I wouldn't use it on something like a NWC without consulting an expert though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about removing stickers from cardboard, game labels, or the plastic cartridge shell? Because Goo Gone is 100% fine for removing stickers from a cartridge shell...

bowser | 600 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 @ThePhleo Do you have a recommendation for what adhesive is best for reattaching Gameboy screen lenses back to the shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t but there’s an “ASMR” style video on YouTube somewhere that I think mentions what glue he used. It’s titled “I restored this eBay junk game boy” or something like that.

Tanooki | 4,952 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm not going down the goo gone debate stuff, just going to leave it as 'not a fan' on that. I was hoping to say this but I guess I got beat to it, the elmers glue stick you get in the kids packs for school. Goes on purple, dries clear. I discovered this trick over a decade ago and I've used it on NES and Gameboy labels first going back that long. Some of the old days on NA when I was out west in the earlier times there I'd hit a flea market and get many nice things before it went south. I've had some games now on my shelf 10 years and the glue has held completely in all this time so it works, and it lasted a decade test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 One more for the Elmer's purple glue stick. They're cheap and work great without making a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD | 1,434 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I tend to use picture mounting glue. It is acid free and pH neutral so it doesn't damage pictures, so it should work fine for labels. It comes as a spray. I get it at Michael's but I'd assume you can find it at any store that sells handcraft stuff or Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
