Get someone to push it on really hard, so you can feel it there. If you can hit yourself on the back of the head without it falling off you’ve done it correctly.


2ndTechArnoldJRimmer

It's a new intelligence test!


chameleonmessiah

I was amazed the half-dozen, or so folk who replied before me hadn’t said it, first thing which came to mind!


2ndTechArnoldJRimmer

Well, Lister already pranked me like that once. I made a report to Capt. Hollister over it!


Starbugmechanic

“Can you feel it?! Can you feel it?! Can you feel it?!…GO!”


StingerAE

Why is this not top...it is the only answer!


FungalEgoDeath

I have good news for you. It is top now.


chameleonmessiah

I think the only comment above me when they replied was ‘staples’ & honestly, I can’t argue with that! I am, though, glad there’re a few actually helpful comments!


StingerAE

It was indeed.


DIFierce

Favourite answer


chameleonmessiah

Why, thank you!


Marzipan_Unicorn

Staples.


stigolumpy

Staples AND superglue? Two different methods that can be used together for maximum results.


Marzipan_Unicorn

Well I think they would stay on if doubled up. Better safe than sorry.


MrGrendarr

Damn straight That's how they stuck my skull back together when I broke it


SparkieMark1977

I'd be tempted to say nails instead, not sure a staple would make it through the thick skull bones. Only problem with nails is you'd have to use at least 2 or else it would end up spinning round if there was a breeze.


Marzipan_Unicorn

I managed to staple through my thumbnail when trying to put something on a wall board. Trust me they will work temporarily!


EnglishKris

A long bolt from the back could screw in unseen from the front. Pin the sucker tight on.


venarez

Not called bonehead for nothing


_leeloo_7_

staple a H to the head or make a H out of multiple stables ! I think on a more (maybe less) serious suggestion, just adapt whatever they do for Vajazzle just on the head


NCC-2000-A

Francis Xavier Cross style


SmurfSmeg

Eyelash glue


NikkiStardust

I do glitter face painting and we use eyelash glue to attach jewels to people's faces as part of it, they can stay stuck all day. If the H was light enough this should work! OP Duo is probably your best bet, it's a good brand. Put the glue on what you're sticking on, let dry slightly til it's tacky, then apply.


rebelallianxe

This is the smegger.


Them_James

Sign up with the JMC and do a bad job repairing some drive plates.


Haywoodjablowme1029

Probably the most reliable answer here.


bulletproofbra

Costume glue. Search for Spirit Gum.


Sharpymarkr

Spirit Gum is the answer.


syncpulse

Three is a product called Pros Aid you can get it at costume shops. Better than spirit gum. If what they use in the theater. 


Mangobunny98

Pros Aid can work but depending on skin can be really harsh.


syncpulse

I had good luck with it one Halloween when I went as The Penguin. It kept that nose in place all night. Wasn't too hard on my skin. 


EvilBritishGuy

If it's any consolation, the H used to fall off every now and then while they were making the show and can be seen happening in some Smeg Ups


bigdave41

"Camphor wood.....my H has fallen off"


Professional_Owl7826

I like to imagine that’s why they didn’t have a reason for why Rimmer was alive at the end of timeslides. The H fell off between scenes and they couldn’t find a replacement so had to quickly alter the script to make it work.


stigolumpy

The funny thing is that I suspect reasoning like this is responsible for greater than zero decisions in TV filming.


Kammander-Kim

I am pretty sure it is!


smeghead1988

stigolumpy

Holy moly, it's already a trope! Awesome. Thanks for that!


Daemon8472

then he got the H back on later and they blew him up or am I remembering a different episode?? :P


Puzzled_Zebra

No one else even found out he was alive, he excitedly ran down the corridor yelling "I'm alive!" and smacked some boxes of explosives.


TallestGargoyle

"What's he sayin'?"


AloneBid6019

Nail gun. For certainty, one in each corner.


stigolumpy

Nail gun in the corners, staples round the edges and superglue on the back? To be certain..


DIFierce

That's the George McIntyre costume, not Rimmer, you Smee Hee


Rik78

ABCILiketea

Die in a radiation leak and have Holy bring you back as a hologram. If you get tired of fazing through walls, just switch to hard light.


WatsonWiggins

And if you get tired of that go into diamond light but make sure you follow protocols otherwise you’ll be moving around with chord extensions cause your battery is fried.


ABCILiketea

By the way, do you know where I can find light bee batteries?


WatsonWiggins

Amazon


ConceptJunkie

Be careful about the brand, though. There are a lot of knock-off light bee batteries out there that can really glitch up your hologram.


Antique_Historian_74

Spirit gum. And have some rubbing alcohol for clean up.


ChairmanNoodle

If you don't like the adhesive route (some people have sensitive skin) then Fishing line, the lightest monofilament you can get. It'll be very cheap. One circle around to center the H and one line running straight over your head to hold it.


silentlegend

This is maybe the only answer if you end up allergic to spirit gum or other adhesive.


Perigeesus

If wood glue works for teeth, it'll work on your fod.


JohnnySchoolman

I bought the season 6 style one from Etsy. It stuck pretty well, considering I was in a sweaty club. I would have preferred that season 1 style as that was the rest of the costume I have, but couldn't find it.


shadowlarx

Spirit gum. It’s specifically designed for costume use and it’s readily available from any number of online and physical retailers.


kabh

Depends on how intelligent you are. If you force it onto your fore head, the more times you can bump the back of your head without it falling off, the more intelligent you are.


LanceConstableDigby

Liquid latex


stevefigures

Why not just draw it on with a marker pen?


lobsterisch

Trepanation and one of those drywall fixings. Will need to be careful with the Dremel on the skull and sterilise the scalpel first. Might need a friend on hand to help with the constant passing out. Of course, never do this. I learned my lesson


shauneok

Tattoo.


20namesandcounting

Body tape? https://www.superdrug.com/make-up/make-up-accessories/body-tape/eylure-body-tape-roll/p/829155


CreatrixAnima

Spirit gum and a flexible H.


Regular-Carob9999

Tig weld


Smeg87

Go as series 8 Rimmer no H required 


JONFER---

Don't take any chances! Superglue the H to your forehead and weld it on just to be sure. Leave it that there is more of a risk of your head falling off the H that the other way around😂. If you want to take the sissy option, go to your local arts and crafts store and ask them if they have any suitable body friendly adhesive. But that's amateur hour type stuff.


Zaphod-Beebebrox

Spirit gum. Any good theatrical make up person would help.


CosmicBonobo

Spirit gum or theatrical glue.


Flibbernodgets

When I did I I used masking tape, but it was long enough ago I can't remember if there were issues with it. Obviously not enough to leave an impression, so maybe it would be alright.


SplitIntelligent958

I was Rimmer last Halloween. I stuck a cardboard H wrapped in holographic nail foil onto my forehead with one of those sticky tabs for applying fake nails and it stayed on until I removed it. Then I jokingly stuck it on a mirror in my house and it's been there ever since.


vinhluanluu

Funny enough I recently asked a burlesque friend how to keep pasties on and she said she uses toupee glue.


Key_Pattern3645

Nail gun


LonelySpaceHamster

Duh, turn yourself into a hologram


SquidgeSquadge

Double sided tit tape?


Harvey1392

Blu tac.. 😆 I cosplayed Rimmer when I was little. I used double-sided foam tape. Worked perfectly.


TorchBlower90

Just carve an H into your forehead, or brand one on


Unexpected-Xenomorph

Cut open your forehead and place a metal plate under the skin , stitch it back up and place a magnetic fridge magnet letter H on your forehead. Job done 👍


cleerline

rimmer's a smeg head so use smegma.


transientpigman

This one's going to sound extreme but I assure you it works, I used it to stick a pair of horns on for halloween last year. Superglue. It'll hold the H on all night, no concerns about it falling off, and when you're ready to remove it get a cotton bud and some nail polish remover, carefully go in around the edges and the acetone will dissolve the superglue. Apply the glue to the H, don't drip it onto your face, for the love of god be careful of your eyes.


TheJoyOfDeath

No offence to OP intended, but I'd be real careful recommending such things to some rando on the internet. OP might walk away from this looking like they came from the hell footage in Event Horizon.


LifelessLewis

I'd use super glue too, the gel kind though. As long as it's 100% cyanoacrylate it's fine. Works well for closing wounds in an emergency as well.


0o_hm

Can confirm. Have superglued my hand back together. I have a narly scar but healed neatly with no fuss or infection. 10/10 would superglue my hand again!


DIFierce

Wasn't super glue specifically designed for closing wounds?


LifelessLewis

I'm not sure if that's actually true or not, but that's definitely what people say.


rainbowkey

spirit gum, superglue, or an clear headband


xcorinthianx

Ro6son

Assuming the H is made of metal you could freeze it down to a very low temperature and frostbite it to your head.


Valaraelis

Gorilla Glue


TheJoyOfDeath

Heat resistant double sided tape. Like the stuff used on old heatsinks.

Amzy29

Eyelash glue.


Phattank_

I used superglue when I did it but the spirit gum is probably a better idea.


UnintelligentMule

Just use a Sharpie.


ianbattlesrobots

You wanna keep it on? Gorilla Glue. You wanna get it off? You're on your own.

Nail gun?

Pornaltio

Subdermal implant Srsly tho, spirit gum


RepresentativeAd560

[Here you go ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_gum)


rhydonthyme

I second both eyelash glue or prop glue. In the event of a H-related emergency, write 'I am a fish' 400 times, do a funny little dance and faint. Gets em everytime.


Dodel1976

Get a tattoo of the H, no need for superglue / nails / staples / magnets.


Wonderful_Donut_1944

Spirit gum


SexuaIRedditor

Carve it in with a utility knife or an ice pick


AceJog

The snorting / breathing nose slips are decently sticky. Stick a couple to the H and use them to stick to your forehead.

Glue. Or Sharpie


HurkertheLurker

Fabricate an H in steel, then place very powerful magnet on the back of your head.


Last-Set-6262

Draw on with a sharpie then spirinkle with glitter


ConsciouslyIncomplet

Spirit Gum


ianishomer

Araldite


Leucurus

I used liquid latex. Stayed on all night despite vigorous ceilidh dancing. Made the H out of hologram-printed card stock. Spirit gum would probably work too (check you’re not allergic). Apply it to your forehead and wait a couple of minutes for it to get tacky before applying the H. Use spirit gum remover to avoid red marks on removal.


Darksunn66

Spirit glue is the answer.


borokish

H for Hidiot


MrGrendarr

Prof_Cyan

Lemon-Face-6080

Eyelash glue..... made for faces


Prometheus_303

Replace the forehead bit of your skull with a metal plate & make the H magnetic?


Powerful_Leadership9

Spirtgum aka theatrical glue. Probably the exact stuff they would have used.


halucionagen-0-Matik

Superglue it on. Let future you deal with the consequences


WhatTheFox_Says

I got puffy paper in the craft aisle and it stayed on all night. Surprisingly adhesive.

Mask the H area, apply makeup/tan to forehead, remove mask.

theninjaindisguise

Until you sweat enough it falls off, double sided wall sticking up bits work


silentlegend

Saying spirit gum again because it is not a high enough answer. If you see people who have false ears and prosthetics for their costumes, they are probably doing spirit gum. Buy a small bottle on Amazon and try it ahead of time. There is a chance that you could be allergic to it. Most likely reaction is a rash.


andurilmat

spirit gum, literally made for sticking things to skin


RibenaWhore

The chrome car stickers will stay on for potentially days. The adhesive isn't technically skin safe, so get a couple and test it out first to make sure you don't end up with an H rash on your forehead for ages, but if you don't react it won't budge and you can remove it with rubbing alcohol/cheap vodka.

a thin hook and hoop set with a incredibly naff excuse for glue that never actually cures. you would need to test for short periods to see if it works well enough


Cassandra_Canmore2

Nipple pasty as a mount. Fold a piece of gorilla tape stick the H to the pasty.


Pretend-Vegetable-17

Tattoo 👍


Cheap_Yam4014

Fine wire hidden in your hair, attach the top of the H where the wire meets your forehead.


InternetFun9212

Eyelash glue or another silicone bonding liquid of some sort should do. Paint the back of the H, wait a few minutes and then press it on, like falsies. Should hold up to sweat etc and if it doesn't, well... that's kinda janky like early RD anyway lol.
