Hi All, So we are working on a couple push though clear acrylic lobby signs. Before we begin final assembly I have a few concern with the edge lighting on the letters. I wanted run this by you all before we begin the final assembly. I have attached a picture of the cabinet for reference...

So I really put the Weld On to the test. As the picture shows the materials have chemically welded and it took a full force whack to break off this piece. I'm rolling with the Weld On. Thank you guys for the advice it's greatly appreciated.

Agreed. Not worth all the extra work. Think we'll just shoot em.

I have never had issue with 3/4 PVC warping if properly installed. 1/2"....no go!, but the thick stuff with proper stud placement and wall adhesion we have never had an issue.

1" acrylic is a killer! If this wasn't family I would not use "creative" license for this experiment. My first proposal to them was Gemi letters. After my markup they are 30% more expensive than these can be. And my margins were 20% less on top of that. Plus in my opinion these will be far...

I think painting will be the best bet as well. I have leafed pvc many times but the process is time consuming. Seal edge, prime, sand, prime, sand, then finally leaf. In this instance, since the edge is not the most dominant element of the work leafing is probably overkill. Thank you!

Really enjoy this forum and all the knowledge shared by like minded craftsman. Here is my challenge and my current plan. I am looking for any guidance or insight that may prevent me from trouble down the road. The Job: 19mm PVC letter set with a routed accent, the edges with be leafed...

I am thinking neon is probably the best bet too. Really would prefer to keep in this in house though, and Neon is something we don't do. I attached a photo of the monument and you can see the panels on the lower end of the signage. I was thinking of making cabinet/boxes with 2-100 Watt 24"...

Hi all, So, I am working on remolding some monument signage for a doctors office. At the bottom of the monument sign there are a couple of neon "Doctor is in" tubes. They utilize these when the office is open for business. When the office is closed the lights are blacked out. The space...

Hi All, We are looking to ad some new equipment and have in narrowed down to a laser engraver or embroidery machine. We currently provide apperel services (screen printing, presses) as well as trophy and plaque services (sublimation) so both these machines are a fit to continue to expand on...
