These are acrylic adhesives with super-strong bonds to plastic, fiberglass, ABS, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Each has different working times to allow for flexibility depending on the project.

Outdoor signs don’t get a second chance

From assembling channel letters and bonding assembly clips to aluminum frames, fabricators need bonding solutions that perform through heat, cold, UV exposure, and everything in between. Big Dog Adhesives offers structural acrylic adhesives built specifically for the demands of sign manufacturing.

BD4005GR & BD4010GR
When you're bonding metals, including galvanized steel, you need an adhesive that handles the expansion and contraction that comes with large outdoor structures. The BD4005GR and BD4010GR deliver strong, flexible bonds for sign cabinets, raceways, frames, and brackets, with working time options designed to match your production pace:
BD4005GR – 5–6 minute open time, 15 minute fixture time
BD4010GR – 10-minute open time, 30-minute fixture time

BD5542
For decorative elements, clear plastics, and any application where the bond itself is on display, BD5542 stays optically clear years after installation. Non-yellowing and UV-stable, it's built to look as good as the sign it's holding together.
Open time: 6-10 minutes-Fixture time:25-30 minutes

Whatever size or material sign you are building, Big Dog Adhesives provides the solution for you to achieve the look and design that you want your customers to see.
