I am planning to attach to a stucco wall various shaped pieces of 3/4 inch birch faced plywood with a 1/4 inch wide reveal of polished aluminum between the panels. Here's the thing, every adhesive manufacturers tech support advises against adhesive alone as an attachment method and suggests additional mechanical fasteners such as screws or nails. I am opposed as I am looking for a smooth appearance. My sense is they advise against adhesive alone for liability reasons. Can anyone suggest a phenomanally strong bonding agent that will allow me to avoid additional screws. Thanks
Blind mount pins, like floating shelves
You drill holes in the wall insert pegs, match the holes to bline holes, (ie: no exit wound)on the panels. Slide the panels onto the pins in the walls utilizing something like Gorilla Glue or Lexel. Should work fine and give much better support. Many glues, or more accurately exopies, are, like glass really always liquids held in a very slow moving state. Liquids do tend to move eventually.
That's an elegant
solution; the transfer of points can be accomplished simply by thumping in the panel as it is held in correct position over the pins -- which might as well be finish nails located at wall studs ?
Construction adhesive (industrial-strength chewing gum, I call it) will reliably hold plywood to a vertical surface; the trick is holding the panels in place while the glue firms up.
It is such a nice...
solution it deserves to be put in the proper box
