Despite careful handling, I have a few corners of my albums that have come apart. Before they get worse or tear, I would like any suggestions of how to reglue the small glue strip that has separated. I was thinking some fabric glue sparingly applied by a rolling Q-Tip or other brush. Glue around coins is problematic. I also have Elmer's glue stick which is photo safe but who knows a safe procedure?

There is bookbinding tape (cloth) that may be a good product for this...

I believe it would be okay to use a glue that you cannot smell after it dries/cures. I would remove the pages from the binder and I would not return them until I was sure there was no out-gassing from the dried adhesive. That being said, the bookbinding tape is probably a safer approach, assuming the adhesive does not smell.

I had a corner of a page from one of my Dansco albums separate from the cardboard core. I just used a toothpick and wood glue - I put a very thin film of the glue on the cardboard, using the toothpick to get as close to the area where the cover is still attached to the core. I let it set for a few seconds then pressed the top down on to the core and placed a book over it for weight for several hours.

Just go VERY sparingly with the glue and don't go beyond the area where the Mylar film slides in.

How about compression clamp 90 degree metal corner clips?
- Should be available from any specialist stationery shop, such as Office Works.

That's the type of glue you are looking for. It's available from Amazon
