Got to be careful.. it’s ripped a bit …

Hello

I'm just about done with a omega race that I picked up a few weeks ago and I'm looking to install the artwork on the back of the half mirror.. but it's a little ripped

So I was just wondering and looking for opinions on how you all would go about fixing it together..

My first thought was to use gaffing tape .?
Something strong durable sticky that won't fall off or get dried out easily

What do you think ?
what would you use?
What have you used?

Thank you

I used cardboard from a cereal box to do some repairs on my asteroids deluxe. I used wood glue and then but some weight on it. I'm still working on it. Came out great though.

There are some clues there that might help you! Maybe carpet tape or super glue tape on a matching piece of cardboard that you attach from behind. That Omega Race piece looks kinda thick, so maybe something more heavy duty is in order than the usual masking tape or duck / duct tape. (We are all guilty...)

The cardboard and glue will work. I'd use a thin coat of plastic nails. Or a good wood glue.
