I have used two solutions. One is, take the sticker off and then glue it back on with contact cement; two is, take the stickers off entirely, clean the glue with rubbing alcohol or some such (careful you don't use something that dissolves the plastic!), and then paint the cubies. Pick a paint designed to stick to plastic; model paint probably will work well, though I used some artist's paints we had around. > and why don't they use something different, like plastic color tabs > that are superglued on? Not being someone who has ever made that decision, I don't know...but my guess is, cost.. :-( der Mouse mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
