I spent 10 minutes looking and searching this board but could not find this...
I remember someone mentioned a very light adhesive for bezels and marquees, which would stick vinyl pretty well, but still allow you to peel it off easily in the event you wanted to remove it. I also think this was a sprayed adhesive, but not sure -- and that it left very little/none residue after peeling off.
If you have any suggestions please let me know. I want this for my bezel, to adhere it to the plexiglass.
Thanks!

3M Remount sounds like what you're after.

Indeed, this looks like it! Any advice on how to apply this before I go buy and apply?
Thanks,

Can you give a little more detail about what you are trying to do with it?
Are you applying the vinyl on the front or the back of the bezel?
How often will it be removed?
Is the vinyl semi-opaque (blocks light for the most part), translucent (light comes through easily, but stuff behind it is foggy) or transparent (light comes through, and you can see things clearly behind it)?

Hi,
I'm trying to put adhesive on the back of the vinyl, to stick it on the rear plexi. (Im sandwiching the bezel between 2 plexis). Will not remove often, but don't want anything permanent on my plexi.
The vinyl is semi-opaque.
-
If you're sandwiching it like that, I'd just use some small pieces of removable double-sided tape at the corners.
That should keep it from slipping, and will be a whole lot easier to remove when you want to.
-
The problem isn't about slipping... it's about getting the vinyl to rest flat throughout the plexi.
-
If it's sandwiched, it should stay flat.
If not, I would use the 3m above, apply it to the vinyl, and then put that onto the plex.
That should avoid overspray on the plex.
