Signs are a whole different beast...take the article with a grain of salt.

I use a device "Call Blocker" when a spam call rings you press the big red button and that number is remembered, then when it calls the next time only ring once...done. For the one time ( around $60) purchase, its worth it. I had a call come in before I purchased it 7-8 times a day from the...

Thanks Tex, they definitely have been effective in expantion and contraction of the materials. By the way I neglected to say I pre-drilled the hole on the CNC & used SS coarse sheet metal screws.

SS screws. Built an 2" aluminum frame to match the thickness of the HDU carved sign above. I setup a jig on a my CNC for the routing oblong holes. Keep your screws a bit loose to allow movement of the tack. Works great, no dirt behind the tracks. Posts were painted a dk green in the spring.

Thanks for your input Jean, I notice a few have commented about using FC 88. I have used this and it is a good primer but I am not seeing the primer as a problem since the blue panel was UMA Bonding primer on Alupanel and only the finish coats bubbled and though it cam off harder and left a lot...

I also added photos og the carved camp sign with the trout. Once I brought it inside for an hour or so it flattened out. I plan on coating it with a water based clear on the green only, hoping to seal it. The strange thing is the trout I use all leftover behr colors from other jobs...some quite...

Thank you for the replies, I very mush appreciate them. I posted more photos, but I gotta say after being in this business (2nd generation) since 1978, I am clueless. If you look at my newly added photos, you will see the Jay cook primer is as hard and bonded to the substrate as you get. No...

Thanks for the input but with the alupanel had plenty of dry time also, all these pieces, the primer has not failed and or is pealing up.

Thanks for the input Gino but I do not think so. I can spray Behr flat and it is fine. Also never see any fish eyes spraying the UMA Bonding Primer on the Alupanel. If it was contamination it would show up as the panel was sprayed. I posted new photos for the Behr folks to analyze. You will see...

Yep that's a stretch....

On the Alupanel the finish coat peals up and leaves the primer and pretty mush on the HDU also. I never had failure with paint mask using the same paint????

Thank you Bill...I am totally bewildered at this. I also just placed a Alupanel that was primed with UMA Bonding Primer and coated with brand spanking new behr high gloss, sat in the shop for 2 weeks and after being in the rain for a few hours, it looks like a bad case of pimples?????? We have...

Has anyone had issues with Jay Cooks All Purpose Primer. Been in the sign business since 1978 and you'd think I was a beginner from these results. I have been using the same paint system for almost 15 years & never had a problem. Just cannot figure it. I haven't changed anything in my...
