whats the best way to reglue record covers


I have several album covers(mostly DGG...) which have become unglued at the back where the front and back meet.It seems that the glue has dried out.
Would appreciate any advice on which glue to use to reglue these sucessfully
Thanks

Hi,
I have glued 100s of these and use Pattex contact glue (sparingly!). Hot melt is more tricky to keep thin and not squeeze out and then in need of trimming etc.

Since usually one side has a foil lining I find contact glue is the best solution --- just DO NOT put the record back in immediately to prevent the vinyl getting in touch with any out-gassing of the glue's solvent (vinyl does NOT like to get 'gassedÂ’ with thinners :-) I speak from bad experience.
Greetings,
Axel
