What You'll Need

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

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

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

THIS FIXING OPTION HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED, REFER TO OUR CLOSEST ALTERNATIVE

The image shows an illustration of a bottle applying a drop of adhesive onto a dark rectangular surface, where a large white splatter-like shape is present. The image likely represents the process of applying adhesive to a surface for fixing or attaching something. The background is light, and the focus is on the adhesive being applied.

Apply the Glue to the Back of the Sign

Squeeze all the glue onto the rear-side of your sign and use the spatula provided to cover the surface of the sign. Leave a 2cm gap between the glue and the edge of the sign.

STEP 1/4

The image shows a simple icon of a clock or timer, with a quarter segment of the circle filled in, indicating a short period of time. The design suggests a waiting period or the passage of time, possibly as part of instructions, such as waiting for adhesive to set or dry. The background is light, and the clock-like icon is dark, creating a clear and minimalistic visual representation.

Wait for the Glue to Set

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.

Step 2/4

The image shows an instructional graphic where a hand is pressing a sign against a dark surface labeled "BRICK WALL." Next to the wall, there is a clock icon with a quarter segment filled, indicating a waiting period, along with the text "10 MINUTES." This suggests that after applying adhesive, the sign should be held in place against the wall for 10 minutes to ensure proper adhesion. The design clearly indicates the required action and waiting time for the adhesive to set.

Put the Sign Against Your Wall 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.

Step 3/4

The image shows a graphic indicating a successful completion of a task. A hand is giving a thumbs-up gesture next to a sign that is attached to a dark surface labeled "BRICK WALL." The sign appears to be securely fixed in place, suggesting that the adhesive has successfully bonded the sign to the wall. The thumbs-up symbolizes approval or confirmation that the process has been completed correctly.

Let Go and Admire the Sign

After 15 minutes or so, you should be able to let go of the sign. Slowly take your hand away and watch for any movement. If the sign stays in place, you're find to let go fully and admire the sign.
