    I don't know, but that sure is a good looking 67. Send me some pics.

      The window sticker isn't judged, but originally it was affixed with a water-based diluted mucilage glue (like kids used to use at school).

        John, what a memory jog. I recall the bottle with the dauber that was split, you pushed it down upside down and out came this clear glue. Can't remember the name though. Seems to me it started with an L. Do you recall? Man that goes back to the late 40's early 50's. L O N G time ago. Bill.

          Does this mean I'm old?

          Think it's LePage's glue...

            Paul, go to a crafts store and purchase a small rattle can of spray adhesive. It's the kind used by elementary school kids to create holiday crafts. It will hold the paper to the window, yet not cement it on.

              No Don, it's means we have a VERY good memory. La Page sounds right. Thanks, Bill. Now why did I write this?

                What I remember most is how awful it tasted. (but I never inhaled, honest)

                Didn't EVERYONE eat glue, or am I just watching too much Simpson's???

                  Yeah, but the white paste was the real yummy stuff! I remember my grandmother using the pink angled tip with the golden glue to stick envelopes and stamps. I don't know if it is still available. I haven't seen it, nor have I really tried to look for it.

                    And if you can remember the white stuff, yeah, you're old enough, but to remember Lepage's must be really old.
                    LePages still has all kinds of glue.....just not the clear stuff in the neat split tip bottle.

                      Just thinking......those really were the good old days, when you could eat the glue. Wouldn't dream of eating any of that toxic stuff that's put out nowadays.
                      Be sure and try out any glue you do get with a scrap on a piece of glass before you adhere the sticker....some of those adhesives lie and tell you they aren't cement, but it will take a razor to get them off. Unless that's what you had in mind.
