That's a YouTube fail video waiting to happen. I'd say sorry, but you got the wrong equipment. Tell them you need an aerial lift or bucket truck.

If it's a nice place, I dress nicer. My customers (the sign company I'm installing for) appreciate it and the end customers (where I'm installing) appreciate it. So, not being sarcastic here, but maybe don't wear "dusty work boots". I have never covered a counter I have to stand on, for the very...

It works especially well in cases where you don't have to use concrete. A helper and I set 8 posts yesterday and it took about 5 minutes per sign to lay the tarp out, auger the hole, set the post in, tip the dirt back in/around the post, tamp it down and screw the face on.

Adding this to the thread in case it helps anyone. Augers tend to throw the dirt pretty far which typically results in a bunch of time spent on clean up if you're in any kind of 'finished' area. My solution to this is a heavy duty tarp with a square cut out of the center (I 'sealed' the cut...

I agree with the comment above. There shouldn't be wrinkles in this, especially since it's Control Tac. It definitely points to error in technique, which means you'll have the same issues again if replacing. I would see if they would agree to patching the sections with wrinkles.

Control Tac?

What material did you use?

There should have been a few inches of bleed at the top of the graphics to compensate for any variations in the drop ceiling. Same with the floor, although with the wall base, you were probably fine and didn't have any issues. Unfortunately, the customer has the right to expect a wrinkle-free...

Drilling and tapping is the most common method used (almost always). Transporting a bunch of letters with pads/studs sticking out of them isn't ideal. Plus, studs threaded directly into the letters would be more secure than studs threaded into pads.

You have 7 drawn, not 6, but I would go with 7, like you have shown. I don't understand your question about the top ones having pins into the brick & expansion......all 7 should have studs. 1/4" acrylic would be a bit thin for letters this size. All of that being said, any particular reason...

Doubt it, Faces is one of the largest and they max out at 8'x20'.

You can get security bits from Harbor Freight, Amazon, etc. Any of the basic kits should include the bits for those.

They're not standoffs, they're snake eye security screws....

Ugh, that sucks. I bought three, so I'd have a couple of spares, in case that happened. That being said, I've put the first one through quite a bit and it's held up fine. What drill are you using?

Other than responding to an 11 year old post?

I think that would be an interesting and enjoyable read. Computers have definitely eliminated the need for talent in a lot of areas in the sign industry. Neon bending, hand lettering, etc. are all becoming a lost art. Are there enough veterans here to contribute? I would think you're talking...

That's about the way it works. Yeah, I will, but the landing sucks.

Texas_Signmaker you might want to pick up one of the new DeWalt fans. These are 650cfm vs 500cfm. Doesn't sound like much, but noticeably better air flow.
