We used it about a month ago to set some threaded rod in concrete for a very heavy BMW monument sign, not a situation like you're describing. So I can't tell you if it's going to work for you, unless you're stud mounting. If you are, this is the stuff to use for a very permanent installation. Here's what I learned about it. It sets hard as a rock in about an hour. It was a cold day the day we used it and we ended up cutting the ends off the tubes, dishing out the two parts and mixing by hand. We had 8 - 1" holes we had to fill and it would've taken all day just to fill the holes using the gun. The stuff came with the signs, so we may have just gotten bad tubes.

Yeah! Stud mount but some one has been using a bolt cutters to get the brass off the wall :nonono2: . The wall is curved brick so the letters will never be flush against the wall. Others have used liquid nail & silicone but the letters just come off the wall with greatest of ease. I want these things stuck on there until they take the wall down! :jackhammer:

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
