Lay your label face down on a flat surface and apply glue with a water dampened brush. If you wet the face of the bottle with a thin film of water (use yer finger) you'll be able to adjust the label a bit. Don't apply too much glue, it will wrinkle when it dries, and don't get anything too wet, the label will deteriorate right before your eyes. I know a guy who uses a sugar water solution to reattach original labels. You could also use hide glue. Only do this though if your very anal and have a melting pot, LOL. Good Luck, Rich.

I haven't had it come off anything yet, and it won't damage old paper or discolor over time. I got this from a lady who has kept "town scrapbooks" for a great many years, asnd even the 50 year old books look like they were put together yesterday. I haven't tried it on glass yet, but it's worth a try. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 cup ice cold water. Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns almost completely clear. Best stored in the fridge. _____________________________ Glass....toddler.....hmmmmm!
