I've done multiple sets like these. They're acrylic letters with smaller acrylic pieces cut for the 'spacers'. Easy enough to do. Tape-mount just like any other set of letters. The green and yellow pieces in your pic appear to be back sprayed. Not sure what your question is other than if it's...

If they want it to last that long, maybe just use painted polycarbonate and tape-mount it?

Was it dropped?

There are obviously other factors, but the general rule of thumb for proper support is the hole diameter should be 3 times the pole/post/tube diameter (2" tube = 6" diameter hole) and the length of tube below ground should be equal to 1/3 of the length above ground. That being said, if you're...

Ok, there's a line and you crossed it, mister. Old Gran-Dad may be bottom shelf but it's excellent for the price and favorably regarded among those in the know. OGD Bonded and 114 even more so. Now go sit in the corner and you think long and hard about what you've said. When you come...

I've installed lots of letters with the Orafol tape. It's good stuff.

You don't need it but it's not going to hurt, so you might as well. Just make sure they're small enough so they don't ooze out.

The tape is more than sufficient. The acrylic isn't too heavy. No silicone needed. These tapes are generally rated for around 20 pounds per square inch of sheer weight. Just press really hard to form a good bond. They'll be fine. No masking tape needed. Press and go.

Glad it worked out. The awl is the best thing to use for that. I shouldn't have said "rubbings" in my other post. Kind of a default, blanket term. For future reference, when you DO do rubbings, use a red construction/lumber crayon. They're fast due to their size and you won't get lead all...

Yeah, if you need a pattern then create one off the existing holes. An awl actually works better. A rubbing doesn't always pick up all of the holes. Tape your pattern paper over the holes and punch through the paper into each hole with the awl. I'll usually put the outermost letters back and...

Had a 4 year old and her grandparents over this weekend. Took a pic of the 4 year old putting a puzzle together. She wanted to see the picture so I handed her my phone. In less than 10 seconds, she had zoomed in, scrolled around, added it to my Favorites (I have nothing in my Favorites) and...

It's the best way. I've used piano wire, guitar string, kevlar string, etc. The three putty knives are what I've settled on. For any situation, one of them will work. Hopefully you got a rubbing of the existing holes after you removed the letters to use as a pattern. If being reinstalled, once...

Constant need or one off?

I remove a crap ton of letters. I only use putty knives. I've tried a bunch of other methods and putty knives work the best.

If it's painted drywall, the wall is going to need patch and paint regardless. If they're stud-mounted, it's going to leave holes. If they're tape-mounted, it's going to pull paint and likely some of the drywall facing. It's extremely rare that tape-mounted letters are just going to come off and...

Devil's Advocate: So the argument is that the second panel "stretched" and didn't line up with the first panel because the second panel stretched. Why did the second panel stretch more than the first panel...? If they're both unlaminated and installed in the same manner, wouldn't they both...

The same stencil cut pattern was used for both sets.

A couple of examples... This had 2nd surface privacy vinyl so the tape etc would have still been visible. So vinyl was installed first then the letters on the vinyl. These aluminum letters were tape mounted then reversed letters were installed on the inside to help cover up the backs.

I've installed a number of these on high end offices and it looks really nice. A bit higher end than paint or vinyl. This is exactly how it's done. Vinyl is cut to the same exact shape as the numbers, letters or logo and applied to the glass. The dimensional letters etc are then installed with...
