  2. Need Help Perforated Frustration

    It may also have partly to do with if you used a 60/40 or 70/30 perf.
  3. Great New Product I Discovered Yesterday

    As JohnBFryJr said, I've seen mention (I think on their product video) that they use it for telephone poles, so I would think it would technically WORK as a replacement for concrete on some larger jobs but I don't know if there's enough data that would put an inspector or permit department at...
  4. Great New Product I Discovered Yesterday

    You can order it through Home Depot or Amazon here in the U.S. under the name Secure Set. There may be others, but that's the one I have and use on occasion. I've only used it a couple of times. My only real complaint is that no hole is going to be a given, exact size. So even if you get close...
  5. Fixing / Hanging An 8m Banner On A Wall?

    Not saying it's the best, but one pretty simple method... Install eyebolts into the wall a few inches away from the perimeter of the banner, in line with each grommet. Use zip ties to tension the banner between the eyebolts. Makes for an easy change out.
  6. Self Contained Channel Letters

    They're easier to install and service.
  7. Using Lexel For Acrylic Letters

    Lexel has a very similar smell as the glue you would use on model cars - I'm guessing it shares similar ingredients that aid in its adhesion to plastics. It actually 'etches' the surface of acrylic and polycarbonate and 'welds' to it. There's zero way it's separating once cured (you'd need a...

    I like Opera. Zero issues. Fast. Doesn't hog resources.
  11. Removing Signs That Have Been Attached With Vhb

    If there's a concern about damaging the surface, I start with 250 pound Kevlar line (<link). That usually does the trick. If it doesn't, try a thin, flexible 4" putty knife. Surround the sign with masking tape on the wall so the blade and handle don't scrape the wall.
  12. Using Lexel For Acrylic Letters

    Use VHB and Lexel, they won't go anywhere. And no need to sand the backs of the letters - the Lexel 'melts' into the acrylic.
  13. Need Help Affixing Signs To Block Walls

    I've had good success with 3M Command Strips. They're pricey but won't mar the wall.
  14. How Would You Install This?

    I would either: 1.) Use brackets, painted to match, off the mullions (to carry the weight) and then use a combination of VHB (yes, it will adhere) and Lexel to keep it adhered to the wall. or 2.) I'd leave them the sign and let them worry about the installation and liability. No way I...
  15. Need Help I Need A Plan B For My Failed Installation Of Foam Letters

    Just restating what has already been said, but use Lexel, not silicone. On something this large, a few studs to carry the weight is a good idea. Might also be a good idea to grind off a few spots of paint on the building just for extra reassurance. Apply Lexel directly to those spots and you'll...
  16. Advice Needed, Never Done THis Before

    It's really not that many pieces. You could cut a stencil-pattern. Tape it to the wall, it's as easy as putting the oval peg in the oval hole, the square peg in the square hole, etc. This was done with stencil-cut patterns: In cases where a paper pattern is provided, I used to cut the...

  18. How annoying is this to you................??

    I made the mistake of attending a similar show in Dallas. Bought a package deal where I could set out flyers, business cards, etc. It basically resulted in a TON of emails from SEO companies, webhosting companies, etc. They bombarded me with emails and it took months to get them all marked as...

    McFarland He's great to work with and fairly priced.
  20. Seaming foam board/gatorfoam for large interior sign

    I'd get a 10' sheet and avoid the seam.
