the holes with silicone. |

cement. Stainless steel jam nuts are inserted between
the letter and the mounting surface. Makes an
adjustable standoff without spacers. Also use for
uneven surfaces. |

between the letter and the mounting surface. Specify
standoff required not spacer length. Standard spacer lengths are 1/4", 3/8",
1/2", 3/4" and 1". |

surface, like corrugated steel fascia on prefab metal buildings.

construction. Generally: Machine screws & sheet metal
screws work well.
