    Hi all.
    I have a 3050mm x 600mm sign to hang, (my own shop one)
    Its not a tray but just the sheet with rounded corners and I want it to stand off the wall about 25 to 30mm
    I would like if possible to have no visible fixings, showing on the face of it,
    Im sure it can be done, but with it not being a tray to fit onto a frame, whats the best way to go about it? I heard of bighead fasteners mentioned here, are they suitable, if so which ones?
    I could glue a frame on the back, as it wont be mega heavy, but I just wondered if any of you have a miracle solution that is proven.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would just use vhb tape to attach 30mm ally angles to the rear, about 150mm inches from the top and bottom edge and 30mm shorter than the panel

    Then fixed to short lengths of angle fixed to the wall using self tappers

    Really?
    I have to admit I havent used VHB tape to attach anything like that before, always screwed it. If thats the way to go consider it done.
    Nice one Peter,
