    I have used Fabric Glue. But I would bet plain old Elmers Glue would work too.

      The Stickers on my Ponch were falling off. So, I took my daughters elmers glue stick, and rubbed the sticker over the glue. It worked like a charm, and there was no mess.


      Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

        I've used elmers ... or double sided tape (but only on repros)

        I think Mitch's use of the elmers glue stick would be a great idea on original emblems. no risk of damage to emblem or outfit

          Elmers glue stick is nice because it's also washable if you change your mind later.

              I to have been pondering that question for some time and have been thinking about posting and asking although I kept forgetting to ask after looking through all of the other threads. I have some original emblems and I want to make sure that I do not ruin the collector value by using the wrong glue. I have been hesitant to actually place them on the costumes due to this. Thanks for asking the question Jayihdz. Also thanks to all of those who have answered.

                Hmmmm....

                I think for original emblems (or similar repro ones) I'd go with a flexible, washable fabric glue. Elmers is pretty good; but I can see it crisping up in a year or so, and losing it's hold. Paper sticker emblems like the CHiPs ones are trickier, since I don't know how well the fabric glue would bond with the paper.

                  I used Elmers white glue about 4 yrs ago to reglue my original Emblem back on Mr Fantastic. The sticker is still there and no ill effect to Mr Fantastice uniform.

                    Really?!?!? And those FF emblems are more like vynil aren't they..... Nifty!

                    Now; how much handling do your figures get? The fabric glue I use on mine holds up to some pretty vigorous playing... er.... posing.
