    Morning all,

    I am doing job for a company where i am required to attach acrylic to wood, i have tried to find coloured caps to suit but cant find the right colour.

    Mirror dome screws and make a feature out of them.

    Can you make some caps from some of the wood somehow?

    Not quite sure how you are fixing this, but you can countersink the srews and then cover the heads in small discs of cut vinyl of the same colour as the acrylic.

    Use a panatrim type aluminium extrusion

    It would help if you told us how big the sign is. 🙄

    There are a few different ways that it can be done but a bit more info would help to sort out the best way Ben.

    Another option depending on size and access would be something like Bighead fasteners bonded to the back so you didn’t see any fixings from the front.
