Ceiling woods strip need to be reattached

In the bedroom, one wooden strip that covers the seam in the ceiling is loose partially. It had tiny 1" brads that had gone thru the wood and did not hold.
I tried superglue but it won't stick to the ceiling panel. I tried using masking tape to press the strip to the seam but masking tape won't stick.
I was thinking of getting some clear silicone to use as glue.

Any suggestions?

I used Gorilla Glue and some new nails/staples. Still in place after 3 seasons

I had the same issue on our first trip with the slat across the "headboard" of the bed -- the center bowed out. When I got home, I used contact cement. Wasn't happy about the quality of application, since it was brush-on and I had to finagle the brush between the two surfaces, which didn't allow for much actual use of the brush. Next trip will tell if it is good enough to hold. If I had to do it over again, I think I would try Liquid Nails instead, even though I would have to hold it longer until it set.

Buy a $15 pneumatic stapler at Harbor Freight and pop some staples into the trim.

That was my first inclination, but I feared the staples would be glaringly obvious, and the brads would just fail the same as the originals. I'm also pretty squeamish about skewering walls when I'm not sure how thick they may be or what may be behind them. But it may come to that.

What about some construction adhesive? That stuff sticks like s*it to bunny fur. It might not be so great if you ever have to take the strips off in the future though.

If worried about staples standing out get a white putty stick to cover.
I have on board air and carry stapler and brad driver with me.
