Help needed with Dansco presidential dollar album

While placing coins in my Dansco (#7184) presidential dollar album, I accidentally pulled the top layer of the page away from the cardboard in the upper right corner and down most of the right hand edge of the page.

I don't think I can get a single page to replace the one I damaged.
If I glue the layer back down, what is the safest kind of glue to use? I was going to use a clear water-based glue that my kids use for their schoolwork.

ELMERS glue all (white)..I have used it on Dansco pages. After you glue it back down, (be sure you only put glue where it was glued before, a very thin layer so it doesn't spread.) Put a weight on top of it for about one hour, and it will be like new.

 

Thanks!

 

That worked perfectly. I removed the page from the album, spread the glue using a fine paintbrush (the "paint by numbers" type) which kept it thin and permitted reaching all of the separated area and left it under a couple of books overnight. You can't even tell it was repaired. Thanks, again.

 

Your very welcome. ED

 

Paper debris and dust in Dansco albums

While we're on the topic, how do you get all the annoying bits of paper debris off the plastic slides? I've tried a can of compressed air sold in photo stores. However, it has a very nasty habit of, on the third or 4th blast of air, ejecting a stream of water from the nozzle that freezes instantly on contact with the surface; not the best thing for a coin album. It doesn't work terribly well, anyway.

 

I have the albums in slipcases, and still have the same problem. That question I can't answer..ED

 

I keep them in slipcases, also. But I find that the debris is already all over the album when they're new. It seems to be left over from the manufacturing.

 

did the exact same thing last night, lol.

 

The debris is supposed to be there to drive us crazy. No?
Prior to inserting any coins- What I do with new Danscos is brush each page off with a very soft 3 inch paintbrush. An unused pure bristle brush is best. Then I take the vacuum hose and vac out the holes with slides removed. Next lightly dust off the slides before placing them back. Lastly, inspect and lightly brush off what trash remains. For what Danscos cost you'd think they would do all this at the factory.
