Default How to install scripts WITHOUT drilling holes

How to apply scripts (WITHOUT DRILLING ANY HOLES)

NOTE: The Scripts were purchased from www.muttonhollowchevys.com.

You need the following:

3M industrial double stick tape (has RED backing, gray color when red backing in pulled off).

Bull Dog Adhesive Spray

Heat lamp, preferably painter's heat lamp.

First file down the posts on the back of the scripts using a Dremel.

Then apply 3M tape and cut out the double stick tape around the script

Confirm that the area where you are going to apply the script is extremely clean, dry and free of any residual oils or grease.

Heat the door (If you are doing hood scripts, heat the exterior metal)

Then peel off the red portion on the 3M tape to expose the sticky side and spray the sticky side with the Bull Dog Adhesive promoter.

Next, heat the the back side of the script that was just sprayed with the adhesive promoter.

Take painter's tape and build a "box" where you are going to place the script (see picture below)

Take a ruler to make sure the box is a perfect rectangle and measure the center of the open box - THAT is where the center of the script will go

Apply the script dead center of the open rectangle making sure the top of the script is exactly even with the bottom edge of the painter's tape edge

Apply the script and remove the tape box around the script - press down on the script for about two minutes.

Now put painters tape over the script and reheat the script while on the door for about 5 to 10 minutes.

The KEY to making it stick is the heat. When the surface (plastic or metal) is heated and the sticky tape is heated, the heated items in conjunction with the Bull Dog adhesive promoter (which is also heated) creates a super strong bond.

The Result on each door looks like this:
