  3. French Cleats?

    Getting ready to hang a large HDU and aluminum sign on a block wall. The sign will weigh between 100 and 150#. It's going outside so anything wood or plastic would probably nor work so I found these aluminum French cleats. Does anyone know of a better alternative? Thanks...

  6. Digital print companies

    I need 7-60''x36'' digital prints made forapplying to some max metal for outdoor use. "Car Stickers" wants $75 each for gloss laminated prints. Are their prints any good for an industry standard outdoor durability? Thanks

  12. Standoffs for MaxMetal

    If you were going to mount some cut-out MaxMetal letters on a wood background with standoffs to accommodate LED lights, what would you use for standoffs.? We don't want screws showing. And what type LED;s would you use for a halo effect? Thanks
  13. Backlit Letters

    I'm researching doing some stand-off cut-out letters for a church. The letters will either be cut out of solid brushed aluminum cut from something like 1/4'' aluminum plate or we may use some of the brushed aluminum faced aluminum composite material. They want LED's behind the letters for a halo...
  14. Design fees and payment upfront

    Unless it's something quick and simple, like 30 minutes or so, $50 is not enough for most designs.
  15. Design fees and payment upfront

    I usually give them 3 Choices; 1# Free quote, no design. #2 Free quote, design fee, start designing, give them a vector file of the design, or JPG if it's for printing. #3 Free quote, start the job at 50% down, design and build the sign. The design is always included in the sign cost unless I am...

    Most of the time, I use 1.5'' 15# and sometimes 2'' 15#. The Davis and Edward jones signs are two thicknesses of 1.5'' laminated to make a 3'' thick sign. The "ALday Howell sign is two thicknesses of 1.5'' for the tan/brown panel and the grey ellipses on both sides are another 1.5''. Total 6''...

    No, mine is much thicker than .035. At least .045 but it looks like 1/16'' which would be .063. And it's solid wire; not flux core. Yes you place it right against the substrate. When you have it within 1/8'' or so of the depth you're after, take the frame off and blast without it. This will...

    I used heavy gauge stainless steel MIG welding wire. It won't rust and will probably last you a lifetime. The reason I used stainless was because i was concerned about flecks of steel rusting through the paint/s should any become embedded. Not sure if that's a real issue but the upside of that...
