STUD PAD COMBINATION INSTALLATIONS
Installation patterns are recommended for pad stud combination installations and are available by (Clicking Add Installation Pattern on the item total page)
If you have 2 signs you need 2 patterns
 


TOOLS NEEDED

1) Masking Tape
2) Level
3) Drill & 1/4'' Drill Bit
4) Tube of Silicone
5) Piece of Cardboard


 

1) Tape the Installation pattern to a piece of even cardboard with masking tape. This makes it easy to get a flat surface over corrugations.

 

 

2) Tape one edge of the Installation pattern to the installation surface with masking tape and level the pattern and tape the other edge to the installation surface.

 

3) Punch and drill 1/4" holes 3 inches deep where indicated on your template. Remove the template and clean out all drill holes: a puff of air threw a straw works well.

 

 

4) Screw the studs and the pads into the stud holes on the back of each letter. Place the letters into the holes that you just drilled and prefit them in and adjust the pads to get a even flat mount.

 

5) Apply 100% pure silicone and push the letters into the drill holes, then apply masking tape to hold the letters up while the silicone is drying. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the rest of the letters.

 

How to avoid common INSTALLATION problems

  • Check installation template (mounting pattern) before leaving the shop.
  • Verify all boxes and letters have been delivered before leaving the shop.
  • Center and level template on mounting surface.
  • Clean surface thoroughly before using 100% silicone.
  • Blow all debris from holes after drilling (stud or combination mount).
  • Check letter orientation to avoid upside down characters.
  • Make sure number on back of each letter matches positioning on template.
  • Use only top quality materials (silicone, tape, etc.).
