Some of the soft lettering decals on my caravan have started to lift away at the corners (Probably due to over enthusiastic cleaning). What would be a suitable adhesive to stick these down again?
Hi Michael - I think that PVA adhesive may not be suitable because it relies on the water evaporating to form the bond, and in this case it will be trapped between two impervious surfaces. A solvent based adhesive may attack one or other of the surfaces so my immediate reaction is to suggest double sided Selotape, but how you do that neatly right up to the edge of the decal I do not know! I look forward to reading other suggestions - John
Now i do not know whether it will work for you but we had a strip 1 metre long which come adrift and i asked a guy that does that sort of work and he said clean the surface behind much as possible, then with a hair dryer gently warm the strip and area ,then run your finger press along the strip without stretching it to its position.So far and it is now two years it has not come apart
