Simon- Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! I found a small problem with my bike - the edges of the decals are peeling off. I want to show you how to solve this problem. We will need a degreaser (you can use something like White Spirit) and glue for the fabric in a can. This glue I bought for gluing fabric to the subwoofer-stealth in the car. The peculiarity of this glue is that it is very sticky and sticks even to polyethylene parts. We peel off part of the decals, or even the entire decals. We clean the plastic and the edges of the stickers from dirt. Cover the sticker with a layer of glue. We dry the glue a little with a hair dryer, and glue it from the center to the edges. Similarly, we glue the other edges. I've tried different types of glue, cyanoacrylate glue, rubber glue, clear 3M double-sided tape, but this glue holds the sticker very tightly. When gluing, be sure to use a hair dryer. After gluing the edges of the sticker, you need to warm up the sticker so that it takes a stretched shape. Good luck to all!

b40rt Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 White spirit can leave slightly oily residue, probably better with methylated spirit, or brake cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
