Is this Crushed GBA Box Salvageable?

Жыл бұрынToday I'm exploring techniques to restore cardboard video game boxes. This copy of Pac-Man on the GBA is crushed and includes rips, a detached flap and sticker residue. Let's see what we can do!

Great video. I use Goo Gone for sticky residue works a treat and doesn't leave any mark. Great for game boxes and glossy labels (nes,snes) but have to be careful with N64 as the labels are not protected with a gloss coating. Hair dryer for sticky tape can help get it off in one go. Sharpies are an awful purple colour not great for filling in those gaps, looking for a texta that is actual black can be effective.

Your explanation of how it works is basically dead on mate. Real men own an iron haha(never said something about using it haha) dude you did an amazing job. Exciting adventure!

Ironically (no pun intended), as I get a bit older and buy nicer, more expensive shirts ironing is an inevitability.

Nice! Have you tried anti bacteria wipes instead of alcohol?
@retrogameon Жыл бұрын
I haven't, no. I considered them for general cleaning of consoles etc but was scared away by the ingredient list. I can't remember the specifics, but as if I really understood what I was reading anyway lol

@@retrogameon Fair enough. Just curious how they would perform at the task.

What % isopropyl did you use?
@retrogameon Жыл бұрын
Very high percentage. Something like 98.9%. Lower would likely be safer.
