Repairing Video Game Boxes with the “Retro Hot Plate”
February 28, 2022Repairing Crushed Big Box Games with the “Retro Hot Plate”
Squashed, flattened, broken or torn cardboard game boxes can be heart breaking and I appear to own more than most. Often they are included with a donated system, languishing at the bottom of a box. So I thought I’d try to make good some of the examples I have by coming up with a technique to straighten them out. I’m sure we can refine this further in time but I’m pretty happy with the results so far, it just needs a name!
