Thread: Braille Problem

  1. #1

    Braille Problem

    I made three ADA signs out of the Rowmark "ADA Alternative" material, drilled holes for braille using a .059 bit, used .062 braille beads but my beads/rasters won't stay in the holes. I drilled the holes .036'' deep to make sure they were deep enough. Is there some kind of glue I can use to salvage this job? Because I don't have anymore of the material to do the job over. Thanks!

    Wayne,

    Use Craft Glue when your having trouble with the friction fit or have to repair braille. Fill the holes then insert the braille spheres, you can wipe off the excess squeeze out with a damp paper towel. Craft glue dries clear and it won't damage the spheres, CA glue just melts acrylic spheres.

    You mean like "Elmer's" white glue?

    Yes, Elmers or any of the common white craft style glues will work. They are all water soluble and are clear in color when they dry.
