Everything is set up. The plasma table is ready to cut the frame pieces. Then I'll clean, prime and paint them or perhaps take it to a powder coating place and be done with it. The 20# HDU precision board is here. I have to tweak the cut file a bit but essentially I am ready to go. Then...

Are these letter raised off of the wall surface, or is the lexan extending beyond the letters and lit on the edges, with the lexan against the drywall? Your post is not really clear.

To get a clean look without a strip of metal folded over the edge, think about cementing a ring of polycarbonate or plexiglass to the back of the sign substrate that fits JUST inside of the can. You can make the ring first to make sure it fits into the can and comes flush to the front edge...

I have painted PVC. It looks great, but the paint doesn't seem to stick well. Perhaps I used the wrong paint? I do like routing PVC boards, but for this sign for a friend (and subsequent orders from neighbors in the same part of the town) I will use the HDU. I ordered 20# Precision Board in...

I fail to understand the purpose of posting your private message to me on this public forum. But you're right. Paint DOESN'T peel...

Thank you. See, I know what I used to use to paint WOOD signs, but I haven't worked with HDU yet. Apparently there is no appreciable difference in the paints used, or the application process. I don't know why people took my observation that paint peels as a personal attack. I didn't say the...

Hi Dave, Well, not for THIS project, as I believe a nice satin or "eggshell" finish would work best for estate signs. However, I see HDU props at trade shows that have a very high gloss finish, and I am wondering, do they spray it with resin, or ??? Signs are only one of my interests. I am...

Don't worry. This is a poor area and a small community. If I didn't make these, they probably would not BE made. I am not taking any food off of your dinner plate. What "Accusations" ??? .

Wow! how many grumpy pills did you take this morning? Way to make a new member feel welcomed! I am not asking you to "hand" me anything. I just don't want to buy a lot of paint that I cannot use. With 675,000 miles of motorcycle riding experience under my belt both for pleasure and as a...

Lots of questions... I am jumping into dimensional sign making. I designed my first sign for a friend who lives in a historic part of town. Her sign is a "Circa ####" plaque with the address and "The (name) family" She saw the proof I designed in V-Carve PRO online and headed out to her...

I have never understood the animosity between similar businesses. I ran 888-BIKETOW for 13 years in southern California. I was the FIRST dedicated 24-hour motorcycle towing company to set up there, and in that time I saw four competitors crop up. I helped them get started, and even sent...

I'd cut it for you, but I live in Kentucky. I have a 5x10 CNC router table. If you needed a thousand of them or some quantity that would make sense to travel the distance, I could do it for you. Find some sign shop that has a ShopBot or another router table capable of cutting it for you.

Try rubbing alcohol.

Look for a font called VARSITY

It is just a CONCEPT. The neon is because I used a CNC table design program to throw it together. You are looking at cut paths for a plasma cutter. I did not suggest green neon, or anything. I was only PLAYING. Sheesh! some people are so touchy! :banghead:

or ... answer the phone and in a low voice, say... "It's done. but there is blood EVERYWHERE." Then hang up the phone.

When I know that a telemarketer is calling, I usually answer, "Hello! And thank you for calling! Please stay on the line to hear about a special offer chosen just for you!" Then I hang up the phone.

Wes, when I first saw it, I read, "Catered Image Vinyl"

Just playing with ideas...
