Peeling sideblades

[lukewells]

So all the games I have with side blades are peeling up and/or wrinkled.

Has anyone had any success in re-sticking these by applying glue?

Obviously it needs to be some sort of glue with a working time, to allow them to be adjusted and flattened out.

Or do I just throw them in the bin?


Are all sideblades like this, or do some makers use better adhesive?

What make are they? I've never had those issues.

High humidity in the room your Pins are in?

I think sometimes cleaning products used in the past can cause problems, have one game that never stuck quite as well as the others.

The old retro refurbs site said warming with a hairdryer can soften and reactivate the glue, not sure if that applies to all types tho

No idea what make they are, they came with the games. I don't seem to have any that are actually stuck down properly

I'll give the hairdryer a try
