Applying vinyl lettering to stone, advice please?

[Pane Talev]

Interesting question. I’ve done floor graphics “Shoe shapes” stickers in the past and stuck them to pavement slabs outside my shop. They lasted for few months before council cleaners removed them. So my guess will be brick wall vinyl or floor vinyl. But not sure of durability.

Could it not be done out of 3mm black forex with 3M tape on the back ? – just a suggestion

If you’ve a printer and cutter a material called roughmark should do that nicely. It’s designed to stick to some of the worst surfaces imaginable. Just done 5 walls made from big croncete blocks!

Iain, what is the 3m tape called? Would it be strong enough to hold letters long term?

[Iain Pearson]

I’ll have to hunt for the product number, but it’s the grey VHB with a paint on activator- it will be more that sufficient, we stuck up a truck load of dibond panels in the dug outs at Reading FC and also in the stand

if you are going the Black Fomex flat cut letters route, another good foam stick tape is Oracal’s Orabond® 1812TM Double-Sided Tape.

There are lots of high-grab tapes on the market these days but it’s best checking the spec to see how they perform against certain surfaces "long term". Same applies with the masonry vinyls / wall wraps etc.
