For re-attaching original stickers? I just got my Dragun, and the waist sticker is coming off on the back. Best choice for re-gluing?
(p.s. Not sure if this should be in this or the Sales/Repairs forum.)

spray adhesive from any crafts store works fine.

Ooh thanks. It's still partly on so is there a viable roll on, or squeeze bottle glue that might work?

Depending on how small the area is, or how tight an area you need to access (i.e., the waist sticker behind the rocket launchers of a T-28) I have put a small amount of regular, store brand, super glue on the tip of a toothpick and applied the small amount to the sticker backing. This only works in stickers that have peeling edges, or waist stickers that begin to loosen. By using this technique you can prevent over applying glue and the inevitable run off that will surely follow.

When it comes to paper or stickers I personally think nothing works better than rubber cement.

Ahh! I knew there was something I had in mind that I couldn't remember and that's IT. Perfect, thanks!

Rubber glue is nice, because if you want to replace your decals in the future, it peels off easy.....well easier than super glue..but super glue dries a lot faster and saves time..I use stick glue...the stuff your kids use in school...or you used in school, it tacks up fast, and dries clear, in case any squishes out. Super glue can leave a white film, and rubber glue is slower to dry. I like 3-M spray glue, if your decal come all the way off. You can also spray some 3-m in a pile, and use the tooth pick to all in small area's.
Good luck.

I have stick glue here at home, maybe I'll just try that first.

thats probably the best bet. no need to over complicate it. keep in mind, if you ever want to get uniform coverage of adhesive so no bubbles occur when you apply a custom cut out, old decal etc, the spray stuff is probably the easiest and certainly the fastest solution. ive redone raydeens leg labels using a glue stick and it still looks fine.

Glue stick seems to have worked like a charm. Hopefully I'll remember this the next time a sticker comes loose.
