So many variables, financial, emotional and others. When I started in this business it was with the idea of having a shop in the garage, a pick up and my dog...things went in another direction and there's no way to go back there now but it definitely is an appealing idea.

A picture would help...."L-frame" could be a few things

I was going to say flatbed print and then rout as has been mentioned. We just spray them, but I hate painting pvc, prefer to use acrylic if it's in the budget.

To do that type of work you'll need a sheet metal brake, and a shear would be nice too. They can be found used, but don't come cheap. The notches can be done with a hand punch or floor press. It also helps to have a finger brake. We have gotten by with an 8' brake and 4' shear, cutting larger...

I did a few years ago and they stuck OK, but no way would I give any gauranty, especially not 5 years, I wouldn't warranty vinyl on a box truck for 5 years. And last ones I looked at for a client seemed like vinyl would stick, but I told them the issues and they opted for having them done by the...

Yep....your mesh suggestion may work. Thanks.

Found one product designed for reverse install and to be printed on the adhesive side....Magic New Vue

60/40 or 70/30 but now that I'm searching I realize that I have to find one that is white (not black) on the back.

I was hoping to find something ready to apply off the roll. And yes they want it for privacy, but to still see thru and they like the way it looks and works. So if I applied regular unprinted perf to the inside of the glass it would work the same?

Yep, no need for acrylic if it's not illuminated, but if they want to spend more money for the wrong product more power to them

I have a client who wants to have some large store windows covered with window perf. They had some printed window perf on the outside but it got picked at too much so it is coming off. They still want the window perf but installed on the inside. I want to apply perf on the inside and then apply...

Yea, we did a bunch of private property signs on lexan because the metal ones were being stolen.

Probably made by the builder using it. Easy enough to replicate

single or double side

I thought they were patches over the original neon housings. Now that would kick ass, to put the neon back.

CNC, there are lots of people with printers and you can buy from wholesale places really cheap. But CNCs aren't as common, would be a lot more fun, and dimensional signs are a smaller and more profitable market.

We've done a few small ones. We used a stable substrate like ACM or MDO, glueing and screwing the old lumber to it. Sometimes adding old rusty bolts for effect thru the face. As far as fire proofing I do remember using some clear fire retardant "paint" back when I did theater scenery, probably...

I hate getting calls on jobs like this because it's a waste of my time unless the owner is willing to bring the frame up to "code".

Tony has been a great source of solutions over the year and a nice guy to meet in person. I hope he gets to enjoy a long and comfortable retirement.Gerber and it's employees are the ones that started the computer making sign industry, and they made some of best plotters and thermal printers...
