  1. Suggestions which vinyl to use on back-lit sign

    If it's the whole thing I would do a day/night print. Then when they change they could possibly knife out the panel getting changed.
  2. MDO Edges

    We tried it all over the years. Exterior wood glue, paintable chaulk, epoxy...they all were about the same.
  3. Suggestions Clear tint paint over brushed aluminum

    I would try a place like this. They have helped me out with custom color rattle can paints. They may be able to a transparent paint. https://www.myperfectcolor.com/About-us/5.htm
  4. Suggestions Clear tint paint over brushed aluminum

    How big are they? I agree with spraying a tinted clear (sample first of course). If they're small finding a rattle can with the right look would be great. Bigger will require spraying. You can set up a temp "booth".
  5. Quality of aluminum composite material

    I haven't noticed any great differences when using it for flat panels. Those who bend it do, the cheaper grades crack and split. I know I worry about the manufacturer changing things without any real notice. The aluminum faced plywood was sold as a replacement for painted MDO and at first it was...
  6. Installing sign/frame to window mullions? Is it possible?

    I was thinking the same as Moze. Designed and fabricated well they would look good too
  7. Niche Market - I had an idea, what do you think?

    If the vehicle is registered and legally parked they usually can't do anything about it. It's done often enough.
  8. What to do about a failed install?

    "He's not my uncle. He's my uncle's brother" ???? doesn't that make him your uncle? Anyhow, it sounds like you should tell him if he buys a real graphic you will install.
  9. Need Help In need of a sign. lol

    Sounds to me like you just want to make the signs, and the clients install them. In that case outsource laminated digital prints and get substrates locally. It would be nice if there was someone carrying some of the composite panels that most sign shops use now, but if not use MDO as suggested...
  10. wondering about the process... burned sign panel? distressed and painted?

    So I was perusing some information on the process and an interesting tidbit was this is really only an effective longterm process with Japanese cedar. Other woods that are exposed to weather lose the effect. https://www.terramai.com/blog/faux-sugi-ban-charred-wood/
  11. What to do about a failed install?

    This is why I don't do two things 1. Install other peoples graphics (at least not without a specific agreement that I am not responsible if they don't work) 2. Work on people's vanity cars I am with those who say without a prior agreement you are responsible for replacing the graphics. But I...
  12. Vinyl to use for stickers like at StickerMule?

    General stickers are what the teacher gives you if you did good....sticky back printed on "paper". decals are vinyl and more permament
  13. wondering about the process... burned sign panel? distressed and painted?

    You're right, like it was painted then charred, but I think there would be a risk of that layer peeling off.
  14. wondering about the process... burned sign panel? distressed and painted?

    Cool sign! I saw this technique being used on a show about building off the grid
  15. Laminate HDU to HDU (&/or MDO) w Titebond ?

    So much easier to fabricate for interior installs where it lives in a controlled environment without direct sun and temperature swings.

    Beige over Kumquat looks closest to my eye Beige over Sunflower Yellow Beige over Trans Yellow
