  5. Newbie needs help with backlit sign

    :banghead: well i see a few issues but i'll stick to the question asked. myself here is what i would do (again sticking to the ? asked) i would cut black vinyl removing the text and outline and apply wet to WHITE polycarb. i would then cut the text and apply... again just sticking to...
  6. Need help

    i really dont think sealing the edges will help. personally at this point i would be really concerned about the longevity of this sign and even if you can get the vinyl to lay down i would still be concerned for the future and worried that the client got the amount of time out of the sign...

  8. Need advice on adhering painted letters.

    it sounds like chemical fastening is fine for this project but i am a fan of overbuilding just about everything, it makes me sleep a whole lot better when those storms, earthquakes, vandalism, etc happen....so if possible i always try to use both mechanical and chemical fasteners if possible...
  9. Need help

    for the price of materials i would have chosen an aluminum composite material (dibond, nupoly, etc) over MDO but that doesnt help you at teh moment. my questions would be was the latex well cured? i really do not like applying vinyl over latex paint and have had problems with some brands if...

    i know more than a couple sign guys who have purchased routers and the ONLY thing that they do anymore is work for other sign shops who do not have routers. if you have a local ma & pa sign supply company it may be worth setting up a deal where they sell custom cut substrates, i know a few...

  17. paint questions

    you can paint enamel over acryllic but you can not always go the other direction. i have had great success over the years refinishing older sandblasted signs. .. in my experience put your energy into the sign before it is time for paint (sanding, filling voids, etc) i have no opinion in...
