securing metal name plate to glass

[pictureframingpro]

I have a question, and the search engine... it does nothing to help me.

I have framed an American Flag into a triangle shadow box. Now I have to mount the gold name plate on the glass since there is no room on the frame to place it.

969 atg? or is there an adhesive that I can use that will keep that plate on there forever.

Thanks
Lauri

If you really want it to be there forever consider UV curing Loctite 349, which will bond glass to glass, or metal to glass.

969 will hold it in place pretty much forever. Just make sure the glass is nice and clean before you stick. It's a good idea to lay 2 pieces of the release backing perpendicular under the plate to keep it off the glass until you have it in place. Then stick down the center of the plate and double check alignment. Once you're sure remove the release paper and stick it down.

Baer told me one time that he uses Frank's Fabric adhesive when he glues metal nameplates to glass. He said that any PVA will do, but Frank's is stickier. I haven't tried glueing a metal nameplate to glass yet, but I always put a few dabs of Frank's adhesive on the back of a nameplate when I glue it on matboard (ever since I had the double-stick tape, that the engraver puts on the back, fail).

This brings to mind another popular custom.
There's a gallery near here that carries all those
limited editions by places like Greenwich Workshop
and Mill Pond Press, etc.

When the artists come around on their gallery-hopping
tours, some of them sign on the outside their
previously framed works on the outside of the glass.
I know Bev Doolittle does this for people.
It looks to me like regular 'metallic ink' pen, and
seems as if it would be easy to ruin.

LOL....that last comments sounds like I'm
planning to sneak in some dark night and
try to ruin it myself! Not so. Much as I don't
ever in my life need one of those prints,
I am at moderate peace with their existence.

Swing by any trophy shop and ask for a little piece of 'Trophy Gold' tape.

It will be there from now on.

I dab a thin layer of either Frank's Fabric Adhesive or, if drying time permits, a little Lascaux adhesive and it stays put. I then carefully, so as to not shift the plate, put a LJ leather weight disc on the plate. Never have had one fail yet.

ATG will eventually fail.
