Lazy man's dibond sign installation?

[mangsigns]

Hey people...I gotta install a few 12" x 18" dibond signs about 8 feet up....Anyone got any secret install methods that don't involve drilling into the wall? Possibly shoe goo or something that dries fast? Lemme know..thanks peeps.

lick the back and just slap it up there

Depends what surface you are going to. Maybe VHB tape.

If it was me I would use mechanical anchors. Less chance of getting sued.

3 or 4 vertical strips of VHB tape ... and it will be there until the building falls down.

bubble gum, a shoe lace, and a paper clip should do the job just fine

Just slap a few pair of your dirty underwear and sling them against the wall if you're not going to do a professional job. Jesus where do you people come from?

done & done

thanks people... signs installed just fine with VHB and shoe goo.

In the future though for exterior signs on stucco, and when VHB won't stick to the rough or textured surfaces, what would you use?

thanks for the input.

I have yet to find a rough surface that VHB won't stick to long enough for the silicone to set up. If by chance you do run into that problem though, carry some fast dry epoxy with you and use it in place of silicone.
