  1. Installing letters isn't usually tiring...

    Thanks! Everything was tired lol Thanks!!
  2. Mounting metal letters to marble/stone wall

    VHB is still your best bet. Cut pieces as wide as possible, even on the 'l'. Keep in mind it's pressure sensitive. Apply pressure to ensure the tape wets out entirely.
  3. hey everyone hoping you can give me a quick pointer

    I totally agree on the hot spots. With a shallow cabinet and a flat face, there will be hot spots. I just don't understand why there's so much emphasis being put on hanger bars and screws (?!) for a 4' x 8' polycarbonate face. The same retainers that held in the existing formed faces will hold...
  4. hey everyone hoping you can give me a quick pointer

    Not to be argumentative, but that's why electrical service calls are T&M and hard quotes aren't given. I still don't understand what's dangerous about inserting a 4' x 8' x .188" polycarbonate face where a formed face was.
  5. hey everyone hoping you can give me a quick pointer

    I must be missing something - what's the dangerous part of this?
  6. Mounting metal letters to marble/stone wall

    I don't think I've ever seen a letter stroke too thin for VHB....especially on a 6" letter. I vote VHB.
  7. Installing letters isn't usually tiring...

    Thanks guys. Yeah, it was starting to die so I had to snag another one.
  8. Installing letters isn't usually tiring...

    ...but today was. Tape & silicone mounted. Glad they provided stencil patterns though, made it a whole lot easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZlAdYeFcKs&feature=youtu.be
  9. Removal of wall letters..............................

    I would tell the customer that the wall is going to need patch and paint. If they expect you to do this without damaging the wall, I would walk. Two guys with some windshield removal wire/handles should be able to blow through them. One guy holds pulls the wire through, the other guy holds the...
  10. VHB and Cold Weather Applications

    Clean with alcohol then use VHB 4943 and Lexel.
  11. Should I charge more than $29 for this sidewalk sign?

    To clarify, I like the video as a whole. I just didn't like the part where the guy couldn't manage to fold up the sign. Well that and saying the signs were wind-proof. The rest of it was actually pretty good I thought.
  12. Should I charge more than $29 for this sidewalk sign?

    Pricing aside, when I see (sorry, but...) cheesy videos showing people struggling to do something ridiculously easy (folding up a plastic sign) in an attempt to make their product more appealing, it just screams 'desperate', 'scam', 'too good to be true'.... I think when you resort to...
  13. Is there a font that contains a full set of fractions?

    Thanks! I'll explore that option.
  14. Is there a font that contains a full set of fractions?

    I know about the typical alt+0189 etc. but is there one that has a large variety of common fractions?
  15. PVC Panels on Field Stone?

    Easy cheesy. Not sure what you'd be using tool-wise for the install, but if you don't own a rotary hammer, you should really get one. It would be worth it for this job alone. I did six sets of the Market Street letters and two sets of some of the others ones shown in the pictures below. There...
  16. Can a city, town etc... bar you from using your trademarked logo or logotype?

    I've dealt with municipalities that have stipulated that logos cannot be used and that only certain colors can be used - regardless of the business, the size of the business, etc. There was one here in Texas that RadioShack wanted to go into and they couldn't use their logo or their colors and...

  18. Formed plastic letter install.

    They should be sending 10-24 studs with the letters. If so, you want a 3/16" bit. There's no reason to go any larger than that. As mentioned, in masonry, the holes are rarely drilled without some wandering, which is a good thing because it places tension on the studs. I don't think you'll need...

    Weld-On 16 for acrylic to polycarbonate bonding. Weld-On 3 for acrylic to acrylic or polycarbonate to polycarbonate bonding.
