Hi guys. Any tips for re-gluing a paper tag back onto the interior of the shell of a Rogers Powertone all-metal snare?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Simple white Elmer's glue should do the trick.

Thanks all. I got it up and running. It sounds so much better with that paper tag in there. :)

You bet. It's an essential component to the overall sound. It's a sign of a discerning ear that you can hear the difference between a drum with a paper tag and one that doesn't. I stay away from flat, boxy sounding drums with no paper tag inside myself. Ludwig should have used them on all of their drums! Laughing H

Yep I'll second this advise. Will not damage the paper. Smear a little with your finger on the shell and press the label down. :)

Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

I'm such a klutz! I'm heartbroken! I wrecked the thing! I used super glue. It was all I had OK? ��

It soaked right through the paper and now it's all splotchy and discolored. I was just so eager to do it. I wasn't thinking. What was I thinking? Of course it was going to wreck the paper.

Is it fixable?
