what glue for emblems

Got it painted, now to put the emblems back on. What do I use in the way of adhesive to install the rear bumper emblem. It originally had a glue backing which is long gone. sticky tape is too thick, soooo silicon or weather strip glue or what?

Re: what glue for emblems

i would use the 3m tape.. it comes in different thicknesses, sticks well, and is relatively easy to remove if you ever need to.

Re: what glue for emblems

I'd say epoxy, you can get it at any auto parts store. When I got my new emblems they had the 3m tape on them and in about a week they fell off the car. The only thing they held to was the metal emblem, cause I had to scrap it off. The epoxy works great and it will not have the emblem sticking out like the tape does.

Re: what glue for emblems

You could use 3M double sided tape or 3M also makes a special adhesive just for emblems.

I used the 3M tape (on fresh paint too) and never had a problem or lost an emblem. Just make sure the surface is room temp. and clean and it will stick forever.

Re: what glue for emblems

the adhiesive they got nowadays is extemely strong, the only way i see it coming off is if you didn't prep the surface correctly
