What type of adhesive for peeling Vynil.
« on: January 21, 2021, 07:49:13 pm »
I recently purchased a new multicade, 2 weeks later the vinyl graphics on the side are peeling up. Can anyone suggest a good adhesive I can use to glue it back down with, one that wont bleed through? Thanks!

I would like to know that myself.  The old Gorf machine has some cheap-ass sideart because that was all that was available at the time and the edges are starting to lift.  I'd like to get them stuck down in a way that won't lift off paint when I eventually replace them.

My default for adhesive has always been 3M Super 77 for a nearly always permanent fix for this kind of application.

No idea how it will treat underlying paint though Howard, as I am sure it is full of all sorts of fun little aromatic hydrocarbon things.

Solvent compatibility is always an issue with regard to paints- a lesson I have learned in various hard ways many times- so always test first if you can.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools! I can fix it.

Elmer's makes some big ass glue sticks that are extreme hold, you can get them online or at craft stores, I bet that would work well.

Thanks for that one.
Have to try that out!
