clear glue for sticking acrylic recommendations?
Posted by Martin Cole on May 21, 2009 at 7:48 amHave a client, who would like some 6mm acrylic panels flood coated (to the back) then stuck to the wall (largest piece around 2000 x 1000) but wants no visible fixings or glue to show or to yellow after time.
Any thoughts please?
Martin

hI THERE,

I saw two sheets of clear acrylic stuck together , if it wasnt for the slight line around the middle you would have sworn it was a solid sheet, you can create plaques etc using it.
There a good bunch of people.

Hi Cameron, I saw that at the show but will that help stick the acrylic to a wall?

suddenly I am thinking about modifying a glass sucker to fix handle bit to wall and sucker facing the public… hmmm i dont know… maybe mad idea.

Sorry George , didnt read it properly.
Ill stick to giving help on vinyl in future !!

suddenly i am confused! :lol1:
seriously though, i know what you mean Dave but i don’t think that would be practical or cheap to do.

I think I was thinking along the same lies as Cameron……If you were to sandwich the flood coated image/colour between two sheets you could then just tensol some stand off locators to the back and they wouldn’t be seen
assuming it doesn’t have to be flat against the wall that is 😕

bordering on a mad idea Dave, but interesting concept 🙄
Thanks Cameron, it may well work on walls..just ignore George at least your idea was better than sky hooks. 😀
Customer didn’t mention what the walls are made of, all I know is they are to go in the WC’s and the largest being 800 x 750 I am now lead to believe
Thanks.

The v cleats.
If you want them to be permanent you can put glue on the back of the cleats when you install.

Martinos knowing what the walls are made off will be helpfull as i have a cunning plan 😉

martin i think i remember us all discussing something like this with andrew boyle a couple of months ago mate. cant find the thread to see the outcome of it. 😕

if these are in WC’s, then u dont want the acyrlic falling down and cutting ur **** off!
anyway…
how about a 2mtr fold at the bottom of the bottom sheet with a couple of keyholes, same with the top i guess.
Now thinking about gluing a hanging strip on the back of it and couple of screws at the top to force it down, top being the wall where it is not visible.

Hey Dave,
The article I linked to is basically the same thing.

Thanks for the replies
Can’t get hold of guy to see what walls are made of, which seems an obvious question to ask 😳
