  1. Sign in progress...

    Yeah, I've had to cancel most of my stuff for the week but have still wound up working full days. Not sure how that happened. Installed two sets of aluminum letters on stone monuments today and did some other odds and ends. I should have kept it a normal work week. I would have worked less...
  2. Sign in progress...

    I had the vendor adhere the acrylic, but they use silicone for outdoor signs and epoxy for indoor.
  3. Sign in progress...

    Thanks for the compliments. Thanks...I sub out the materials and just handle the assembly and installation. lol...the benefits of home office. Comfy work environment, free drinks and food, good music. Yeah, the foam and acrylic just give it a different look....gives it some dimension and...
  4. Sign in progress...

    Home sick, so took advantage of the time to get this assembled. Pretty simple, nothing mind-blowing... 2" Signfoam laminated with .125" orange acrylic. Tagline has an additional layer of .125" black acrylic overlay with cut-out letters. Letters and tagline are mounted to a 3'-0" x 9'-0" x 2"...
  5. Etched Aluminum-Safety Orange

    Might get a faster response if you don't go through their general email system. If you don't get a response, try mattr@steelartco.com and tell him Moze referred you. They're good people and turn out some of the best products on the market.
  6. Verbiage help?

    My uneducated eye says it looks perfect! I like it a lot - good job.
  7. Not exactly about installations, but rather......................................

    Cold, I don't mind. I can layer up and throw the heated jacket on, etc. and be good to go. But extremely cold temps are rare here anyway. I worked on a Wells Fargo conversion some years back and was managing installations up in Wyoming. It was similar to the weather Mosh is talking about and the...
  8. Verbiage help?

    Agreed, repairs is redundant. And it's not much, but maybe use '&' instead of 'and'.
  9. Pantone Swatch Books - Which One?!

    (...or, what mpn said...)
  10. Pantone Swatch Books - Which One?!

    The Coated (C) and Uncoated (U) refer to how the colors will look on coated or uncoated paper. The formula is the same for both corresponding colors. If they spec a coated or uncoated color, it's important to make sure they understand the system and how the media or material being printed or...

  12. Pantone Swatch Books - Which One?!

    Depends what you're doing with them. Print to paper/stock and you'll generally want the uncoated. Print to glossy or paint a sign cabinet and you'll generally want the coated.
  13. Etched Aluminum-Safety Orange

    I would sub it out to Steel Art. Their "etch and fill" is actually blasted. It gives the same result. "Etch and fill" is an old term that is often used out of default. As long as the finished product is what they want, you should be fine. Blasting has replaced etching in many instances.
  14. Best fastener for brick wall install

    Lags & shields or sleeve anchors.
  15. Adhering Letters in Cold, Wet Weather

    What is the install surface?
  16. Am I the crazy one?

    Man some people get worked up...:rolleyes: OP: You already said you would redo it for free, which I agree with. Virtually any proof should show the dimension of the sign, letters, etc. In this case, the letter height and width should be called out on the art.
  17. One of those days (weeks)...

    I'm glad this week (especially today) is over. Ordered a set of dimensional letters a couple of weeks ago for a customer. We get a three day ice storm and somehow the circuitry on their router fried. Job is delayed. Aluminum supplier is behind on shipping due to the storm. Job is delayed even...
  18. Taking my dog for her last walk around the lake.

    It's the worst. I went through that a little while back...had my girl for almost fourteen years from they time she was about ten weeks old. I did the same thing you did - took her on one last walk and she 'smiled' like she always did the whole time...she didn't know anything was wrong. Remember...
  19. Silicone...

    Ah...that stinks. If you need it and can find it, it's a great deal. Unfortunately I just bought a case from an online vendor and paid more than what these come out to.
