I think its vynal. I have an arcade machine where the side plastic/vynal/wallpaper stuff that is peeling off.
What glue should I use to paste it back down?
Any incite would be great!
Thanks!

If it's just a small corner used super glue. Just a little too much and you'll get your fingers stick to the cabinet or get white residue on your vinyl. If you do get dried glue on the vinyl. Get a paint pen from Walmart. Carefully, paint over the white and then once it's almost dry wipe it away with a dry rag.
For larger sections use 3m spray glue. Spray both sides, wait for it to get tacky and press it back into place. Press really had (I use a plastic roller made for applying wood veneer, but your palms work work too--they should be a little sore by the time you are done).
Just don't use the cheap Walmart generic stuff: it does not stick nearly as well!

Quick question speaking of Vinyl and spray adhesive.... Can you use that on your vinal side art too? I have some parts not sticking. :banghead: Or would the spray adhesive eat at the vinyl side art?

I've done that. I have never heard of it eating at the art. Most are printed from the top, so then it's not an issue. However, if it was printed from the bottom (like some control panel overlays) then I guess it could be an issue. I have done this with control panels though and never had a problem.
BUT I am not 100% sure.
You might try a small section in the corner.
