How to Install Your House Sign

- Using super strong glue fixings

What You'll Need

• Glue: this can be found in your package in a brown paper bag.

• Cloth: to wipe down the back of the sign and the location of where the sign will go.

• Spirit Level: it's best to be on the safe side, there's nothing worse than a stuck-to-the-wall, wonky sign...

• Steady Hand: you'll need to hold the sign in place for about 5-10 minutes so it sets.

BEFORE YOUR START!

It's a must that you make sure the surface you intend to glue your sign to is appropriate. The surface needs to be flat, smooth, and dust-free. We have listed some wall types which work:

• wooden walls

• UPVc doors

• metal

Step 1 / 5

CLEAN THE BACK OF YOUR SIGN AND THE SURFACE WHERE YOU WANT THE SIGN TO GO

Use a towel or cloth that you don't mind getting dirty. The back of the sign may have a little dust, but nothing that'll damage the material.

APPLY THE ADHESIVE TO THE BACK OF THE SIGN

Put down a bit of cardboard from the signs packaging and lay the sign on it face down (this'll protect your work surface from any glue spillage). Squeeze and spread all of the glue out onto the back of the sign.

Step 3 / 5

WAIT FOR THE GLUE TO SET A LITTLE

The adhesive will now do its thing and start to set. Leave it for about 10-15 minutes - we don't want the glue to fully set, but just enough so we don't have to hold it up against the wall for too long.

ADHERE INTO PLACE AND HOLD

Now the glue has partially set, pick up the sign and level tool and go to your desired location to fix the sign. Push the sign onto the wall and hold, hold, hold. You'll need to hold for 10-15 minutes (the longer the better). Now is the time to have a look and make sure the sign is aligned using your level too.

ADMIRE YOUR BRAND NEW SIGN!

If all is well, your sign will stick and stay in place. The 2-piece glue is made up of adhesive resin and a hardener - so the sign will hang proudly in place nice and securely.
