I was thinking about the thread asking about finishing MDO and the general consensus was to use something else. For square/rectangle shapes there are lots of alternatives, but when a sign has to have a custom shape it's not as easy. The problem I have is that for larger signs, ACM is too thin...

Wyld Graphics https://wyldgfi.com/ They did a print with white on clear for me last year

I'd start with real magnetic board and print the the overlay with steel finish and graphics. There's probably a brush stainless fill out there that would work. Every layer of vinyl reduces the magnetic pull

Like I mentioned, sometimes we bond two sheets of 6mm, great if you need a white or black background. Or we paint with two part auto paint, or sheet with vinyl. For smaller signs I'll use 1/2", 3/4" or even 1" PVC. But pvc has it's own issues. Have to evaluate the job and pick whatever works...

We used to make tons of shaped MDO signs. Used exterior patch to fill holes, one thin coat of oil based primer on the edge, then prime the whole thing. Two coats good oil base paint. We found the quality of mdo has gone down but still use it occasionally. We have also bonded two layers of 6mm...

I agree with Brad, nothing wrong with swinging signs, but they need to have some weight and little to no chain. If they need some length I use a solid steel strap instead of chain. You could bolt a sign hanger thru the straight bottom piece, and thru the mdo and use steel strap to connect. If...

We made ours. For a couple we bought a frame system, maybe from Grainger. Just make sure to get beefy locking wheels

Never seen it done that way, I think you're being asked to replicate a piece of cr*p. That first one looks like cut vinyl letters on a vinyl background with another layer of thick clear over it, makes no sense. The right way would be a full print with laminate. The particular vinyl/laminate...

Find business that need their sign refurbished, go in with a card and a smile and offer to give them a free quote if they ever want to refresh their sign

We stopped making our own a while ago. When I did I would sometimes make a plywood flap that locked into a piece on the other side.

You can install in winter. New trimcap is way more resilient than old letters. Keep the letters in a warm spot till right before you install

Thanks Mr Rex & Merry Christmas!

Another that I swore I knew and had...but no luck. Identifiers aren't working with it. Any ideas? thanks & Merry Christmas

We make them with 1x1" aluminum tube. But the fabric versions sure are quicker.

I put my boat anchors on craigslist cheap, as is. Someones always willing to take it.

We install in the winter. There are limitations, paint doesn't dry below zero so that has to be skipped till a better day. Digging can suck but the ground doesn't get as frozen as it used to. I have some great stories, installing a ground sign for a funeral home that had a drop deadline in near...

Thanks guys, I went with Magellan. It's pretty close for most of the letters. Sure looks better now.

Found a font with the weird serifs, not the same but I'll see if they will accept it

any suggestions on something close?

Does anyone recognize this? I think it's a font but so far no luck Thanks
