Default Hanging a sign


"SparkyGuy" wrote in message

The boss wants a sign hung above the front door.

He had a sign made at a sign shop -- 3 ft. x 6 ft. -- made from 3/8 inch
poly-something pliable plastic with vinyl (I think) lettering. In any
case,
it's guaranteed for outdoor duty.

My question is regarding mounting. The simplest technique would be to
simply
locate and level the sign and put Liquid Nails on the wall (tilt-up
concrete
building with stucco texture) and slap on the sign and secure it while the
LN
sets.

Any suggestions, observations, constructive criticism?

Thanks,
Sparky


First question is: Do you care if it falls down?

If that is an issue, I would mount it with screws, bolts with standoffs, or
some other mechanical means.

Being exterior, the heat, wind, sun, cold, freeze and thaw cycles, and
Murphy's law make it questionable.

That's a heavy piece of signage that could hurt someone. Do it right,
because if it falls down, you got legal problems, son.

Just MHO. Do it once, do it right.
