Hello, We work primarily with foamed PVC, usually cutting but in some cases routing with our Sharpcut. The routing debris adds up quickly. The shop vac provided fills up quickly -- even more so when using bags instead of the filter. Emptying the can is a horrible mess without the bags, due...

We work primarily with 3mm Palight Premium foamed PVC, masked on one side. We're accustomed to the static discharge when removing the mask. Our static bar on the printer, blowing some compressed air over it, and Louisiana humidity, eliminate any printing issues with static. Our problems are...

I have a customer that is looking to have us replace some foam PVC signage for a motel that they are in the process of fixing up.

I have a customer who wants 15"Tx8'W sign that will be suspended outdoors by the ends on two posts. Would 1/2" pvc sag over time or should it last? Is there a better choice of material? I will be eco-solvent printing onto adhesive vinyl and mounting to the preferred material.

I'm trying to make some signs for an apartment complex, I usually sandblast HDU but the design calls for PVC. My supplier is telling me that PVC is meant for short term but I see other signs that are made from PVC. Is there a special way to treat/prime/paint the PVC?

Hi Everyone, I have to glue 320ea, 10" high, 19mm thick PVC letters to a 13mm PVC backer. I would normally use 2-sided foam tape but I'm looking for a more efficient option. Would you recommend using a spray adhesive such as 3M 77 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive or 3M 90 Hi-Strength Spray...

I am looking to replace a wooden sign I once made with another identical one using PVC so its more weather resistant. It will also require being painted. I generally use acrylic on my wood signs and they are more for indoor use, but are there any steps I need to take when it comes to painting...

Morning Guys, one of my clients wants printed acrylic mounted on PVC for outdoor. I am looking for an adhesive that won't mess the UV ink when we apply it. Anyone has recommendations?

Hi, I know this has been discussed here before, and no good alternatives have come up so far. But the last post is already a couple of years old so I thought to ask again: Anyone know of a more eco-alternative to your basic wall art vinyl? So far we have tried Photo Tex, which is great IF we...

Are there other materials for signs suitable for outdoors which will last at least 2-3 years besides styrene? I've tested .080 styrene which I think will work well, but what other options are there that may be less inexpensive? I know PVC will expand and contract, but what is the life...

Hi all: We are getting a HP500 printer without the white option. I know I can buy white faced black foam, gator, and MDO. Is there such an animal as a white faced black PVC (Sintra)? Thanks
