  1. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    yes, I don't believe he had a permit for that large sign. Yes, it is huge, very noticeable at night lit up to travelers going east/west on NYS Thruway. Perhaps a more politically balanced message would have had both candidates' names, and the word Vote.
  2. what paint to use for adhesive vinyl

    Please be careful when you sand it, there may be lead in the paint. I still use Oil base enamels, usually the bulletin enamels. Longer dry process. I then letter with good cast vinyl.

  10. Plywood Yard Art

    That is not the product I referenced, UV Aquathane water based would be the product, yes it dries to a pretty hard finish unless you put it on to thick.
  11. Plywood Yard Art

    I recommend mdo if you can find, plywood outdoors is mostly shorter term from my experience. I use a lot of mdo, prime with water based Zinser, or Kilz. Topcoat with Ronan bulltin enamel oil base, clear with Ronan UV Absorber when fully cured. The oil enamel dries longer this may not work for...

    I like your style.

    I do what Jeff describes, has worked for me also.
  16. One Shot Question, rolling, coating MDO, dust in finish
