Pad
Mount Pad
Mount Installation Instructions
Clear plastic pads - perforated plastic disks
- are glued into the backs of each letter.
You would apply clear silicone adhesive
to the pad, and affix to the wall. We
recommend taping the letter up (6-12 hours)
until the silicone has a chance to dry. Spacing
Tape will be provided to help position the letters
in line. An installation pattern is not required.
Ideal for indoors, or outdoors if drilling is
not possible. Please note that silicone adhesive
may damage the surface if you ever remove the
letters.
Semi-Adjustable
Combination Mount Stud
Mount Installation Instructions
A combination mount differs from a stud mount
in that the upper portion of the letter has
studs and adjustable pads that can be screwed
up or down the stud shaft based on the required
depth. The bottom portion of the letter
will has non-adjustable pad mounts. This method
is ideal for uneven surfaces. An installation
pattern will be required to ensure proper stud
placement.
Fully-Adjustable
Combination Mount Stud
Mount Installation Instructions
The difference between the Fully-Adjustable
Combination Mount and Semi-Adjustable Combination
Mount is that ALL studs have a pad that can
be screwed up or down the stud shaft. This allows
for full adjustability over all mounting points
This is ideal for installations on corrugated
tin, curved surfaces and other types of uneven
surfaces. This method also provides the capability
to stand off the letters from your mounting
surface. An installation pattern will
be required to ensure proper stud placement.
Wire

into plastic blocks glued to the inside of the

projection flared outward from the back of the

to allow for a screw mount from the back. The
