| Hello all,
I have a question: I have a few parts by now, on which the previous owners pasted
stickers wrongly. There's a few minifigs from the
with the white stickers on red torsos, and some others. It drives (the Monk in)
me crazy, but I can't bring myself to just rip of the stickers and throw
them out - you never know when you'll need them! Any suggestions on a way
to save the stickers and the parts?
Cheers,
Patrick

| Quite often you can carefully remove a sticker and place it back on correctly
without damaging the piece or the sticker. I often do this with stickers that
are upside down or crooked.

Sometimes, by carefully sliding a thin blade under one corner/side of the sticker,
you can grasp is and pull it off intact (Carefully!) Then stick it to a piece
of wax paper to save it for use later. This process causes no damage to the part
and the sticker will still stick to a different part. Also, if there is gunk
or sticker residue on the part, this can be easily removed with any kind of 'goo-gone'
product. (note: this doesn't work on really old stickers that have been applied)

Thanks for your input! What I'm not sure about though: Would you still sell
the stickers afterwards - whether applied to a new piece, or not? I'm afraid
that the glue might get too damaged in the process, and the sticker fall off
later.
