    one tip with it though

    you must stick it right first time, it looses adhesion if you pull it off and refit it

    boy its late
    anyone else drinking?

    If the letters are wide enough use silicone sealant (same that you would use in your bathroom) as well as the tape, fantastic! Five years ago I stuck a 8ft x 1ft perspex plaque (with perspex lettering attached) to a granite shop fascia. I used lots of tape but also used the silicone, not moved, in fact I pity the poor sod that has to remove this sign!!

    (though it will probably be me in later years and I will curse myself) :lol1:
