  6. Help in hanging a flat aluminum wall sign

    1/8" doesn't allow a lot of room to flush mount a bolt. Might be better off using cleats VHBd to the back. Or vhb and lexel direct to wall. Other option is to screw right thru the face and use some cap covers.

    Yes, unfortunately you have the wrong materials and technqiues combined with inadequate skills...The only thing I can think of that may salvage the job is to stretch the banners on a frame like you would a large canvas for a painting.

    Single face signs right? In that case and at that size .080 is fine. I like the idea of mounting the o80 first then fixing the HDU to that. You can us a construction/polyurethane adhesive and screws into the back.

    Why not VHB & adhesive the panels directly to the crossbars? You'd have a lot more surface.
