Customer says the round band part is 5' high. Pretty small for a water tower I would think. I'm thinking most of that smaller detail could be eliminated.

I asked and they have used pounce patterns before, but the surface is too grainy to get a good transfer due to the detail of the graphic. Do you think Gerbermask Ultra 2 would work on this?

I can do pounce patterns and all that, no problem. But this is the customer doing this. I ain't climbing up no water tower, rappelling off the side or even going up on a bucket truck. :) The customer tried some vinyl and I don't think it will stick like he wants. He just wants a stencil so he...

A customer wants to paint graphics on a concrete water tank with stencils. The tank has been coated fairly rough and top-coated with latex paint. At first I thought maybe high-tac sandblast stencil but now I'm not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Yes, 3M is what I normally use too. I use the 7125. Thanks!

Does anyone love/hate Avery SC 900 vinyl? Grimco says it's rated 10-12 years. What do you think? Thanks!!

My customer wants a portable frame large enough to accommodate a 4x8 panel. Does anyone know where to buy one of these? Thanks

Thanks!

I have an ioline "Classic 24" plotter which sometimes fails to complete jobs. It will cut halfway through the job, stop in the middle with a blinking red light. I can press the "start/stop" button and it will begin plotting again, but them usually stops just before the job is finished. I know...

Yes, MDO doesn't last long at all here in Florida either. I quit using it for sign substrate many years ago. I'd rather stick with aluminum or stainless steel for my HDU projects. Why use something which rots on something that doesn't?

Sure thing! Thanks!

Thanks!

This is some of the 12'' block in progress...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted. I would like to know where to get a set of french cleats, or to build some, strong enough to support an 80''x96'' x2'' HDU sign against a block wall(my shop sign). I'm planning to laminate some .090 aluminum to the back of it with epoxy, as a backer...

Yes it was my cheap dumb-phone and I took the last photo at dusk which made it even worse. Thanks for the advice, I will check those out! :)

Thanks. This will be used to market our little subsidiary enterprise which is CNC cutting of parts, prototypes, architectural ornamentation, or anything unrelated to signs.

Just finished this one for the shop. The monument is EPS, 8'x6'x2', cut on our homebuilt hotwire cutter. The graphics were designed/layed out in SignWizard and the post card was rendered in Corelx8. The graphic elements on the sign are of HDU cut on our router, primed with FSC88WB, and sprayed...

Hey, I'm with you on the better components. I'll do some study on that and also on what it would take for me to get "UL certified". But on second thought, I may just hold off on putting LED's in my monument sign. For one thing it's light-colored copy on a darker background and spotlights will...

This is the main sign, I'm in the process of building, for my business. The lettering will be 2" thick 15lb HDU. The background panel will be sandblasted 2" HDU with acrylic latex topcoat and 23k gilded inset border. I was originally planning to spotlight it at night, but now I'm wondering how...

Thanks, I knew some people were using hdu in the construction because I saw some really top-notch ones in SignBuilder magazine using HAD and they mentioned "acrylic" too. I figured this, like the polycarb you mentioned, would not only help seal the back from the elements, but would help to...
