  • 1.  Ad on Ironing Board

    Posted an hour ago

    We had an ironing board donated a couple months ago, there is an advert glued to the front middle. Lists the brand/model and all that, but the issue is that top right corner is damaged (torn, adhesive is dried out, advert is pulling away from the board). 

    My question is how should I go about preserving it?

    Should I lay down some DST and Mylar and seal it over the whole piece?

    Do I just leave it be and let it naturally fall off?
