How do I fix these?

[heyskull]

I have a customer who is looking for flat cut acrylic letters bonded directly to a rendered wall like the picture attached.
Do you know how I would go about fixing these and with what?

The first thing you need to fix is actually attaching the picture

What is a rendered wall? Rendered usually implies a drawing, so if you're dealing in the virtual world usually no adhesive or fastener is required. You just place the letters in the layout on the virtual wall.

I don't seem to be able to see what's broken that needs fixing ??

Sight unseen, I'd suggest toothpaste and bubblegum.

Does it look anything like this?

Here is an illustrated step-by-step instruction manual, updated for 2024 to include photographs! Hopefully, the photos are enough to illustrate our installation method used on rendered walls.

also consider caulk but be very careful with your pronunciation and enunciation

Duck tape.

You guys are nuts, you NEED mechanical fasteners on something like this. Geez.

Velcro

I took down some old signs for a customer once and saw they used blue painters tape to hang them up.

With enough tape anything is possible!

Sorry but I forgot to attach it yesterday.

You need to scuff the back of the acrylic letters and then prime with 2 part auto epoxy primer its available in a spray can at automtive paint supply places, dont be using no cheap a$$ rustoleum primer!....and then silicone the letters to the front using a pattenr and hold it up there with gorilla tape,. You have got to scuff and prime acrylic because silicone will not hold without doing this. Thanks for the picture
