WaxyMocha Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hi, I have found TB and part of it, laminated piece of paper to be exact, is starting to deteriorate and I have laminator so I can try to pull paper off old casing and put it in new one, but I don't know if this wouldn't be against rules . What should I do? Let it live it's life or extend it? Quote Link to comment

Would be nice to see it (by it's Reference number) so we could see how past finders have been handling it. Is the "part" of it a goal/mission for it, or is it the trackable itself (just a laminated paper with the code)? Like RuideAlmeida, I'd attempt to email the Trackable Owner and ask them what they'd like done with it first. If no response for a while, I might help the trackable from further damage by just placing it in a baggie that fits it well and move it along. Also might re-write a mission statement (and laminate it) if the TO responds, rather than "try to" fix what's there, and mention it in my log when dropped. - We'll only repair if the TO responds. It's not ours. Quote Link to comment

I have business card size pouches, and I type up a summary card (TB Name, Owner, Date and place released, and the mission) and attach that to the TB. If there is already a card or other mission attached, I'll leave it alone, unless it needs obvious attention. I like to know a TB's mission before I take it; it's not always convenient to look it up on the spot, and it's nice to be able to see a quick mission statement so I can decide if I want to or am able to help it along. I figure some cachers are like me and will appreciate the tags I make. They won't last forever, but they may help for a time. Quote Link to comment
