Ooops. I missed this... If you used VHB in combination with adhesive, you don't have to worry about setting time or clamping, the VHB will hold it place while it sets...

Similar to what Moze said, I have installers put tape around the perimeter of the angle, then fill the void with Lords Adhesive. I'm not a big fan of applying it to the actual post. Most of the signs I work with occasionally need to be serviced... usually graffiti or reprints from fading...

No... really... HUH????

Huh?

I've designed thousands of signs using angles, VHB/Lords and then mechanically attaching to posts with no issues. Just make sure your paint job is good. The paint will give way before the VHB will. Had someone recently try to pull a panel off, without using angles, they bent it up, but...

Whoopie, let's all work for free!

C'mon now, that article is about the size of most of your responses and we all read them...:rolleyes:

If the artist is unknown or can't be found, does that mean their rights do not exist? It's called orphan works, there was a bill that would have allowed some use of work/design that was no longer being claimed by the designer but the bill died. If you did not design it, don't use it...

I usually don't like the color spectrum look but d@mn that looks fine! I want to take a bite off those letters!

THIS.... :goodpost: Usually this type of thing is layout... The client does not automatically know the rules unless you spell it out for them. Another thing is... you did way too much work. I'm guessing they did not have a logo? I think what you did was "design" If they don't...

and a booger flick!!!!

Just wanted to add that the method I described does not require welding. You fufeehead!!! (just wanted to make you feel welcome)

How many dimensional panels have you made with aluminum frame and sheeting? As the article spells out, this way of making a large sign is a "cost effective" way of making a sign... I translate as a cheap way to make a sale. I get that making any sale is the goal of most sign shops. But...

I don't know if you are just replacing a sign or this is a remodel of the area. From my understanding of your state (and mine) is that wood is a bad idea. you might be required to use fire rated materials in a hospital.

Forget that it's a Corel tutorial, it's a great design tutorial! Most of these types of tutorials are in Illustrator. I'm an Illy user myself, nice to see someone taking the time to teach users design In Corel. Great seeing your process.

Don't rivet! Make an aluminum frame, skin it with aluminum panel with Lords Adhesive....

First, I would never use ACM or Amualite for "pan" or dimensional panels. You might want to think about hidden attachments, rivets, exposed hardware of any kind looks cheap unless it's somehow incorporated into the design. I would use an aluminum panel. Use angle at the edges, when you...

I saw hops and thought the solution was clever... For full disclosure, I'm also a big fan of ohbeutifulbeer.com, artichokes and brussel sprouts.

...was wondering how they turned out. They turned out really good.
