UBB.threads Forums General Interest Restoration, Conservation, and Maintenance Forum Photo Album - Fix Loose Photos???

I have 5 photo albums. A couple of them have photos that have fallen out, or are about to fall out.

What is the consensus on fixing them? I don't normally like to alter item, but in this case, it is to prevent further damage or replace photos to their exact known position.

If I decide to re-attach the photos, what is the best way. One album seemed to just use a single drop of glue in the center of each photo. What type of glue should I use? What should I avoid?

Another album's photo's are held in place with two stickers (oval shaped with flat sides - almost shaped like a trck and field running track). Are these available still? The nice thing about the stickers are the photos that have fallen out didn't also take part of the album board with the glue, they just fell out without damaging the album.

Thanks,

Jim

Welcome to the forums..
Some might go about it differently but I'd glue the ones back in that broke free. Just use a similar type glue and as small amount as possible. You might try emailing the moderator here and see what type of glue he'd recommend.

Post a photo of the photo holders on your other album,,maybe someone here might have some for you.. ,G.

I will post photos soon. I have some type of glue stick my wife uses on her scrap books. It says it is for photo albums and I think it said acid free also. I'll get the exact name when I post the pics later.

Thanks!
