gluing on a paper label

Post by mdutko »

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

3M spray adhesive. I also spray a thin coat of clear lacquer over the label before gluing it in...a little moisture protection
