Very few materials can handle that environment, but if built well, an aluminum sign should last long enough for it's use. You really shouldn't expect any sign to last longer than 10 years in a that type of environment (and probably outlast the business) but I have seen a few last longer. I'd...

Though it is an improvement, it's only a slight improvement. I would think logo first, then lay the sign out with it. The proportions are awkward, "Louis" is kinda hard to read, too flat, needs some dimension, why just a box?

I can dupe them with my crimson buttocks... I was just thinking about the OP and his attitude... GG had the impression that I was giving her a hand slap on this very subject, but she didn't leave in a huff, and now we are best friends... the OP really has to lighten up...

She does have a cool welding helmet...

Oh, I just remembered what happens when you wear your hard hat in public... :ROFLMAO:

There's an idea, I'll have her take the test for me... she better bring her hard hat...

It can't be that hard with some of the mutant sign guys I have dealt with through the years... if they passed, I'm sure I can too.

Wow, I think you just wasted a lot of brain juice on all that... I kinda thought you have some good info there even if the delivery came with no lubrication. Responding to every knuckle-headed comment is going to ruin a perfectly good thread. I'm sure later on, someone doing a search would...

Technically, in California, you can't even sell a sign and sub out the install and permitting to a licensed installer. While it is "POSSIBLE" to get an electrical sign wholesale, then sub out the install and permitting, it's not legal and you can get fined, jailed and the customer does not have...

Does it have to be mounted to a backer? Can you mount directly to the brick, then the money you save, you can make the copy painted acrylic, and the logo brushed stainless steel or something... thats classy (whatever that means), clean and durable... You can take Moze's idea, and stand off...

Wait, Are we talking about the metal shop incident, the hard hat falling on your nugget, or the rake to the face? And that was just this past week! It's a miracle anything gets done. Back on topic, Yeah I say 2 days...

I agree, by the way, how's your head?

Can't we all just get along?

Question, are you putting this on some backer/raceway, or direct to the wall? 1/4" seems a little thin, I would use translucent white acrylic instead of white pvc, the edge would light up, and might decrease hot-spotting.

I would probably use SignComps retrofit extrusion, they use a clip system. http://www.signcomp.com/catalogs/commercial_catalog.pdf#page=13 Probably the one on the upper left.

I love pics of men enjoying their tool.
