Dunno about C3's, but the midyear booklet page already had the 2-sided sticky tape on it; they peeled off the top liner and placed the P-O-P on the exposed tape.

I had a repo 70 warranty book that was absolutely perfect except it didn't have this adhesive. I found a recipe for homemade glue on the net and the color and consistency look just right to me.

Do I have to?

Seriously, I have a pic on my main home computer but it's down at the moment. And I really don't remember in which box of stuff the repo's in now that I have my real one.

If you look at originals the glue is a brownish-amber color, and the POP is usually placed imperfectly so you see one or more edges of the square adhesive patch, but just barely. So, the whole thing doesn't have to be perfect (and mine is far from it), you just need to see some of the edges.

I tried various types of tape and glues but they didn't look right to me, but this recipe did. It's not easy to get it on smooth, and it dries quick so you have to practice.

I just looked at the website, www.rubberstampsclub.com/tips/envelopes, and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I think I can find the recipe somewhere if you're interested.
