[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 385859, member: 7379"] I recently bought an otherwise lovely condition Palitoy AT-AT box, but the old glue seal holding the cardboard together has completely failed along the long edge. Fortunately it still some of its original tape on one end, so the box is retaining its shape (just), but I would like to repair it by glueing the failed cardboard join back together again, partly to improve its appearance before I display it, and partly to greatly improve its rigidity so I can safely stack other boxes on top of it. My question therefore is actually quite a simple one: is there a particularly good glue anyone can recommend to achieve this? Obviously many are available on the market, but I wondered whether any other collectors have had to repair boxes in their own collections and can recommend a make / type of glue which they have found to be particularly effective and doesn't risk damaging the box? I wouldn't normally dream of artificially altering a vintage box, but this one is on the verge of falling apart. Can anyone help? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
