Studs are a necessity at that size. You might be able to measure the mortar line spacing and place studs on the letters accordingly, but the install world isn't usually that perfect. You'll likely wind up having to drill in the brick at some point because the mortar line fluctuates or something.

It's up to the original sign company selling the job to do the code research, determine what's allowed and provide signage based on those allowances. A good sign company will take it a step further and send the proposed drawings to the municipality to confirm they'll be approved prior to...

There's varying terminology throughout the industry, but this may help:

Dimensions you'll need: Overall face width Overall face height Overall draw/draft width (width of raised/formed portion of face) Overall draw/draft height (height of raised/formed portion of face) Draw/draft depth (depth of raised/formed portion of face) Flange width (the flange is the portion...

Thank you all for the condolences. I'll still be checking in. Who else is going to tell the newbs to put Lexel on everything?

It won't take a couple of years...I'm already grateful for the change. I've loathed the heat and Dallas traffic for the entire 23 years I've been here and both are getting worse. Some close friends are about the only things I'll miss. Closing down a very successful business was definitely...

Same issue. I have the site bookmarked to show the What's New posts but it's only showing a few after ignoring spammers. Maybe because they took so much real estate.... ‍

Letchworth > Niagara My two cents.

Oracal/Orafol 8510 is the easiest to install in my opinion. If it's difficult to see the vinyl (ie: 3M) through the premask, I ask the sign company providing the vinyl to rub the outline/perimeter/edges with a construction crayon. Pencil lead can easily get on your fingers and find its way...

I've done a ton of these. If you're doing a lot of repetitive, equally spaced pieces, a jig is your friend. Determine ahead of time what the spacing will be and find something that dimension. If there's 1" or 2" between each one, find a 3' or 4' box level that has a 1" thickness or 2" height. A...
