I wouldn't think so. Unless the China Buffet can stay where it is, add the new sign above and remove the rest. And does patching mean just filling/blocking the holes? Because the wall is gonna look like crap without a full repaint.

I save cut files to a "Plot" folder so all the prm files are in there and I could empty the whole folder if needed. But there are also jobs I cut without saving and for those I can do a search for .prm files and then delete them

I agree. If it's going to have to have a natural wood stain finish I would clear the whole thing with a 2 part marine clear. Only thing I have used that holds up. Is the outline getting painted? (and don't clear over the finished sign, the only time gold leaf should be cleared is on a vehicle...

We haven't experienced the kind of adhesion issues with mounting tape like you get with vinyl, but I would request that they don't use one of those "scrubbable" paints.

Wow, letraset...that's a blast from the past. Thanks John

If you're talking about residential installs good luck. There's a company here that specializes in it, they burn through a lot of installers because the money sucks. They hire guys with a pick up and a strong back. You see lots of leaning posts. Everyone does Real Estate when they're starting...

I posted one on craigslist and a guy took it. Was going to try to fix it for his sister to do some art stuff with it

Pretty sure it was a hand lettered but anyone have a font that is close? Thanks Did you see the one where Papa Smurf took a crutch and smashed the sh*t out of a guy with a red hat? Did you see that one? You want to see that one?”

You mean the one with this doctor? https://www.thedailybeast.com/stella-immanuel-trumps-new-covid-doctor-believes-in-alien-dna-demon-sperm-and-hydroxychloroquine

Yep, a real eyesore. You can remove the existing fabric and have an awning company make a new one.

If I wanted it to be really strong I would do two layers of 3mm bonded together with the seam flipped. Or use MDO and biscuits.

Since I started this in March (seems a lifetime ago) I will follow up by saying we have tried Briteline and are satisfied with it. Also I am using this mostly for cast, calendared and reflective cut vinyl lettering and Edge printed/cut graphics, so the air egress issue doesn't come up for us.

Shoes are just angle brackets. You can us aluminum angle cut to length or bend .080. Mount to wall with bolts and screw into edge. Cleats are good too.

Yep, we usually just do the bottom inch of the pattern, or if the design requires more precision, the top and bottom inch. Just keep the tape out of this area and the thickness of the tape should allow the pattern to slide out

No backer need for a wall mount. I would do shoes. That way I could be sure I'm getting a solid connection without messing around with the face or studs. I'd do a few test drills and could always go with toggles if needed. Number of shoes would depend on how securely I got them set. And...

Lots of things you can look at, existing competition Like John said, but also the existing businesses. Be nice to pick an area that has some strong economic roots and especially a good mix of them in different fields. This craziness has shown that no business is a safe bet.

How about a rail mount of some sort and hanging it in front of the wall with clear line?

I also agree, the vhb/lexel combo is really strong. just be sure the surface is clean.

We use standard .080 blanks & pop rivet or VHB sign track. You can also get steel blanks and do it with magnets. I have to raise my prices.

You say aluminum cladidng, so is it ribbed? If it is you could consider rail mounting. If it's smooth I'd be fine w/VHB & lexel.
