Default What type of adhesive for used SS emblems?

I'm doing an SS clone, and picked up a nice set of used OEM SS emblems. Since they were used, they don't have the adhesive backing. My question is what can I use to get them on my car? I'm sure theres some sort of 3M product, but which one? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Its called 3m trim adhesive. But make sure that you get the tube of liquid, don't use the double sided tape. The double sided tape is like 1/8" thick and spaces the emblem off of the car. Looks incredibly tacky

I read that the stuff in the tube is pretty bad on your paint. It's called Plastic Emblem & Trim Adhesive. Use double sided heavy duty 3M tape. I just did all my SS emblems on Friday.

3M Emblem tape from Walmart, Autozone, etc. I tried the glue years ago with no luck. No problems with the tape.

The tube of glue sucks. What a way to make a mess!

Go to any autobody store and they will have the 3M emblem adhesive sheets. The emblem will be flush with the panel and it is clear.
