what adhesive is best to glue dibond & foamex together?
Posted by Darryl Seager on 3 May 2005 at 08:06Can anyone recommend an adhesive that could be used to bond Dibond to Foamex, so as to make a rigid lightweight board? This would ultimately be used as a suspended swing sign.

We use Tesa double sided tape for exactly for that application

Gorilla Glue.
Just be careful to use sparingly and smooth it out well cuz it GROWS,
but man does it hold.

I’d use a double sided tape. We have a 4 foot and 2 foot width roll that we use for laminated aluminum and acrylic and just about anything else.

Am I losing the plot here????
Surly just the Dibond would suffice unless you can clarify your reason to marry the two substrates together????? (?) (?) (?)

Mike,
I would think that the dibond is the substrata and the foamex, is for mounted letters, Problem is, swing signs actually need to be heavy, otherwise they blow around to much.

Almost got it Peter, it was a case of incorporating the foamex to add some ‘weight’.
to overcome the inherent problems, i had a blank fabricated from GRP and used that.
