Hi everyone. Does anyone have any advice/experience on attaching a label to the inside of the guitar. I designed a really nice label using Gimp (basically a free open source of Photoshop) I plan on printing it on some type of cool looking paper. I remember from my school days that white glue makes paper curl and is also messy. Any tips or suggestions on what has worked for you. Thanks

I use a bit of hide or fish glue for the labels. I only glue the perimeter t keep the label from curling up as you mentioned.

Since you're looking for long-term durability, acid-free paper would probably be a good idea.

I print mine on normal white paper using a laser printer and the i cover it with french polish mixture. When it dries it can be easily applied an the shellac gives it an antique appearance.
