We bought a Radio Flyer twist trike for a granddaughter.
Several of the reviews on Amazon said that the decals come off. Well, ours just arrived and while putting it together, I happened to brush my hand against one of the decals. It lifted completely off.
I checked the other decals (there are 8-10 in all) and they are all barely stuck on. The decal itself looks like the soft stickers that are sometimes used to adhere to glass -- the kinds that can be removed and reattached, I think by static eletricity.
These are not exactly like that. They feel more like cellophane and they do have some very weak adhesive on the back, but are easily pulled off. They won't last a week.
I am wondering what kind of glue I should use to attach them more securely? I am thinking contact cement. Is there something better?
The one problem is that some of them are used to cover the recess holes where the thing is bolted together. I don't imagine ever having to take it apart, so I'm not concerned about permanently covering up the holes. In fact, I'm tempted to fill the holes with putty or wood filler the lessen the chances of something punching through the decal.
Suggestions?
This sure ain't the quality of my little red Radio Flyer wagon about
50 years ago.
