The backs of the vertical stickers (not the body tube roll stickers) will get a fresh shot of 3M Multipurpose 45 spray adhesive.
This is considered a "photo mount" adhesive with not a big grab. It allows for a little re-positioning before you would do a final burnish.
NOTE: I didn't lift the body tube "roll" band stickers. An easy fix is shown at the bottom of the post.
Some masking tape was set down on scrap cardboard, sticky side up.
Note just the edge of the flipped over stickers was set on the tape.
Spray a even coat, directly over the top. You don't want any adhesive to get under to the print side (facing down).
The edges of the roll patterns were also starting to lift.
Lightly set the sticker back on the body using the masking tape corners for alignment.
Before burnishing,
Use your aluminum angle to check the horizontal alignment. Here I'm looking across the top of the text.
The edges of the roll patterns were also starting to lift.
Squares of clear Scotch tape were cut on a piece of plexiglass. These were lifted and set in place using the tip of my knife blade, not using my fingers. Use your fingers and you'll see dirt and fingerprints through the tape.
Perfect? No, but much better.
