dont use ANY type of glue or resin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if there is a sign manufacturer near you go and ask them for some double sided tape,they'll know what it is. then cut it into thin strips and stick them along the edge of the arch kit,then take care to line it up properly cos once it makes contact it doesnt come off very easily.
if you want any more info please pm me. i've done it this way several times and it is the best way. believe

DOUBLE SIDED WILL COME OFF IN WARM WEATHER,THE BEST STUFF TO USE IS SIKAFLEX OR WINDOW SCREEN BONDER,CAN BE MESSY,JUST HAVE SOME PANEL WIPE HANDY AND YOU CAN WIPE ANY EXCESS OF STRAIGHT AWAY(DONT USE THINNERS)IT,LL TAKE THE PAINT OFF.
