Basic ways of gluing together torn banknotes

In order to glue a torn bill, there are a few simple but quite effective ways.

Method number 1

In this situation, you will receive the most common office scotch. It should be used in case the defect is small. In the opposite case, such a fix will look rather rude and catch your eye.

In order for the seam to look more neat, the following procedure should be followed:

1. Place the bill on a flat surface.
2. Measure the gap length.
3. Cut a piece of tape that is equal to the length of the bill break.
4. Glue the adhesive tape to the torn place. This should be done very carefully so that no creases form.

Important! For today in stationery shops it is possible to get a special scotch for repair of monetary denominations.

Method # 2

In this case, you will need an exclusively adhesive pencil:

• Take an adhesive pencil and lead them only along the ends of the rupture.
• Allow to dry a little. After 2-4 minutes, this operation should be repeated anew.
• Put two parts of the bill on paper. Gently join them.

Important! Be sure to match the top and bottom edges, as well as the picture on the front side.

• Using a stationery brush or cotton swab, apply a little dust( talc, starch or chalk) to the bonding points.

Important! This is necessary to ensure that the note is not stuck to its surface or other money while in the purse.

• Leave for half an hour to allow the glue to dry. After the specified time you can safely go to make purchases, as the place of the joint is almost invisible.

Important! You can use not only an adhesive pencil, but also a glue "Moment" or PVA.

Method No. 3

Despite the fact that this method takes longer than the previous ones, thanks to it the seam remains invisible. In order to glue a banknote in this way, you will need:

• Glue PVA;

Important! Always pay attention to the consistency of the glue. It should be rather thick, not liquid at all.

• Glass bottle;
• Iron.

How to proceed:

• To begin with, glue should be applied to the torn end of the bill. You can do this with a match or toothpick.

Important! If you accidentally went abroad and smeared the bill with glue, you can always wipe it with a dry cloth or napkin.

• Put the bill on the bottle and connect the halves to the other side. Try to accurately combine the pattern and avoid overlap.

Important! You can use wax paper instead of a bottle.

• Fix the joints and walk along them with a spout of hot iron.
• Wait a few minutes until everything is cool.

That's it, the money is ready for you to spend it!

Useful advices and recommendations:

• If the currency bill broke up not into two but into three parts, it affected its series and number, unfortunately, it is no longer subject to gluing and loses its solvency.

Important! In the event that the numbers are preserved, then it is better not to glue such a bill, but immediately to carry it to the bank.

• If the banknote has broken up into two parts: one big and small, you can safely glue it or take it to the bank.

Important! In this case, you have the right to bring only one - a large, part of the banknote for an exchange.

• When gluing, try to do everything slowly and very carefully.
• Drying a bill after gluing is best in an upright position.
• It is better to place large cash carriers for drying in a safe.
• To avoid breaks, try to carry money in your wallet or purse.
• Check always the money that you give for change.

As you can see, sticking a bill is not difficult. And if you happen to have such a trouble, and negligent sellers refuse to accept it as payment, you can easily "patch up" it without problems. The most important thing is to do everything neatly and slowly. Only in this case you will get a smooth seam, which even a bank employee with experience can not make out.
