	POSITION TEMPLATE Templates are 25¢ NET per inch of letter height, $3 NET maximum per letter. Templates are recommended for all stud mount letters. Position and level template on surface, securing with masking tape.		POSITION SPACING TAPE Spacing Tapes are free upon request. Tapes show the general position of each letter only. Position and level Spacing Tape on surface, securing with masking tape.

	DRILL 1/4" DIAMETER HOLES IN TEMPLATE Drill 1/4" diameter holes where indicated on template and into wall. Remove template from surface and clean out each hole with compressed air. Air vents on the drill or a turkey baster will work.		APPLY SILICONE TO FIRST LETTER With the Spacing Tape still in place, apply silicone liberally to all of the pads on the first letter. Position the letter on the surface where indicated on the Spacing Tape.

	INSERT STUDS INTO LETTER To prevent scratching, letters and studs are packed separately. Insert studs into the back of the first letter with silicone, spread silicone liberally on the studs of the first letter and push into place.		TAPE LETTERS TO SURFACE Use masking tape to hold the letter in place while the silicone cures. After the silicone has cured, remove both the Spacing and masking tape.

	STANDOFF Allow for a minimum of 1/8" between the back of the letter and the surface. Use a wood shim or match book to ensure that the standoff is the same for each letter. After the silicone has cured, remove the masking tape.		FLANGE INSTALLATION One of the simplest methods of installation is the flange mount. Drill through the flange into the mounting surface and secure. The drill hole should be slightly larger in diameter than securing screw to allow for expansion and contraction.
