Default T shirt help needed please!

I am working on Yet Another Giant T-Shirt Quilt (king-sized, weighs a ton) and most of the shirts are in excellent shape. There is one shirt whose image is peeling up in a few places - the image feels like it was made out of latex-like material and stuck to the shirt, rather than being silk-screened on. I am wondering if there is any permanent way of sticking the little flaps that are peeling up back down. I am concerned that any solvent-based adhesive would melt the image material, and I don't have any similar material to test possible adhesives. Could I maybe use tiny bits of steam-a-seam? How hot do you need to get it to make a permanent bond? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Alison
