If the surface area is small, your best bet is going to be an epoxy; 
nothing else will hold well enough.

If it's a broad area, 3M makes a super tacky adhesive called Super 
77.  You spray it on both sides, allow it to set, then press them 
together.  I believe many photo and arts/crafts stores carry it.  You 
might be able to find a small can...

The dual-sided approach yields the highest strength.  Make sure you 
follow the directions, and that the surfaces are clean of everything, 
including the old adhesive.

Hope this helps!
