Ok I am looking for some help on this one...does anyone have any problems with the plastic bubble separating from the card?? some of my trucks that were sealed perfectly have recently started to come apart, why does this happen and can anyone recommend a good tape that will be transparent enough to hold them in place and not show? thanks  |

If the card is find and not torn, you might try just a drop of superglue to put them back together. That should be transparent enough for you. You would notice tape to much.

My warning on super glue is it definitely has a vapor to it .
Any fingerprints will get the vapor on them and show up and you can end up with the truck cloudy too .
And watch how much you use as it will spread as you push the bubble back down , and you don't want an oozy mess coming out around the edging .
Be Careful !

I disapprove superglue as is can discolor the card... I use fine amounts PVA for my custom resealing, drys clear and doesnt effect the card |

here the way i do it. i use a glue pen (ZIG 2way glue) i get it at a scrap book place. its thin like a paint pin and goes on blue so you can see where u are putting the glue, then it dries clear. its perfect for these cards, no yellowing. the glue pen is blue color chisel tip and dries very quickley. |

Yep same problem here seems like the 07 and 08 set has the biggest issues. Old topic but see link below.
