I'm researching doing some stand-off cut-out letters for a church. The letters will either be cut out of solid brushed aluminum cut from something like 1/4'' aluminum plate or we may use some of the brushed aluminum faced aluminum composite material. They want LED's behind the letters for a halo...

Grimco is out of some of the letter track I need. So I checked with "Sign Letter Depot" . no email replies, no phone on their website, googled a number and no answer. They seem to be either on vacation or closed down. I checked with another outfit "National Readerboard supply" and it would cost...

Customer wants his logo put on the doors of his Humvee. only problem is the doors are covered in some kind of "canvas" which seems to have been painted black but the "fabric" texture is still quite prominent so I don't think vinyl is going to work. What kind of paint would you suggest for...

I have a couple spots of "U-Line" #623 sandblast stencil lifting off some HDU. I had taken it to the local monument company for blasting and the blaster-guy didn't catch it in time before it was "GrainFraimed" under the letter. Now I have to either carve it down, or built the place back up with...

What is the best way to attach a 4x5 shape, cut out of 6mm ACM, onto an outside wall without fasteners showing on the front? If there is a way. Thanks

Trying to cut some large pieces of sandblast stencil and the stuff is, of course, much heavier than vinyl. Is there a way to reset the "rapids" on this cutter so that, between cuts, the thing doesn't lose registration from all the snatching when the grit shaft shoots it back and forth? Tech...

I rolled some latex primer (Zinser 1 2 3) on some slightly rough PT timbers and need to take it off. What is the best/easiest/fastest paint stripper for this? Is there something that can be applied and "hosed off"? It was just put on Saturday, thanks!

I've used several brands over the years; Signfoam, Precision Board, Evergreen, Duna, DesignBoard and maybe a couple others. The best bang for my buck was DesignBoard. I've made quite a few signs with it, many have been out in the weather for quite a few years, and never had any problems. But...

If you designed and built a detailed dimensional sign for a municipality, and there are still three other signs just like it which they want it to match, then 10 years later the sign gets destroyed and the client asks you to quote on building another but it is going to be quoted by two other...

I have a customer who wants me to sandblast some kind of pattern/mold whatever, that he can press into beach sand to imprint words. I tried to talk him into going with CNC routed but he thinks he wants sandblasted and he wants it done in Extira. Has anyone ever blasted this stuff before? Thanks

Planning to install some router-cut "Dibond" letters to a sheetrock wall(as in the photo) using 3M double-faced tape. How would you prepare your pattern to install these? Thanks

For anyone who has built a timber-frame sign structure; If you made this frame out of 8''x8'' pressure treated pine timbers, what kind of joints would you use? Lap joints? Also, the arch will need to be from laminated 8x8's. Have you ever used Gorilla Glue to laminate PT wood? What about West...

Ok, I;ve been using an Ioline plotter for the past 22 years. Got this Mimaki CG SRIII and the "Fine Cut" wizard thingy I loaded in CorelDraw only accepts EMF's. Why does the EMF not retain it's size after exporting from another program? Like, I export a file 10''x20'' from SW6.0 and it imports...

Guy comes into my shop, wants to write me a check for my services, have me sign the back of the check and hand it back to him, then he wants to pay me in cash? What was he trying to pull? In my 22 years in business I've never encountered anything like this before. Thanks
