Sticker Removal and Reapplying #1
Trying to make myself a little kit for future SEs, but I wasn't quite sure what people often use when doing a proper sealed box method.

The tool: I heard those plastic blades used on Rubik cubes are quite good at safely removing a sticker without damage? Any other recommendations?
Removal: anyone using anything special here? I know some people do it with a hairdryer but are there any useful substances that could be applied instead?
Reapplying / Regluing: what kind of glue is the best for this? I don't think a 1$ glue stick is gonna cut it...

Bear In mind, some boxes (such as IPhones) are wrapped In clear film and the only way to open It, Is to tear the film Itself.

You may want to add that to your toolkit.

Yes, I'm aware some products come wrapped in clear film. I believe you need a combo of heat sealer and heat gun for those, right?

You'd need a heat sealer machine from here or here, and factory film from this site.

I think I've seen the exact same model all over ebay, I could get it from there instead. Thanks for the film recommendation, I wasn't aware of it.

Yes, of course.

My post was purely based on demonstrating the product.

Considering the glue for sticker reapplying, do you happen to have any suggestions?

You'd need a glue that's transparent with elasticity to prevent shrinkage/expansion when bonding, so have a look at this.
