Installing signs

I'm adding new in-bay signs since they were removed by the previous owners (or maybe stolen). These will be on unpainted brick and I'm debating gluing them on with construction adhesive instead of push rivets. Would this be a mistake? Should I make the extra effort to drill into the brick or would the glue method be sufficient? The signs are from KleenRite and are polystyrene.

Thanks!
Patrick

I’ve had limited luck with using 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape and multiple different types of adhesive chalk. The substrate has to be very clean and at a warm temperature to work in the best scenario. I would recommend nylon wall inserts and Stainless steel screws

Go to the extra time and use anchors with stainless steel screws that prevents bleeding.

Get some stainless washers also, finishing washers look good, fender washers provide the best hold, but don't look that great.

Hi Randy, can you easily remove these plastic screws when you need to replace the sign?
