JB weld 2 part epoxy. Find it in the auto dept of major retailers or any auto parts store.
It's sold in a blister pack with 2 tubes, one is red and one is black. Price is around $3.50 to 5 bucks
Mix same amount of red tube with black tube (I use a pc. of junk cardboard to squeeze the JB weld out onto and use an Ink pen that dont write any more to mix it together and to apply it)
Once mixed, just apply to back of your gens and sit them on your emblem.
If the emblem is still on the car, use duct tape to hold gem on till JB weld cures. It takes a good 10 hours for JB weld to fully cure.
Once cured it will withstand anything you can put it throughWhat kind of glue should I use to adhere gems to an emblem that will be on the outside of my car?
An epoxy glue (2 part glue that requires mixing together) would be the best bet - they are heat resistant to about 300 degrees. Before you jump in and start the job, you should test it. But be careful doing that indoors, the fumes can be a problems.
epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives" or "engineering adhesives" (that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other chemistries.) These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required. Epoxy adhesives can be developed to suit almost any application. They can be used as adhesives for wood, metal, glass, stone, and some plastics. They can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/colored, fast setting or slow setting. Epoxy adhesives are better in heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives cured with heat will be more heat- and chemical-resistant than those cured at room temperature. The strength of epoxy adhesives is degraded at temperatures above 350 掳F (177 掳C).[6]
