Man that layout sucks lol. You really need 4 ft from the curb to have any chance for the sign to survive. Lots of people backing trucks in to spots nowadays but probably not as big of an issue with handicap spots but you never know. I would install that sign on the glass. Cut a piece of...

We do sort of the opposite of what you are doing as in applying thin aluminum to acrylic instead of the other way around. We use 3M 468. Definitely scuff or sand both sides of the material where the tape will end up, clean with alcohol and wipe until dry. We cut both pieces separately and...

Uline has cardboard corner protectors that work well, seems like most damage is to corners. Only issue is when you try and stack up a bunch of panels with corner protectors on you can tweak panels pretty easy if you are not careful. That and rolls of 1/8" foam sheeting to cover the faces.

I'm not sure there is a way to get the edge of 2447 to not look dark when it is not illuminated. I agree that the black back of that film is just making it worse. Does light up nice though! Only option I would consider would be to apply painted aluminum faces to the front of the acrylic. We...

We have done a few sign cabinets with a solar setup. Purchased kits from Mr. Solar online. They will custom build a setup based on your total wattage and desired illumination time. The controller and batteries will be in a NEMA enclosure that mounts to the pole where you will mount your solar...

When printing large sheets of back printed acrylic we will spray Grip Guard VPS-1 adhesion promoter on the entire sheet prior to printing. Works great, don't have any issue with chipping when that sheet goes to the router for cutting.

A couple of things: 1) If you are producing exterior signage with vinyl you need to make sure it is a high performance cast vinyl. The dual view vinyl Signs 365 sells is double sided window graphics with a low tack removable adhesive so hopefully you are not using that and you are just mixed...

We have used both extensively. We have used 7328 1/2" white for letters and it works great but it does look different than clear with white translucent vinyl faces. 7328 white is much less bright and you get some darker shadows around the edges and corners. Doesn't look bad, just different...

With that thin of a stroke I would do either flat cut or cast aluminum, especially if they are on standoffs as they are in this application. Looks to me like those are a cast product, you can see the slight bevel on the edge and they are probably around 3/4" thick with isn't real cost effective...

Looks like AlumaMark satin brass or satin bronze material with vinyl graphics. One of the brands Johnson Plastics carries. It could be a solid metal piece like a kick plate someone mentioned or a metal laminate from Wilson Art but those are big sheets and expensive. Seems hard to justify...

Our very first piece of CNC equipment was an AXYZ 4008 router. Basic, no tool changer, mist system for aluminum cutting. It was a decent machine, didn't have a lot of problems with it. Not very fast but it was pretty old tech as far as routers go. Their new machines look really nice and I...

We buy our parts from PDS Equipment. They have a large inventory of parts and ink and will ship quickly. We purchased out Mimaki flatbed from them and they have done all of our service as well when needed.

Are you using the 'send to Enroute' button on the Flexi header or are you trying to export a flexi file as an Enroute file? Occasionally we have issues trying to import files into Enroute. Sometimes you have to fix that stuff in Flexi first then send it to Enroute. Also as astro8 posted check...

In Flexi, you can select a shape, then under the 'Edit' tab, drop down to 'Job Statistics'. It will bring up a chart that lists height, width, area, perimeter etc. You can also group a bunch of letters together and it will give you the stats as a group as well.

Visual and Tactile Requirements on Single Sign Tactile signs must have raised characters that are repeated in Grade 2 braille. In addition, they are subject to requirements for non-glare finish and color contrast for visual accessibility. Other information provided in addition to permanent...

If you scuff up the back of the dibond sheet, silicone will be a permanent adhesive option. My concern would be the wood. Plywood tends to delaminate over time especially outside where it is exposed to moisture. I would definitely properly prepare and paint the wood prior to bonding the...

We cut push thrus with vinyl faces all the time. 3/16" single spiral flute up cut bit. We mask the vinyl with normal vinyl application tape and just leave the tape on the vinyl after we apply it to the acrylic sheet. If it is a sharp bit you should get a nice clean cut on the acylic and the...

www.mcloone.com They do exactly what you are looking for. Had them make some printed metal foil decals as well and they turned out great.

We did something similar when we needed to attach some RPC aluminum letters to glass front building for a customer. We bonded full letter backs to the windows with smaller pieces of a specific VHB tape and used window glazing silicone specifically made for bonding windows. The area of the...

We hang alot of ACM panels (building numbers and such) with some home made stud cleats. We stud weld aluminum studs onto .040 aluminum cleats, mostly 2" wide and 4" tall. Apply a couple strips of VHB tape to back of cleat. You can then apply that cleat to the back of an ACM panel. That stud...
