  5. How to cut 20,000 reflective letters?

    Pat looking at your text the only real concern i'd have blowing and going (rip weeding) or using a sheeter would be the "E" and maybe the "L"s but with this many you could easily add a cut line from the top and bottom of the "E" to the next letter, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to put that...
