  1. OUTDOOR Installation: Advise on attaching anodized aluminum to 3/4" PVC sheets.

    Great idea, Jill. Thanks! So, is this the proper LORDS product? http://goo.gl/E91TX Also, where do you get your BEST price for the LORDS product? I need a lot of it and would love to get the best price. Please post URL if possible. Thanks
  2. OUTDOOR Installation: Advise on attaching anodized aluminum to 3/4" PVC sheets.

    OK, this LORDS stuff sounds like MAGIC!!! (The next best invention since Duct tape ;-) ... The advantages of more adhesion surface area with square tubing is obvious (Jill mentioned ot + others, too). But, there are two issues I have with the square tubing: (1) It costs more. But, it is not...
  3. OUTDOOR Installation: Advise on attaching anodized aluminum to 3/4" PVC sheets.

    Interesting, thanks. Yes, I thought about using 3/4" (or even 1") SQUARE aluminum (just to allow for that smooth flat fit) but i did not think there was an adhesive that was strong enough to permanently adhere the aluminum anodized sheet to the aluminum bar (whether it is square or round)...
  4. OUTDOOR Installation: Advise on attaching anodized aluminum to 3/4" PVC sheets.

    Thanks. Would you recommend standard 2-part epoxy like LOCTITE? Also, I imagine the dabs of silicone would act as a flexible "stretch" aid which would allow for the expansion of the ePVC during temperature variances? if not LOCTITE, what would you recommend? I like using 10.1 oz Tube |...

    Ha! ... and speaking of Bob ... :-) I have to slightly disagree ... Not in theory but because of actual experience. I mean, sure, everything in business is relative. But, I consider a one-time $350 order to be a nice thing and $600+ order every quarter an even better thing. Last year, a...
  7. OUTDOOR Installation: Advise on attaching anodized aluminum to 3/4" PVC sheets.

    I have a project coming up soon and would like to get advise on the best way to adhere/attach clear anodized aluminum sheets to 3/4" e-PVC substrate. The project will consist of a 55"x55" and a 90"x30" section. Each will have two .040 Clear Anodized Aluminum sheets sandwiching a 3/4" e-PVC...

    If you are going to throw it away in the dump anyway, then why not? You could use your "eco-friendly" gesture to your benefit by advertising the fact (via a simple logo) that you donate your scrap to schools and individuals for the purpose of re-purposing / recycling and not increasing our...
