Try doing your prepping in smaller sections and don't let your cleaning agents air dry. Make sure you dry it ALL by hand before moving on for cleaning the next area.

Til you go to all the trouble of trying to bring an old sign back to life, then painting/buffing it it's gonna cost about the same as a new panel. Are you sure the ghosting you're seeing is the old vinyl or where the sun hit it and hasn't dulled as fast as the exposed portions ??

Don't encourage him. We'll just read his drivel for days to come............................................. :banghead:

You'll need a huge screen, popcorn and some beverages while watching. Should be a fun day or two.

Just did it. Took longer to import than anything else. No cleanup needed, either.

It can cause a haze.

Razor blade will work. Done it myself a few times, just be careful, use the right angle and be sure it's a metal blade.

Geeze, I had it wrong all these years. I thought the idea was to make money. Not squeak by. Tell ya what, you figure it out and make 'em as cheap as ya can and I'll keep doing them how I'm used to and not work like a fool. $3.00 each and packing & shipping is free..... oh and the monkey...

It's not about good advice, but we're been around the block a time or two or 64. No need to make this thing withstand a cat 4 hurricane, but you're out near tornado alley. You might wanna consider what high winds come through and make your decision based off of that. Even around here, we get...

Looks like that one oval is showing some boobie

Put two more uprights in there and use proper screws. Over time, no tape is gonna hold a 4 x 8 in that set up...... not professionally. Ya need about 12 physical fasteners to do it right.... or go home. Don't matter what the client wants, it's what is needed is the final answer. Also, I'd...

In that case, chewing gum would be preferable. But as long as it's borrowed, he could try some borrowed pop rivets.

Rather large pop rivets.
