Good glue for labels/decals?

[electronizer]

I have an XG-1 light gun with the side decal peeling off. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good glue to use to reattach it? I know some glues will cause wrinkling/react with the plastic poorly/etc.

I'd recommend double sided tape instead of glue.

I was thinking about that too...the XG-1 side decal is long and thin, and it will be difficult to glue it evenly without squeezing out excess glue along the sides.

I would use double sided crafter/scrap-bookers tape.... does a good job is extremely thin and is safe for paper even... no acid discoloration etc...

Glue stick, surpsingly enough, works well for cartridge labels. It would probably work on the light gun decals as well. It doesn't cause wrinkling, a good "archival quality" one will be low acid so the paper won't decay.

 

I first thought people were crazy when they suggested glue stick for cartridge labels, but I tried it on some worthless ones and found that it actually works. Search the forum pages here for several discussions on the subject.
