When you laminate white-painted aluminum (polymetal) to HDU, do you scuff with a belt sander, orbital sander or etch with some chemical.

Do you use epoxy or some other adhesive?
Thanks

Dennis-

I believe the correct term is Gorilla SNOT...

make sure the HDU is good and dust free.

I have a customer that actually coats the HDU out qucikly with an Acrylic Poly first---says he gets a better bond that way...

NO, Ted. Its NOT Gorilla Snot. Gorilla Snot is something we stock in our recording studio drum room. Its a specific for use on drumsticks to keep them from sliding out of the drummer's hands. No joke!

I scuff just enough to knock off the shine on the aluminum. I use Dura Finish which is a bonding epoxy, the same stuff you can add a little One Shot to, and flow on the sign graphics letters, borders, etc.
