Glue

[sodly]

I'm trying to re-glue the little paper jack instruction sheet underneath my seat back down to the floor. Does anyone have a recommendation for what type of glue/adhesive to use? Obviously, I want something that won't soak through the paper and stain it. The factory stuff looks like dried, black tar. I have some 3M general trim adhesive in an aerosol can but I think it will soak into the paper too much and stain it. Hoping to find something "drier" but still permanent. Any ideas? Thanks!

I would use photo spray mount adhesive. Scotch, 3M and many others offer this product.

Any chance of photocopying it and posting a pic?

I remember using something called fly paper that was a glue film with a removable wax type paper. I wouldn't know where it is available to buy.

How about good ol' smelly rubber cement in the little brown glass jar with the brush attached to the cap? Remember that stuff? Adhesives have come a long way since then, but it's absolutely safe for paper, if still available.
Lots of spray adhesives around now like spray 77 or super 90, but not so sure on the paper stain aspect.
I used a school glue stick for my peeling positraction label on the back of the cab above the fuel tank. Worked great, no stains .... can't yet speak for longevivity. I do have my doubts.

Was tempted to try the rubber cement but I haven't used that stuff since I was a kid and couldn't remember what it was like. Ended up using Super 77 and it worked great. Thanks for the tip, oem!

I need to do the same on my optikleen bottle...the decal started to come off the bottle after a few weeks.

The black smudges are residue soaked through from the original tar-like substance that the factory glued these decals down with. They kinda just put a blob of tar in the middle and called it good. I'm amazed it was still in place all these years being so crudely applied.
