Repairing jackets?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

I was eagerly opening up my ebay-won TESB laserdisc out of the its
cardboard mail package with scissors, accidentally putting two big
scratches on an otherwise perfectly-mint jacket (and it's the rare
Kuraray pressing too- damn!). Is there anyway to 'correct' the white
scratches by covering them with gloss paint or something? I know it
makes me sound like an obsessive lunatic, but...I feel like I ruined
the value of the LD by those two big scratches...

I found a place a year or so ago that could reproduce LP jackets, and promised
"perfect" results and a product that looked ldentical to the original. I assume
they could do LD jackets as well, and I may be able to dig up their contact
info if you'd like.

Yeah! Either put it here or shoot me an email...

If the part you scratched is solid black, a really deep glossy solid
black, I find that using a little bit of Sharpie marker in moderation
blends in well. This is really only recommended for little knicks and
scratches, preferably near the spine area. A long gouge across the face
of the cover is not something you want to fill in with marker.

It's a small white scratch in the 'E' of 'Empire', and a big one
across the 'S' in 'Strikes'. Btw, it's the Faces edition, the one with
purple letters. I wish I knew what kind of gloss paint they used to
print the jackets. To be honest with you, the scratches aren't
extremely bad, but they do take away from the mint appearance. I'm not
nearly this obsessive with my other LDs, but I wanted to keep my OT
LDs in mint collectible condition.
