I once had a cheque guarantee card that got wet, so that the signature
strip began to loosen and you could see the "void" characters behind it.
I peeled the strip off completey and then stuck it back on with liquid
paper.  Nobody complained, even when the strip began to peel off again
and you could clearly see the superglue.  Some shop staff would hold the
peeling strip down with one finger while they processed the purchase.
