Guitar ID Re-attachment

Guitar Doggy · #1 09-20-2021, 08:29 PM

This may seem like a dumb question, but I have a 1974 Guild G37 Acoustic where the inside sticker/label that identifies the serial #, Model # etc fell off. I was going to just try and reattach it in on the inside back with Elmer's glue or something like that.

Before I take such a bold step, just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and if using glue to reattach it is ok. Option B might be to use some good shipping tape or similar. Just want to make sure I don't damage anything.

Appreciate any thoughts from all.

Thanks

Elmer’s glue or rubber cement should work fine. If going with Elmer’s, use a moderate amount - don’t overdo it.

I like thin hide glue, but elmers should be fine. Thin layer on label to minimize squuze out.

3M spray glue works great for attacking paper to wood. Give a little spray and stick it on.

This is an excellent suggestion. Use as little as possible, whether using Elmer’s or 3M Super 7.
