    does anyone know if you can get grouting rods similar to the attached jpg?….

    the larger one would be similar to standard nylon locator but you could just grout in…..with a small dot on top for template….leaving a much smaller off-set than locators…does anything exist?

    The smaller one
    a squeeze type ……used previously with a sign [supply only from America]…….does anyone know where to get them?

    Cheers

    Andrew 😀

    Thanks Simon,Nik

    used the Bighead stuff before…..

    was just thinking/hoping someone might do one a little easier to use, with similar proportions to a standard locator that was also designed to mark a paper template

    no asking much!

    Andrew 🙂

    SMP do a 2-part grouting locator [but it’s still 2 part – not just ribbed rod with flat base]

    I have used s/steel nails bonded to the back of small perspex letters with arodite and grouted them into a bare brick wall.
    The sign is still standing 4 years on, or you could use threaded brass rod 4ba i think it is, same stuff used for neon supports; drilled & tapped the letters screw in the rod, bit long winded through
