Q: Filling removed pin mounted holes + apply vinyl "dots" over holes after

DisplayWorks S&G

Hello,
I am looking for advice regarding filling holes from removed pin mounted letters. I was hoping to conceal the holes as much as possible by covering them with a colour matched silver cast vinyl to match the ACM cladding.

My only concern is what type of hole filler would be best for this. I am hoping to complete this job in one day so I need something fast drying and wont effect the vinyl from sticking around the holes. I am thinking of using half inch or larger dots.

The letters are 30+ feet viewing distance.

picky client!

Thanks!!

When we do them in stucco we use clear silicone or the the white vinyl paintable 30 yr caulk (it is called ALEX on the tube). Then you can spot paint them to match the wall color.

On silver ACM I might not fill the hole at all, assuming they aren't much bigger than the studs were. If you are putting vinyl dots over the holes I definitely wouldn't put silicone. The vinyl won't stick then.
