Best way to mount wood lettering on a wall

We’re using 3/4” plywood and they’re cut in a fairly thin font. Some of the letters are connected in cursive but others are stand alone. We’re wanting it to be flush and not any noticeable screws or mounting hardware.
Had someone recommend construction adhesive to bond it to the wall. Any recommendations? I was thinking maybe a mix of that adhesive and a nail gun to hold the letters in place while the adhesive sets them touch up paint the nails. They’re pretty light weight considering the size of them.

a thin gauge brad finish nail will tack them up there just be careful with the air pressure. you can also use a manual brad pusher it looks like a screwdriver. any construction adhesive will work if you want to use it

less is more on the adhesive BTW. if you are installing over drywall you are adhering to paint and paper. put a small amount on the letter and smear it thin with a card or your finger

If you don't want any mounting hardware showing we've always used VHB tape and construction adhesive. You can use silicone if you want to remove it one day without damaging.
