Recently entered the hobby of creating Hot Wheels customs. I remove the plastic blister and make my own cardboard backing for the custom. Now I need to know what glue to use to adhere the plastic blister to the backing? I have some ideas but thought I'd solicit the advice of someone who may have done this. Thanks!

I like the idea of creating your own card. :thumbsup:
Others have probably done this but being new to the board I'll give a quick overview of how I create a custom cardboard backing. I create the image I want with a paint program similar to Photoshop. I size it and print the image on matte photo paper. I use a spray adhesive to adhere the printed image to a cardboard backing. The cardboard stock comes from a common cereal box. The backing is trimmed and clear coated with several coats of Krylon Clear (glossy) for a finished look.

the stick glue that the kids use in school also works.

Make sure you use a straight blister,some get warped during manufacturing and resealing them never works.
