Applying a Sticker

Hello, i'm building a rod and the guy brought over a USC sticker. I've put stickers and labels on rods before but they weren't as thick as this one.....
My question is....Can I tack the corners of the sticker down with super glue before I coat over it???? Just to hold it in place?.......Has anyone ever tried this before or do I need to do a tester to see if it will work.....Thanks in advance for any suggestions.......Warren

The process that somebody here outline for those stubborn stickers was to put it on and then wrap over it tightly with thread. Leave it in place for a day or two then remove the thread and seal and finish over the sticker. The tension of the thread for a day or two makes the sticker stay "stuck" and conform to the blank.

I apply my stickers between 3 and 4 hours after my first coat of finish. (LS2000, 90 degree F drying box) At that point the finish is quite firm but still has some tack to it. A light burnish is all that is required and the sticker is down forever. Haven't had a sticker curl since I started doing it that way.

If all else fails super glue will work, use a toothpick to apply very small drop to spots that curl.
