Hard to beat 3M brand VHB tape.

I have a 2'X6' MDO sign still up, after 12 years, on tilt up concrete building that is mounted using only VHB tape.

I use 3 layers of 3M VHB, then use silicon in 2 to 4 spots

you would be better off with silicone than loctite. Ive seen that loctite comes loose on signs other compnaies around her installed and we were called to go out and fix

Silicon works best when it is 3-4 mm thick, allows some flexing
