what is best way to attach coroplast to a brick wall?

[shuv76]

Hello,,,i have a job where i will need to attach about 10 coroplast signs to brick wall. The signs are 16x21.
I wanted to see if anyone knows of a good way to do that.
In the past I have used a masonary bit and then screwed fastener in to hold coroplast. It was usually bigger signs though.
Is there some kind of adhesive that might work? Would appreciate any help......Paul

duct tape

looks better than coro, IMHO :Big Laugh

otherwise, I'd expect the fasteners you've used in the past would be best.
Most aggressive adhesives (like liquid nails, or similar) leave a clean-up mess, or cost a lot, like 3M VHB tape...

The 3M double-sided tape from Home Depot along with silicone. Tape the signs in place until the silicone cures.

this is my input for installation...

Please don't use silicone, or liquid nails, or caulk, or VHB tape, or foam tape.

The coro signs are gonna last a year, two if you're lucky, on the wall....when they come down the mounting goop is gonna last and look horrible for another 20 years. A couple of small masonry anchors and you're done. Little holes are easy to fill when the signs come down.

Why coro? Installation is gonna cost them more than the signs.

While the small print is also correct..... me too, why Cor-X ??

You're attempting to instal a permanent type installation using a known temporary substrate. Makes no sense whatsoever.

anchors, screws, and washers... into the MORTAR LINES
silicone will ruin the brick wall.

Nails and washers

Cor-x last a lot longer then a year or 2 on a building here in Chicago

Bubble Gum, it will dry up and fail about the same time as the coroplast will

This is the way to do it. After a year goes by and the signs start falling appart it will be easy to switch over to aluminum blanks and use the same holes and anchors.

Liquid Nails, Use a calk gun and masking tape on the signs until its dry.
Good Luck

Do not do this, you will have one ticked off customer when the signs come down and the liquid nails is on the building for the next 1000 years

I agree that the preferred method would be a mechanical fastener. I suggested silicone because the OP specifically asked if there was an adhesive that would work. While silicone wouldn't be my preferred method, you can still use it and not make a huge mess of the brick. VHB tape holds quite well on brick by itself. So VHB coupled with some thin lines of silicone on some of the mortar lines and the sign will stay put for quite a while. If/when it is removed, the majority of the silicone is on the mortar lines which cleans up fairly easily.

Also, there are landlords and property owners that are pretty adamant about not drilling holes in their buildings.

Just saying - not sure why exactly the OP specified using an adhesive, but it's possible that's his only option. If not - yeah, use mechanical fasteners.
