In my League (MWEFL - Chicago, IL and Gary, IN) I strongly advocate the exclusive use of kids' glue stick to adhere figure to base. It adds minimal weight, it dries quickly, it can be reconstituted with a lil spittle if it comes apart or if ya need to flip the player backwards for trick plays i.e. WR Bubble Screens.

I've seen other glues in use and just don't think it looks good.

• Elmer's glue takes forever to dry and oozes out of the cracks and creates sticky edges (see below). Plus, when it finally does dry, it cracks off and accumulates in the hard to clean areas of your board!!! If you do have an "injury" then you gotta scrape off the old and apply new glue and wait forever again!!!
• Hot glue adds considerable weight and also becomes tacky, so the edges will tend to stick to each other and will clearly be used to help an OL "stick" together in their flying wedge. Thru thick and thin, that OL really sticks together!!! :rolleyes:
• Spray tack, for obvious reasons, shouldn't be used. Can you say, "Stick 'em?" I knew that you could.

So, IMHO, kids' glue stick (I use the purple/invisible one) is the least offensive (works on your defensive players too! ) glue out there. An added bonus is that it CAN be easily removed by rubbing the bottom of the figure on a wet cloth!
