i bought a few restored machines. it seems the side art is coming up in some corners. rather than trial and error, anny recomendations on what i should use to glue em down?
 
what game what art? NOS? it does make a difference.
 
Ok.. are they good repro art? silkscreened stuff? 99% of the time when it's the good quality art and it's peeling it means the cabinet surface was not prepped and cleaned properly so the adhesion is bad. You can try to add a secondary adhesive to hold it down but if the cab is bad it will just happen again.
 
Feel the edges and see if any other areas are loose, put the glue on and use a hard roller of some kind like that used in wall papering to roll out the excess glue for a smooth adhesion. Hopefully only the edges were weak. I had a cab that was likely on location where there was a lot of wax on the lower edges from the floors being waxed, that would make for a difficult adhesion, so maybe your case is similar.
