[Rockhounds] glue for TN boxes

[Timothy Blackwood]

Hi,

I just print labels to fit the back of the box and secure them with clear tape rolled over so that the sticky side faces out. So far I've experienced no problems. Just an idea. 🙂

Subject: [Rockhounds] glue for TN boxes

I use standard thumbnail boxes (from Shannon) for most of my minerals, and I make labels on card stock that I glue in the back of the top of the boxes.  For years I have used Duco Cement.  Increasingly in the past year or a few, I find that the labels do not stay attached - the glue drop, though well spread out on the flat box surface, curls as it dries and pulls the label free of the box.

Do you have the same experience?  Do you have any solutions?
