I used to collect stickers when I was little so it’s always in me that enjoy stickers.
Aww, that makes so much sense!
It must bring back a little bit of that childhood excitement every time you open a new sticker sheet. ![]()
The best thing about it is that the razor knife is much thinner to get under the edge than any set of tweezers is
That’s a great tip!
I hadn’t thought about using a razor knife for that, but it makes perfect sense. The thinner edge would make it much easier to lift those tiny stickers without getting in the way. Thanks for sharing your trick! ![]()
You are very welcome.

My small bottle stickers are lifting at the edges after several hours. I have attempted to restick the edges and even used a small piece of double sided adhesive tape.
But the edges still lift after a while. So I end up flatish labels on the bottles secured only by the centre of label. Not realistic.
I’m now onsidering glueing them on.
Has anyone eles had this issue?

I’ve had this happen with tiny bottle labels before too.
If the adhesive just isn’t holding, I’d definitely use a very small amount of glue instead. I usually apply it with the tip of a toothpick so I don’t end up with glue everywhere. Just a tiny dab along the lifting edges is usually enough to keep them in place. Hopefully that solves it because those little bottles deserve to look as realistic as the rest of the build! ![]()

Great tips!! Using tweezers has definitely been a lifesaver for getting those tiny pieces on straight.![]()
I don’t know what I’d do without my tweezers. They make placing those tiny pieces so much easier and save me from having to reposition them over and over. Definitely one of my most-used tools on every build! ![]()
Yess!! I honestly don’t think I could finish a single kit without them nearby.![]()
@Rod_B if there not sticky even wih double sided tape id maybe use a tiny amount of
Glue myself i hope this helps ! ![]()

Thanks for your reply. I will try the glue after I see if my next trick works.
It seems that when I apply the stickers and press them down they seem to be well stuck for awhile.
I removed all stickers and cleaned the bottles with alcohol and re stuck them.
Then I wrapped the bottles tightly with small strips of paper and sticky tape.
I will leave them for a day, remove the paper and wait another day.
If that fails I will use glue. I have a feeling my extra effort will fail.
My suspicion is that the surface of the plastic bottles is rejecting the adhesive on the stickers. The stickers probably work better on a less smooth surface.
Hahaha, same here! ![]()
My tweezers are always within arm’s reach. I honestly think they’re the real MVP of every build. I don’t know how I ever managed without them! ![]()
That actually sounds like a really good experiment!
I hope it works because you’ve definitely given those stickers every chance to bond. Your theory about the smooth plastic surface makes a lot of sense too. If they still start lifting after all that, I’d probably go with a tiny amount of glue and call it a day.
Either way, I’d love to hear the results. Hopefully your extra effort pays off! ![]()
Yep, mine have lifted. I end up using a tiny bit of glue
