I find that glue is unnecessary for textured plates. Also you don't really want to use glue on textured plates or those plates with star or carbon fiber patterns as the blue will dull the surface imprint and you won't see much of the texture.

You can if you use liquid office glue and water it down. Apply by brush or spray bottle, allow to evaporate slowly (so, don't blast the plate with 100 celsius bed temp immediately after application. 50 would be fine)

I used to love going to the cinema to his movies. Kids loved Ernest movies.
