CRT labels
What would be the best glue to use to reattach the labels to a crt? I have found the "handle with care etc" label in the bottom of the cabinet of my Regentone set and am wondering what would be the best glue with which to reattach it.
Thanks Steve |

Re: CRT labels
I normally just lightly water down some PVA wood glue and use that, I guess pritt-stick would also do it, or even wallpaper paste if you have some lying about!

Re: CRT labels
Pritt stick is unreliable, in damp or humid conditions, probably not an issue in a TV.
But PVA should give a more long lasting bond, damp cloth to dab of the excess. Mike |

Re: CRT labels
thanks guys I watered down some pva and it did the trick nicely. Also seemed to make the label less brittle
