    Posted by Kate and Danny on 12 March 2007 at 11:11

    Hi,

    I’m making a small sign for a church cafe.
    I am only using 3mm dibond or 3or5mm foamboard.

    I want it to ‘hang’ like a picture, so that it can be easily removed ( by nuns ! ) and hung back up on picture hooks or nails rather than being screwed to the wall.

    Any suggestions on what the setup on the back of the sign itself should be.

    Thanks

    Danny

    Look at SMP’s site, they do keyhole fixings.

    how about a bit of slim channel on the wall and a corresponding piece on the back of the sign up the other way fixed with VHB easily hook off and onable (proper word honest)

    SMPs Keyhole fixings work well, ive uesd them for all sorts of things.

    John I think you have it the wrong way round, surely it should be hook on and offable :lol1:

    I reckon the nuns should use the same method used to attach Jesus to the cross. i.e three nails – one nail at either side and one at the feet 😕 😳

    While you are hailing mary

    the punch line was

    Would you mind crossing your feet, I’ve only got 3 nails

    Why not just mount it in a picture frame?
