I bought some marble desk plaques and bought a painted brass plate to attach to the face. What would you suggest using to attach the plate to the marble. I have used the plates for other application but they are usually attached with screws. Never really thought about how I would attach it other wise: double sided tape? What do you suggest? As always any help is appreciated<hr /><a name="a5949_2"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.2">#2</a>]<br /> 3 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Nick (NICKIONPOE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.1">#1</a>] 3 Feb 2007</p> If the plate doesn't have pre-drilled screw holes, I would use the double sided tape.... the thin stuff so it doesn't stand off from the plaque.<br /> <br /> BTW, did anyone else notice the automatic spell checker has started to work? <hr /><a name="a5949_3"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.3">#3</a>]<br /> 3 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Nick (NICKIONPOE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.1">#1</a>] 3 Feb 2007</p> <p>Nick,</p> <p>As Steve suggests, an aggressive double-faced tape should work well.</p> <p>Another option, if a piece were particularly heavy, would be to use a slicone sealer as the adhesive.</p> <p>If you went the sealer route, it would be necessary to tape the piece in place (masking tape) while it dries, to avoid the piece moving from its desired position.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 3 Feb 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a5949_4"></a><p><b>From: Joe (SMITTY61)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.4">#4</a>]<br /> 4 Feb 2007<br /><b>To: Nick (NICKIONPOE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5949.1">#1</a>] Unread</p> 2/way tape.
