Adhesives
We have tested and approved Chem-Calc 1200 or GE RTV108 squeeze tubes or clear silicone for installing lighter and smaller letters that are mounted with studs and/or pads. 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.
