  • Letters with stand offs

    Posted by Phil Green on 19 April 2013 at 16:04

    I have a job where I am going to machine some dibond and was thinking about having the letter stand off the wall

    The building is approx 26m tall, I have never fixed brass locators to the backs of dibond before, just wanted to know a method and which is the best glue to use.
    The letters are approx 1.2 metres tall
    Cheers

    Hi Martin, since this I have had other ideas,,,,might go for Ali and rivet thru front face to building,,,,,not really sure what the customer wants at the moment

    Lets be careful out there, Martin has a point

    If letters are 26M from ground no one will see that they are on standoffs, mount letters direct to wall using threaded rod and chemical fix if stone or self tappers if steel or tech screws if cladding
