+1 to these. That's what we do if we're struggling with ANY vector related issue. Or if you need vector for cut lines then convert the offending parts into a bitmap within Corel and export the hybrid file as a pdf.

Seriously though, here are the two neighboring counties' Honestly I love Van Buren County's—it's not timeless by any means but at least somebody had a vision and the skills to see it through!

Man, I'm so sorry, I had no idea you made this

Aside from everything else about this, is that a camper trailer? With a patio and sidewalk going to the back door of a log cabin?

o_O

Don't have a brake though, or a welder! I ask this with all humility as I'm new to making my own pans and don't have much metal fab experience in general—what part might sag? As for the glue holding, since the frame angle is held square to the brick and the sign "lip" angle is held square to...

:roflmao: PLENTY of alupanel scrap laying around + using less aluminum angle.

I just googled it - chemical concepts has it in the 50ml size we know and love, and $2 less than the non GB stuff is at Wensco -

Thanks for your help everybody! Put the sign up last night. First time using this mounting system that I learned about on our beloved signs101! SO EASY

I don't really understand why the GB option is not more ready available (at least not from Wensco and Grimco) as that sure would simplify clamping. ETA: GB stands for glass beads - they're in the adhesive and ensure a sufficient thickness

I wiped it down with acetone and then 100% isopropyl. Yeah I definitely didn't scuff it well enough—I scuffed it with way too fine sandpaper. Especially since Lord's themselves just says nothing about scuffing metal (or even doing a thorough cleaning fer chrissakes!) I thought I had done...

Ouch I'm guessing that knowledge doesn't come from book learnin'

Thank you for checking that. It was 60-70 where it was stored but anything's possible!

I decided to clean it with acetone and then really clean it with a 36 grit sanding disc :D there's going to be a whole lot of mechanical adhesion where before it was all very smooth. I had given it enough tooth for painting but not much more. Also for grins I did drill some small holes as...

Interesting - I just looked at the sign again and the adhesive on the acm side is hard while the adhesive on the aluminum is soft enough to smear with my finger. The tubes expire May 2nd so I'd like to imagine that's not the issue. I can try cleaning them with acetone and then 100% isopropyl...

I was gluing 2" aluminum angle to acm to make returns. Used Lord's 406/19 (not expired). Lightly scuffed the angle and wiped it with ispropyl. Same for the acm. Squeezed out a mixing nozzle's worth first to ensure full mix. Clamped for 24 hours. Today I went to move the sign and the pieces...

Thank you. Any opinion about whether I should get a polishing pad to put on a drill or do it by hand?

Is that the three part stuff?

Unfortunately the doors AND the lettering were both about ten years old :confused:

I cleaned the window first and sprayed foaming window cleaner on the letters before scraping. I might not have been using enough at first though. I think it was mostly the ACE hardware blades.
