Chreees Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 So my sticker is starting to come off on my BJ Glassworks boho, and because I'm so OCD it's bugging the shit out of me. It's just the corner but I can't get it to stick back down. I'm really careful with my bases so not sure how it happened, but I'd like to prevent it from coming off any more if possible. Do you guys know of any kind of protectant clear coat of something I could put on it? Would mean a lot to me if someone knows what I could do.

cotsi95 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 You could try clear nail polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think I would try just a touch of super glue under the corner. Be careful not to glue anything to the corner and tear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, I am just worried I'll fuck it up. :lol: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 what do you care for more? the actual boho or the sticker? Stickers are only good for resale value if you intend to keep it who cares if the sticker is coming off? Should you superglue the sticker back on there will be a little glue mark on the crystal. and it wont be noticeable unless you look through the opening and see it at the bottom but you will look through the opening at it will be noticeable. That will be throwing leaves and paper onto the OCD fire... In any case, i say leave it be. the boho itself is more important than the sticker.

Skoozle Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Tear it off. Fast like a bandaid. Replace it with a "Made in China" sticker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sybian- I just like to keep it on there as nice as possible if I can. No plans on EVER selling it, as it was a gift from a good friend on here.

Epoxy can hold anything and isn't noticeable. That is an incredible gift. Didn't mean to say that. I'd cherish a gift like that forever! I love my BJ Genie! even though i paid for it myself! lol Edited February 21, 2014 by A Sharrp SYBIAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyb88 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'd say rip it off since you don't care to sell it. I ripped my made in Syria sticker off of my good quality Syrian base unknowing ah the time the sticker held value. Still don't regret it especially after finding a stem that fits it.

Chreees Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Dude I had a Made in Syria sticker on my Al Nawras Spear when I got it. When I removed it folks on here told me I was a dumbass, lol. But hell, how was I going to polish my hookah with a sticker in the way? With the boho, it's on the bottom and doesn't really ever get wet. I think I'll borrow my wife's clear nail polish and apply it to the backside of the sticker, see how that goes. I've used nail polish on car decals before with good results, so I'm hoping for the same on glass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 With mine I just took clear shipping tape and put a nice square piece over the sticker of the bohos I have that were peeling.Can't see it on the vase when smoking or anything and I know it isn't going anywhere now :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's not a bad idea, John! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yep works perfectly and they stick nicely. They haven't budged at all in the few years I have had them on there, using glue and stuff just leaves opportunity for a mess and a ripped or gooey sticker.

That_guy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I as well use tape to secure the stickers, well the ones that either get used a lot or are started to peel :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I removed mine and felt stupid afterwards, my friends made me smoke some Hydro Herbal shisha after that and it was not too pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 So I used a piece of packaging clear tape that was just big enough to cover it. Works perfectly. Thanks, John! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bawhee Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I was gonna cross quote a bunch of threads and call you a shill... but it would take too much time so just imagine it. (Chris made a post saying the shill said bud a lot etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Yah know what's funny. When I read what chris wrote in other thread I smiled because I tend to say bud a bit ... looks like you'll just have to trust me ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 i would just leave it , especially if your not going to sell. even if you did sell it , its obviously a boho personally i think the sticker is mostly important on a boho you've never seen before to prove legitimacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah, again, definitely won't be selling this piece. Honestly the only part of my hookah collection I could even consider selling is my Tokel Canary, just because I'm not as attached to it as I am my two Al Nawras hookahs and their bases (this red BJ Glassworks boho and Group Elegance red genie), along of course with my Syrian trumpet that Hassouni brought back from Lebanon for me. These things mean a lot to me, whereas the Tokel Canary doesn't really. Regardless, I am happy with the tape method. You can hardly see it, it's clean, and I know it will prevent the sticker from peeling any more. Thanks again for the suggestion, John. I knew a boho fiend like you would have something up your sleeve! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Lol no problem. That is one reason why I love the Turkish crystals ... they etch a star into the bottom of the vase, so you never have to worry about something peeling off.
