Thanks--- i am getting the picture. As far as 2 part auto clearcoats, is there a matte finish option that will give long-term outdoor uv protection? is it better by far than clearshield UV... which adds a few years?

So I have some panels to make... probably will be flatbed to ACS... and i am wondering if anyone has come up with a rigid clear plastic panel that could simply be sandwiched over the ACS (with edge moldings) to provide long-term outdoor UV resistance. This could be pretty thick if it has good...

I need a couple of 1 sided sign cans with lighting to hang in some windows. They need to be about 10" tall by 40" wide. Snap frames with petg lenses would be OK. My old "go to's" went & gone. Who makes these now? Any help appreciated.

What did you use for an endmill? Flat or v-groove... and how deep did you go? Did it weaken the material noticeably... because the big 3 x 8 oval is going to be raised up on standoffs? Thanks

So we are doing a 1 sided brushed Aluminum 1/8" thick ACS sign with raised letters. Sign is a 3' x 8' oval. Client needs us to add an inline (like 1/4" or 1/8") about an inch in from the outer edge of the oval. We are thinking that we could rout away the aluminum to leave the black core...

THAT"S IT!!!!! Thank you JR!

I am usually only a few clicks behind the typo-demons on this site, but this one has me totally stumped. it seems so simple, like I have seen it a million times, but I am not computing! Any help will be much appreciated. Both the white letters and the black--- if you know. Thanks John

I run a 5500 every day and they are great machines! The PS is particularly great, but once there is an electrical issue (such as fried board) they are pretty much toast. It seems that all of the electronics kind of die together. If you are thinking of getting into the 5500s, I would take this...

I really like Essentra's DK FILM Tape for non-woven fabric.

Thanks Mosh--- my experience also. But WHAT LATEX PAINTS are vinyl letter friendly???? WHAT LATEX PAINTS WORK????

Hi everybody- Just looking for some tips as we are looking at a bunch of 6' circumference columns that need to be painted and lettered... or wrapped. It would be way easier and cost-effective to apply vinyl to the painted surface (just a 1' x 7' vertical word on a solid color)... but how do I...

I think it is time to see this mess:

So I notice that nobody is talking about computer cutting 600 characters and a 2-COLOR logo. Even if you can get a $75 board... what do you charge for a tight packed vinyl applcation?

We pay $160 for painted blank delivered. Guess it's just where you are...

If I go out of pocket $250, to keep the door swinging I need to charge $500.

Wait a second- If I am out of pocket $250 (vinyl from 365 and prepainted board ($160 up here) my shopkeeper self wants at least $500 just for the transaction. Add in a couple hours to admin & layout the panel... how is $700 high? I am thinking $700 makes sense for the vinyl letters as well...

OK Johnny! Doing it that way, I am out of pocket $250. All I need to do is spend an hour admin & setup, then another laying on the controltac (using a prepainted 1/2" plywood RTG panel). So what? Like $700 to make it worth my while? OK- now they want me to quote vinyl... out of pocket say...

The spec for the quote is vinyl letters. Took a look at the pricing section... looks like nobody goes there... most recent post was February.

Just got a RFP for a Dept. Ag construction sign, and if we get the job we will have the pleasure of not only cutting 45, prez of US... but also Sonny Perdue, Sec of AG. So much winning! Anyway--- they want standard plywood 4 x 8 (Marine Grade or equiv) and this sucker has 600 characters and a...

Does anyone have a good source for decorative installation hardware for signs? I love the Sign Bracket Store, but how about for smaller aluminum, iron and steel pieces with scrollwork? Is there a catalog or online source?
