I’m in no rush to do this, but my “jacking instructions” decal fell off my jack storage board, completely intact, and I want to glue it back on.
Any suggestions on what glue to use? It's original & fragile, so I don't want to mess it up with the wrong glue.

I think 3M spray adhesive would work well for this application

3M 77 Never lets you down. Thin film on both objects you are glueing.Let sit for 60 secs then put them together.

The 3M spray looks like a good choice. I'll experiment first on a piece of paper, before gluing the old decal.

I'd be VERY careful with the 3M stuff. While it's the best item for the job, once it tacks up it's very sticky and if one spec gets on your fingers and you try to pick up the jack label it will tear it easily when you go to pull your fingers away. Also, have a small roller handy to roll out any air bubbles before it completely dries. ARA

I would use rubber cement after ur done make a ball of dried rubber cement called a jeep and go around and clean the edges-old graphic artist trick while doing cut n paste.

I would prob use something besides the 3M stuff....
I have an old wallpaper seam roller I use to smooth out bubbles in decals and stickers/labels, etc...
Used carefully it works well..

Wayne,
Go to your local arts and crafts store and pick up a bottle of mucilage glue. I have always heard that is what was used at the factory. Apply it to the board first (in an area larger that the applique) and then apply the label...neatness did NOT count originally.

That's correct - same stuff your little kids used at school - was also used for other "stickers" like the Posi and the window price sticker.
