   [kinda-OT, toys] Old decals problem   
   22 Apr 06 15:30:05   
   
   From: eva_unit_4a@yahoo.com   
      
       I recently purchased a sealed/mint 15yr-old toy from the 1991 anime   
   "Brave of the Sun Fighbird".  The decals were completely intact on the sheet   
   when I opened it, and all of the ABS was cleaned & dried beforehad with   
   simple paper towels.  However, for whatever reasons (I'm assuming age),   
   eseveral of the deals immediately begen to peel away from curved surfaces or   
   places they had to curve around.  It's almost like the adhesive isn't even   
   there, or it's lost its gripping capabillity.  Also, I have some other   
   pieces in my collection that have decals that are naturally decaying over   
   time.   
      
       I have tried double-sided tape and elmers glue, but neither works for   
   very long, if at all.  And I don't want to use super glue for fear of   
   risking damaging plastic or the decals.  What could I use as a replacement   
   adhesive?   
      
       Thanks,
