Need Help Adhering Acrylic Letters To Backing Board

[mac_man_luke]

Hello all

We have come slowly into the sign industry from a digital printing background.
Mostly vinyl / comp panel signage

But we are in the process of doing our first 3D lettered sign.

We have Acrylic lettering that we had laser cut and have now painted
and an unpainted acrylic backing board that we need to attach these letters to.

The larger letters are about 200mm tall, smaller ones about 50mm tall.

My thoughts have been to use 3m VHB of some variety but will be a little tricky on the smaller letters as they are skinnier than the tape.

Any suggestions?

thanks
Luke

We use VHB tape for adhering dimensional letters. Just make sure you apply force to application and allow the right cure time.
Or TESA Tape - both adhere well.

Any suggestions for VHB variety?

3M 4926 VHB Double-Sided Foam Tape is what we use. - And dimensional logos are what we do.

thanks!

My supplier recommended VHB 9088 but does not have 4926, anyone tried that?

3M VHB 4941 / cut down strips to fit on backs of letters.

I use 3M adhesive transfer tape 468MP, its 5mil thick and no foam, easily trimmed to letter edges. its just adhesive, works great.  3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 468MP Clear, 5 mil, Custom Sizes Available

ANY VHB family tape should be fine. just make sure you look at the specs sheet for the tape. So you know the exact curing time etc
