    Philip here again for some more advice!

    I’ve got an installation to do on some industrial cladding.

    I need to know the best, securest method to attach 20mm thick foamex letters that are 25" high to the cladding.

    I only want to do this job once as it’s sooooo hi up.
    I’m concerned that the standard locator system won’t be strong enough long term.

    What’s your best idea please?

    Philip

    Screw right through the face with a small spacer / pad behind, countersunk & small circles of the face colour over them…not going anywhere soon.

    And as it is sooooooooo high up – perfectly visually acceptable.
