Suggestions for a product to affix wood to plexi? Login/Join 
Team Apathy

I have a very large plexiglass company logo that was made to mount on a wall that I now wish to mount on a rolling tv stand instead. In order to mount the brackets on the plexilogo I think I want to glue some plywood to the bag so I have more thickness for the screws that will hold
The bracket on.

I guesstimate the logo to be about 4 feet in diameter and maybe 8-10 pounds. It is probably 1/4” thick.

Any suggestions on the proper adhesive for this job? Preference to something I can get at the local Home Depot with the company account.

Any good epoxy. Or any good marine sealant intend for this like 3m4000uv or 4200.

3M 4200 if you ever want to separate them. 5200 if you never want to separate.

I've had very good luck adhering two dissimilar materials with E6000 adhesive. Get it at Lowe's or Home Depot.

My first thought was the E6000 also.

Silicone. Works well, can be removed if necessary. Would avoid screw holes, due to propensity of acrylic to crack.

5200 attacks some plastics, not sure about acrylic though.

Without knowing/seeing more, in addition to what was already suggested, I’d also consider VHB or some heavy duty hook and loop.

I looked at the JB Weld products available at Home Depot and for some reason I can’t recall at the movement it didn’t seem like the best choice.

Screwing directly into the plexi won’t work… I can’t risk screws puncturing all the way through and it simply isn’t think enough to be confident.

A frame won’t work… it’s completely circular and needs to hang on a wheeled tv cart like the one at this link. My plan is to glue the wood to the back of plexi and then screw the brackets that typically attach to the back of the tv to the wood.

The E6000 seems like it was right for the job and I requested that it be picked up for me tomorrow. If it fails I don’t think the logo will be damaged… it won’t be that high.

In Thirty years of using e6000
It's only failed me once.

When a snow plow took out my mail box in -12 degree fahrenheit weather.

The two pieces did come apart

I keep using it once or twice a year to find stuff that it won't hold on too.

Barge is a great contact cement that will glue just about anything to just about anything else. Saddle makers/leather workers use it widely. I have used to adhere neoprene bumpers to the bottom of stainless steel magazines, where other adhesives failed. Have also glued rubber to wood, leather to stainless, and other combinations. Two coats on any porous surface.
 
For gluing any large surface like that with contact cement, I would suggest separating the two pieces with wood dowels that run the full width. This makes it easy to move the decal around and position it so it is right over the substrate, because you do not get a second chance. Adhere one end only at first, and reposition. Then start pulling the dowels out and adhering as you work your way across.



When in doubt, mumble
