Just swapping my film collecting head for my vinyl record collecting head for a moment (!), is there a "best" type of adhesive to use to re-seal the seams of record covers that have come apart ? It is getting to be quite a regular occurrence nowadays with some of my older sleeves.
Any advice, or is any mild adhesive acceptable ? Thanks.
From past experience I would suggest say conservative use of UHU so it doesn’t overspill would work. Pritt-stick will not last and super glue is overkill.
Thanks Mike. I thought something like UHU would be okay, but thought I would check in case there was some wonder product around that everyone else uses that I wasn't aware of. A bit like using splices instead of cellotape!

When you've sorted out your LPs you can restick those dodgy wallpaper edges. 😁
I use Copydex on mine Melvin - it has the brush in the cap making it easy to apply. Once glued, I put some weight on the seams (Halliwell's Film Guide is pretty good) and leave it overnight.
