I’ve used the paper repair tape to mend or repair old boxes before, the cardboard on the old Electro attachments are so brittle, one tab has been broken off the sprayer box, luckily it was in the bottom of the box. You can buy the pre glued paper tape online, simply wet, and stick. I wet the cardboard a bit in the repair area, then put a weight on it to straighten it and keep it from warping when drying. I repaired an old Robot toy box from 1969, thought I’d try to preserve these boxes. Also you can add a pc to keep from breaking any further too. Your going to want to look at the PCs from time to time, it helps the old cardboard from any further breaking or cracking. Works good to reinforce corners too.

Great share, I too have done this, in particular, I repaired a damaged attachment carry caddy. With care, you get great results. | ||

I did this a while back thought I’d post it again, found this empty 18 pack of bags flattened out in a drawer, not sure what year, I cut a combo of pink foam and wood to get the thickness, not sure why I saved it, but my mom did all those years, so why not lol,,
