Attaching a lightweight sign to natural stone without damage
I would like to add a 1' circular sign (probably made of a light plastic material like Coroplast or Sintra) to a rough natural stone (moss rock) pillar. The pillar is outdoors in a sheltered, shaded spot under a roof. Outdoor temps here range from 0 F to 80 F or so. It may be a pipe dream, but i'd like to mount the sign with something that can be removed someday without leaving (too many) marks (so no drilling). Something like brick clips would be ideal but the stone doesn't have a regular shape. I wonder about adhesive-- something like construction adhesive or silicone, but that I could peel off a porous surface. I've heard Sikaflex mentioned as an option. I do have VHB tape which I use frequently and really like, but i'm not sure if it could be removed from stone. submitted by /u/EVPLD [link] [comments]
