How I fix stickers that are coming off of my miniatures

After a while, some miniature pieces will have their stickers coming off. The edges are usually the areas where the adhesives have lost its tackiness. So I use Mod Podge (the one I used was the pale green bottle because I already had that laying around. Its the glossy one). Using a brush, apply a thin layer on the back of the exposed sticker area. If you apply too much, the excess Mod Podge will creep out from the sides and leave marks on the toy. You will then need to use your fingernails to scratch it off and it takes a lot of work. After application, press the stickers back onto the toy and immediately wipe off excess Mod Podge that has crept out. I like to press it for about a minute before wrapping rubber bands around the item. Let dry overnight and they will be ready for pictures or your display!
