Small PVC Letter help

[Routerguy]

Hey guys I could use some info, I have a customer that wants some text that is .5-.75" tall cut out of .5" thick PVC. That alone is a bit of an issue as my 1/8" router bit will not fit into some of the details. I was thinking of going 1/16" bit but am not sure if its worth it becuase they want rowmark mounted to the top so it looks like a metal face.
Has anyone done very small letters like this on a 3 axis router before and had luck?

asking the same question in different forums wont do anything beneficial. but have multiple answers to the same question in different areas.

Duct tape with super glue works well for me. The problem is getting the letters off the duct tape. I sometimes use Paul Newmans salad dressing as a releasing agent.

i prefer to use kraft dressing as a release agent as it is much more cost effective than designer dressings for the production shop but i can definitely understand using designer dressings in a more custom shop environment.

Wow Dan, never even considered the cost saving benefits? Thanks for the insight
