There are is at least one company that advertise in one sign magazines for doing the necessary documents. Other than that I would hit the "Yellow Pages" and find an engineer that will work with you. It's one of my gripes that the cost of a permit can easily exceed the cost of the job in some...

I agree with Gary. A strap up the side, 2" wide would be nice. Round the top edges and drill a hole for hanging. depending on the sign design it could be made to look industrial, paint it black and use some lags to fasten it. And on that topic I would use at least three lags on each side and...

I saw these two signs were still up after 30 years, done while I worked at Morgan Sign CO (now gone). The electric sign face is cut out red & black acrylic pinned to a white acrylic face. The face details were hand painted with black one shot. The other sign is .040 aluminum all hand lettered...

uhh....none. Vinyl doesn't like wood unless it's been painted, in which case there are other materials to consider. When you say wood signs around sign makers you are referencing carved, sandblasted or natural plank backgrounds. Good luck.

If you're meeting specs, you better know what they are. If they just want "reflective' engineer grade is fine, even printed.

We buy 6" rolls of Reflexite

If you're really interested in hand crafted wood signs here is a great course to take. http://www.paulwhitewoodcarving.com/school.htm

Nice looking signs, very classy

Lesson learned, use them for interior only.

There a few books out there about getting into the sign business, try Signcraft magazines website and Ebay. And did you ever think about getting a job in a sign shop to see what's involved? Or you could buy a franchise.

If applying prints I like to use black pvc for a job like this, looks so much better than a white edge.

We have an extended cab F150 with 8' bed. A full size ladder rack that extends over the roof. We have top mount tool boxes. This has worked well.

Lowes sells Lexal here.

Good to know Gary. We have handled some pretty miserable materials supplied by customers so I think we could handle it if that's the way we go.

That looks interesting, wish it was 60" though.

Hi Gary The IJ35C looks like a possibility, have you ever used it without laminating or transfer tape? We will be able to lay the panel down on a table while we work on them.

I have a project where I need to cover aprx 12 existing gatorfoam panels with white vinyl. They interior and are 60"x68" and smooth. I have to use something that is opaque. So I need something 60" wide, but I guess I could live with seams if absolutely necessary, but would prefer not to. I don't...

another vote for Lexal.

I'd get a price on a double layer translucent print, apply it to white lexan or acrylic.

Ask around, maybe some customers, other businesses, your accountant to see who else is available. We use a local service started by a former ADP employee, they are reasonably priced and very responsive to special requests.
