  • how do i put a hanging strip glued onto vinyl correctly?

    Posted by James Martin on 23 April 2008 at 21:48

    Hello

    Flood coated a piece of forrex today and am going to stick a hanging strip
    on tomorrow and was wondering if the hanging strip will be ok on top of the vinyl or should I strip a bit off and make it a forrex to forrex bond.

    I got the glue from Sign trade so its the right stuff.

    tks.

    Definitely cut the vinyl away. Vinyl does come unstuck sometimes, and there goes the hanging strip 🙁 🙁

    Cut vinyl away.

    I’d also want a positive mechanical fixing, so I’d put some small countersunk screws through it as well.

    I was to late for screws that time but it was only 2000 by 50 mm high, 5 mm forex classic so not much weight on the glue.

    However, I’m building a larger affair with 5mm gloss ability board and it’s two, almost full size boards side by side, so I will definitely put a few fasteners through the hanging strip as the gloss is a fair bit heavier.

    tks.
