What should I use to glue stickers back on?

[Eruntalon]

I've acquired a few transformers recently which are suffering from curling stickers that are in danger of peeling off completely. The stickers in question are the foil-based kind found on G1 cassette tapes. I don't want to use super glue or any model plastics glues to try to reattach them, and I'm unsure if glues such as Poly Vinyl Acetate and weaker glues like those used in glue sticks will do the job.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Dries clear, no fogging, pointy applicator tip. This stuff is great, I got mine off ebay.

reprolabels are good too, but they don't have stickers for all TF toys.

From experience, I can tell you that a nailgun won't work.

Is this just like a hobby glue you would use for plastic models or is it different? I don't want to damage any plastic.

I'd say it's like Uhu but clear and doesn't yellow. Doesn't affect the plastic or painted parts as far as I know. I use it for gluing clear or painted bits for my models at the very end. It's also stronger than PVA and dries a little bit harder.
