advice for reglue of Rodan labels

[Bogdan Paduraru]

Hello ,
Kindly excuse the silly question , but , please let me know if some one tried to re glue the labels that fell off from Rodan tubes ..I have several in such condition I am looking to glue the labels back  without compromising them   , but have no idea what type of glue to use

My wife, who is a paper conservator says, (sorry for bad English)

"with a provisio because I can't see the backside, so don't know what glue was being used:

use starch  based glue 

or pva-c based glue.

alternatively, you could also try to very lightly moisten the backside with a q-tip to see if the original glue 're-activates'

if it does not, it's probably not water-based glue, you could try heating it up with a spatula to try and reactivate it."
