Better yet, just use a Nak that actually lifts the felt pad altogether.
Tapes actually play better with less noise and better tape to head contact
without the felt pad. The caveat is that the deck needs to be built for the
purpose of lifting the pad (almost all Naks). Regular decks need it for
contact with the head.
If you do decide to glue it back, crazy glue will work, but my personal
favorite is the liquid UHU. Takes about 20 minutes to dry.
