The Black Mirror Hints

I have the label, but how do I get it attached to my bottle of fake oxidant?

  • 1 of 8: It was stuck to the glass with glue.
  • 2 of 8: How is glue on labels and sealed envelopes and such usually removed, especially when tearing the paper is a strict no-no?
  • 3 of 8: You've undoubtedly seen a TV show or movie in which someone steamed open an envelope so they could read its contents and reseal it without a trace that it had been opened.
  • 4 of 8: You'll need to generate some steam, and apply it to the old label.
  • 5 of 8: Once the label is off, you'll have to figure out how to attach it to the bottle of fake oxidant so that it won't come off easily.
  • 6 of 8: What was it that held the label onto the shard to begin with?
  • 7 of 8: Some glue should do.
  • 8 of 8: Use the glue on the label and then the label on the bottle to get your fake oxidant all finished up.
