VHS casette case repair (foil heat sealing)
« on: July 10, 2021, 10:12:23 am »
Hello, I have a question for my colleagues - cassette purists, or actually VHS cassette cases:) Has any of you ever repaired the foil for the box label? It would be nice to get at least the foil itself, which is on the VHS cases. I have one box from the collection that I would not like to replace for compositional and aesthetic reasons with another. Unless someone has one for sale.
Greetings!

It sounds pretty irreparable. Try eBay?
Best Regards, Chris

Well, it's super finnicky, ultra DIY, and rather an art than a procedure. Had limited success a couple of times, but it's a real pain.
Transparent part was from a paper holder. Laid it out (oversized ofc) on the case, used a piece of teflon foil to avoid melting in, and used a soldering iron with a flat tip (weller, 8).
Not talking about the white teflon tape, the teflon foil  was a replaceable cover for my grill fryer.
Keep in mind, that it will likely never look like original. Well, I couldn't make it pretty, just "working".
