  1. Installation help

    I agree 100%.
  2. Installation help

    I think I misinderstood your post. For some reason I read it as you were going to install vertical angle iron at the ends and that's all the sign was going to be fastened to. If you run horizontal angle iron stringers (like I think you meant), you should be fine. If you're attaching to...
  3. Installation help

    You're going to need to build a complete frame due to windload. I would assume you need to get a permit (?). If so, they're going to want to see drawings showing the framing/attachment method is sufficient. ''Above All'' is going to look funny at the bottom of the sign. :)
  4. Layering printed words over non-printed vinyl

    Your labor installing multiple pieces is going to cost the customer more than having it printed as one piece.
  5. How to position reverse halo lit and front lit letters?

    There are two ways to do accomplish what you're looking for. The first, assuming you're using the same color for the front and back, is to mount your LED's to clear polycarbonate backs so that they're toward the face. The light will still reflect off the returns and the face enough to provide...
  6. Looking for a post and panel

    I would guess it's custom-made. I doubt you'll find an off-the-shelf product that matches that.
  7. Electric sign recommendations

    I would recommend DeNyse. Ask for Allen or David. www.denyseco.com
  8. Backlit signs for Gas Station

    .177" white polycarbonate with 1st surface vinyl. Easy cheesy.
  9. Does this sign criteria make sense to you?

    I would assume they mean they don't want lettering painted directly on the wall.
  10. Does this sign criteria make sense to you?

    I'm betting it means the RCL's need to have acrylic backs. On RCL's its not unheard of for the backs to be referred to as ''faces''.
  11. Our job is done on this monument sign

    What is the extension cord going to?
  12. Installers what do you you keep in your bag

    What goes in the tote depends on what's getting installed. What's on my truck: Craftsman Nextec 12v Oscillating Tool Craftsman Nextec 12v Drill Craftsman Nextec 12v Right Angle Impact Rockwell 12v SDS Rotary Hammer Rockwell 12v Oscillating Tool DeWalt 20v SDS Rotary Hammer DeWalt 20v Recip Saw...

    Reduce the size.
  14. Canned Air...

    Thanks for the link. I usually stock up at Fry's - they have three cans for like $9 or some such thing. I was just looking at portable air tanks on Amazon. I think I may go with one of those and a telescoping blow gun. Thanks for the ideas!
  15. Canned Air...

    I can't believe something on the internet was WRONG, but apparently the method shown in the video is useless due to the cans originally being filled with a gas called tetrafluroethane which explains how so much air comes out of such a small can.
  16. Canned Air...

    Looks like a nice product for sure. For large jobs though, the canned air is hard to beat. Cleaning out 100 holes or more as well as dust from the wall itself is fairly quick with canned air due to the force of the air. That'd be a lot of squeezing with a bulb...! The photo below is an install...
  17. Canned Air...

    Not blowing the holes out weakens the bond of the silicone. The silicone has a layer of dust around it rather than adhering directly to the material you drilled into. I'm assuming you know that and are joking though...
  18. Canned Air...

    This little experiment failed miserably, by the way. I'm not sure how the cans are filled at the factory, but I wasn't able to fill it with more than enough for a couple of blasts. Oh well, back to Fry's for some more.
  19. Foam painted letters

    These guys do nice work.
  20. For you bacon fanatics...
