Hey all,
I have several parts, on which the stickers are starting to peel. Is it allowed
to glue them down again if I want to sell the parts, or would that be tampering?
And if it's ok, what glue can you recommend?
Cheers,
Patrick

Glue would ruin both the part and sticker.

Scale modelers sometimes use a special solvent that allows the decal to be moved
or repositioned. I would imagine there's a solvent, or perhaps the same one,
that can fix glue issues with decals.

You should ask your local scale model shop if they have anything for fixing decals.

Glue is not the answer, you need the solvent that's compatible with plastics
and decals, and which won't melt them.

Cheers ...

Do not sell them glued. List them in the condition they're in and offer
a good description and discount. It will actually save you time (and money)
vs trying to repair them.

Some people might even buy the part planning to remove the sticker, so gluing
is a definite "no".

A water based craft/school type glue like Elmers would work without causing damage
to the plastic. Dries clear too. It can be easily removed with water. I would
mention it in the description.
