Otherwise, always test your adhesive for the installation situation and use a quality silicone product. Lighter and smaller parts can be installed with a quality silicone adhesive. Heavier and larger letters and plaques should be installed with a stronger adhesive than silicone. Always match your adhesive to the mounting surface and product weight. Use a stronger industrial adhesive or epoxy along with appropriate anchors and or additional structural support when in doubt.   | **Item** | | --- | | 10 oz. silicone caulking tube (Chem-Calk 1200) | | 2.8 oz. silicone squeeze tube (GE RTV108) |   #### Clear Acrylic Strips (Rails) Used for installing plastic letters.
