epoxy the emblem?

I just bought a data system grill and am trying to glue the trunk emblem to the plastic mesh. I tried using the peel-off adhesive it came with- no good. I tried extra strength krazy glue- nope. Should I just epoxy it? What has everyone else used? Thanks.

Cool

I used the heavy duty 3M double sided tape.

Pressed it into the mesh and it has been there for 2 yrs.

I did the same and I also some double sided tape to the back of the mesh too. I pressed it into the mesh and the 2 sides of tape stuck to each other without a problem.

What I did was use stiff wires from Home Depot and used epoxy to attach them to the back of the emblem. Then I slipped it through the grill (I upgraded to the www.customautomesh.com plastic mesh) and bent the wires back. Pretty sturdy and hopefully will keep people from just plucking the emblem off.
