How to make decals stick?

My radiator shroud decals are beginning to peel away in some areas.

I want to apply more adhesive with a small brush to the 'pulled away' areas, but I'm not sure which adhesive to use.

What is the best adhesive for decals?

My expierience hasn't been too great. I usually have made a mess and been more dis-satisfied with the results than if I had left them alone. I have had decent success with removing them VERY, VERY slowly taking extreme care not to stretch the graphics. The clean the area where they are to be re-applied very thouroughly and then spraying the area to be re-applied with 3M spray adhesive. Bonus to buying the spray adhesive is that is also works well for me as a grip glue too.

Good luck if you decide to try, I have had limited decent success with re-applying them. Maybe someone with better success or ideas will chime in soon.
