Hi Forum
Does anyone know what kind of glue Mills used to attach the paper ID tags inside the cabinets?
Thanks
John

I could be wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that they used "mucilage" glue. I used to use that when I was a kid, it was LePage's glue, brown stuff in a glass bottle with an odd rubber tip on the cap.

Yes, and that's the reason why most of the tags are no longer intact.
As the glue dried-out over the years, many of the tags fell off.
The best glue that I have found acceptable for most of the items that
I need to attach, is 3M Brand Spray Glue, in the rattle-can. Even for
mounting reel strips on the tin reels that do not have channels. I have
been using it for several years, with excellent results.
