  1. What's your experience with ZeorNine Metallic Silver (F202)?

    I have used it, but we frog juice everything that goes outdoors. Have you taken a look at them to see how they look after a few years?
  2. 4x8 post and panel install. Concrete or not?

    I do 4x8s on 4X4 posts with a bag of crete in each hole and never had a problem. 6x6 with crete is going nowhere. When I first started the guy I worked for never used concrete for jobs like that, 36" deep holes and compact the hell out of the fill (which always had rocks), concrete is easier...

  6. Suggestions need suggestions on walnut sign

    Walnut is not a good material for an outside sign. I have made many wood signs over the years and have had good luck making them last with 2 part marine varnish, but it is still risky. Also, what's the point of using a material like this for an exterior sign that has to be legible from 30 feet...
  7. Suggestions need suggestions on walnut sign

    Gold leaf for the letters would be my choice. Or a dark stain on either the background or the copy. The difficulty is keeping the stain/leaf where you want it. For leaf or paint I would seal & clear coat the whole thing first.

  11. Safety sticker trademark or royalty question.

    For safety stickers...or ever? In 40 years, never. Only two issues I know of personally was a store I did that had to change their name because it was trademarked by a TV show and a mural artist who I did some text patterns for who copied a famous painters work.
  12. Question Best Adhesive Remover ?

    We have an assortment...Rapid Remover, Goop, 900 (from auto paint supplier, some spray cleaner from our dust off supplier that works really well, ...there's a whole shelf of stuff. Seems like one cleaner isn't effective on everything.
  13. Question de-installing live signage

    Checking whether the wires are live or not is first. Then if a disconnect can't be found on the sign it's time to find the breaker. When turning off a breaker a piece of tape with a warning to leave off is an easy safety step if you don't have "lock out/tag out" kits. And I have had to deal with...

    I have a client who is replacing a dozen or so windows that have a separate arch piece on top, about 24"x24". They want to have black and white photos etched into those pieces. I've done a little research but most of what I see looks like it's for interior projects. They did say they would be...
