I think the weighted 55 Gal drum may actually be too much weight in one spot and too hard to undo. I would go for a heavy duty "sled" sign. Couple 6"x6" for the runners and at leas 4"x4" for the structure. The 6"x6" can be cut at an angle so it could be pulled like a sled. They can add sand...

Why cleats? Is that sketch from 2010 the sign that's going up? Will the wall have a stone veneer? Personally I would go with clips, especially if it's stone veneer. That way you can make a template of the sign shape hold it up to the wall and mark where the clips would go avoiding any spots that...

I like the gerber guard barrier coat idea. Lots of times when having this issues and doing multiple passes the foil starts to look flaky

Yep, probably ruined the paint. I always give a sheet about care with magnets

I've been getting a lot of offers for unsecured loans lately. Sometimes I'll get into a discussion about what an unsecured loan means and what can they do if I don't pay it back.

I put thm on craigslist for $100 for repair or parts

Good detective work. If it was also the side that was in the sun during the day it was getting steam cleaned.

"Say he gets someone else to hang it, can it still come back on me because I made it?" Probably not, but I'm not a real sign lawyer but I have slept in a Holiday Inn, and they used to have cool signs :roflmao:

Acrylic with jewelite trim. Take a rubbing of ends of face to get shape.

I don't like lusterboard and alumalite is too light for a sign like that. A hanging sign should have some weight to it so it doesn't swing wildly in a wind. An option would be 3/4" MDO, properly painted and then apply the prints. Don't get involved with hanging it. Too many issues with...

What kind of laminator do you have?

had to look it up, cypress and Metalex Wood Protector. Just use the wood protector. With these types of products here it is recommended to apply another coat every few years.

What kind of wood? Routed and all left raw? What kind finish is the client expecting? Sometimes it's best to use a clear or semi-transparent sealer/preservative. But I've also done 2 part marine clear. Depends on the job.

If it was painted he'd complain it had brush marks. I'd replace and never answer his call again

Nice job adapting the stock bracket with the added plate for wall mounting. But what'd you use for hardware. Also, I hate more than one link to hang a sign, anymore than that and I use a strap not chain. Less whipping action in the wind. Looks like a low rent neighborhood but like other have...

Wouldn't let it bother me. Sounds like the rest of the VFW knows what the guy is. And I'd be way more without having to edit files

I was just thinking how much I'd like to do some of that work, miss it. But nowhere near you.

I've used this type with good success in brick. I wouldn't use tapcon or any screw in anchor in that material. I would also consider guy wires. I also don't like standard brackets set ups and have had a welder make a brackets with a large wall plate that so i can have a alrger surface and 4 or...

Laminating can make it easier to handle. When we do jobs like this we usually use color change vinyls.

Not sure I understand, you are applying laminate to windows and the salesman says you should laminate it? Why are you applying laminate to windows?
