I have an original Batman, but his original emblem keeps falling off. Any ideas on how to glue it back on without damaging the sticker?Thanks
Hmmmm....
Fabric glue. Get the washable/dries flexible stuff.

I got this one guys............
Carefully place glue on back of emblem. Firmly press against his chest. Allow 2-4 hours to dry.

I always use Elmer's white glue
Works like a charm and don't hurt the fabric or sticker.
Just apply a little pressure (not much) until the glue sets in a minute or so.

I use double stick tape, the scotch thin type, the emblems I've used it on have stayed on for years

Permanent adhesive spray to the sticker. That's what I would do...

Yep, Scotch double-sided tape works great too.

This is what I recommend:
Buy a can of Elmer's Craft Bond Spray Adhesive. Spray a small amount onto a plastic plate or some other disposable item. Dip a paint brush into the glue and lightly apply it to the back of the emblem. Press the emblem firmly to the desired area and continue to apply pressure for a couple of minutes to give it time to adhere. This should be sufficient in most cases to hold the emblem in place.
I'd like to take credit for this method, but it was actually suggested to me by MM member Wildstar, and it works great!
