peeling stickers
« on: January 23, 2018, 07:27:27 AM »
does anyone have a proven way of re sticking warning stickers or infact any decals...not ones that have peeled off...
just re attaching when the corners roll up from years of cleaning ..picking and more than likely pressure washing just to stop any more peeling...
i was just going to use some kind of super glue but wondered if there was a better product...trick

Those little flag shaped DeCarbon stickers on shock absorbers are a bitch, the ends of mine are held down with Evo Stick.

As above,  something like evostick.

Clean with surgical spirit and the let the glue dry on both sides before refixing. 3M photomount spray is similar to EVO if you need a fine spray over a bigger surface area so you get no lumpy bits.

Generally available superglue is hygroscopic so it can be released by soaking, so will normally let go again in a bike environment, eventually.

Please be careful.
Glues with 'thinner' based products in them might affect the paint (a lot).

Agreed .. I would try to use water clear epoxy. Just make sure you remove excess and then  hold in place with masking tape until it cures. This may be suitable but need to test on a painted surface first.
