  2. replacing translucent face on SgnComp cabinet (flex face, or acrylic)

    so, the existing cabinet is 42" x 144" and has a flex face. The new client took over the commercial space, and needs to change the sign face. The cabinet is about 20 ft. up & in good condition. I've never had a close look at a flex face before, but I got up there & looked at, measured, and...

    If I want to cut out letters to mount to a signboard, wall, or perhaps a second set of the letter, to double up thickness, or add a larger outline of a different color material.... ...I think I would like to apply sheet adhesive to the substrate before routing.

  4. trouble with a CNC cut gator foam product

    fortunately I am a much bigger fan of HDU, but it is pricey, and there are lots of cheaper foam letters on buildings around here, so a few years back, before I got my CNC, I sold a few sets of Gator Foam (Gator Board?) letters. One of the jobs had a real stylized font, with a heavy slant & the...
