Need help with my Itoya Portfolio...

So...
My boyfriend bought one of those 18``x24`` Itoya portfolios so I can store my large cels in. I was so happy and I ended up breaking it.... ~_~ The plastic sheets came loose from the spine and the adhesive just basicly gave way. They are not completely free from the book, they are still stuck to the spine but 3/4ths of it is loose.

He got it online and I don't want to deal with returns. Does anyone know of a good adhesive that would bond well with the book? If all else fails im getting black duck tape and duck taping it back in there. LOL My large cels have gone too long without a book and it is still good to use but I need the two segments of sheets back in. The sheets are not seperate they are all melted together but they are in two segments. Man I hope that makes sense. LOL Any suggestions? (besides buy a new book... LOL)

thanks!

Just make sure you use the glue gun when the cels are not in the bags

would hate if the bag melted and fused with the cels

HAHA yeah i took them out. I used a high heat hot glue gun and it worked perfectly! I am so happy now!! Now ALL of my cels are in books! ^__^ LOL He also got me a smaller but still large book for my other cels with backgrounds. yay! Now i need to find out the best way to store the huge one(it is rather HUGE to hang... @_@) thank you everyone! ^_^

i am a little late on this, but if that happens again... itoya also sells 3 ring binder cel books. my advice would be to get a single-hole puncher and fit them to one of these binders. you are still saving money because itoya does not include sheets in their larger binders (at least, not that i am aware of - you have to buy the sheets seperately.)
