Adhesives and tapes hold the trade together, from applying cut vinyl lettering to fixing built-up letters and panels to a wall. The main types are:
Application tapes for lifting and transferring cut vinyl graphics and lettering.
Double-sided and foam tapes for fixing letters, panels and displays without drilling.
Structural adhesives and sealants for sign building and bonding metal, acrylic and composite.
Spray and specialist adhesives for mounting, fabric and short-term displays.
Choosing the right product starts with the surfaces involved, as plastics, powder-coated metal and painted walls all behave differently. Consider whether the job is indoors or out, the temperatures it will face, the weight it must hold and whether the fixing needs to be permanent or removable. If in doubt, test adhesion before the job goes on site.
