  1. Stick-on Letters

    Thank you, that will help me sleep better tonight. But I'm using the Gemini threaded studs on the other side tomorrow.
  2. Stick-on Letters

    Ok, that makes sense. What about my stupid mistake on the rivets. I could just about cry. They said "aluminum" on the box, but I checked one of the stems with a magnet and they're steel. I used a double row of adhesive on all the letters except the "I's" and the smaller "Inc" at the bottom. So...
  3. Stick-on Letters

    Ok, I see the warning about steel rivets. Too late. I do have a bunch of the threaded studs left over from Gemini letter jobs. I'll do the other side with those. Dang.
  4. Stick-on Letters

    Ok, I did it with some Lexel. I figured GG would do fine but, the thought of that stuff expanding out from the sides was gripping my heart with fear.
  5. Stick-on Letters

    No, not them kind of stick on letters. I drilled holes in the main panel and the backs of these HDU letters with a 1/8'' bit on the CNC, then cut the studs out of some 1/4'' pop rivets, They were a very snug fit so the letters are aligned perfectly. I sprayed Sherwyn Williams Industrial acrylic...
  6. Backlit, routed ACM

    Would anyone be willing to make these faces for us? I don't have a stud welding setup. Just a mig welder. I'll get you the specs if anyone wants the job.
  7. Brick Sign estimate

    A rep from this city requested an estimate for build another sign "just like this one". I just received an estimate for building the flowerbed wall and the main sign structure. They told me $9100, just for labor, to pour the footer and lay the brick. After going back and forth a couple times...
  8. Backlit, routed ACM

    Hi Brad, I think I remember you from Letterville. Our Buddy Michael Boone came to visit my shop once, good man. What type studs do you weld to the back the aluminum and how close together? So, if the sign is 14'' x 96'' long, would you use like 3 pieces of 3/16'' acrylic instead of one piece? I...
  9. Backlit, routed ACM

    What thickness ACM? And what thickness acrylic? Thanks Also what bit and speed do you use on the router? Thanks!
  10. Backlit, routed ACM

    I'm open to using 1/8 aluminum if that's what you recommend. Then, how do you attach your polycarb to the back of it?
  11. Backlit, routed ACM

    Ok, any suggestions for a better way to do this?
  12. Backlit, routed ACM

    Contemplating routing an ACM panel, routing the letters out, so that it can be a solid background with light passing through the letters. I'm wondering if I can put a piece of white polycarb behind this, and glue the panels together and also glue pieces like the centers of "a's" and "o's" to...
  13. Colorcore, anyone use it?

    How much do you charge for it? By the sqft?
  14. Colorcore, anyone use it?

    Like it? Is there a place I could get a piece 3x4 whithout having to buy a whole sheet? I need some red white red. The largest I have found so far is 2x4. Thanks
  15. Bronze plaques or.......

    It's a small rural church, so, most likely not.
  16. Bronze plaques or.......

    Looking good!
  17. Bronze plaques or.......

    My customer wants something to commemorate/name a cemetery. He wants something about 4'x3' which will last so, vinyl on ACM is out. I'm thinking dimensional HDU could be easily vnadalized as the cemetery is at a place where it can't be watched or have security cameras. Does anyone know of a good...
  18. Sweating

    A few years ago, I bought a sign cabinet from a wholesale company in Alabama. It was 72x49, with a horizontal divider/retainer. Above the divider was panformed faces and below were EMC units. The sign was two sided. About 2 weeks or so after I installed it, got a call from the customer, said one...
  19. Can someone explain this to me?

    It would have to be some property of electronics that I'm not aware of. Way over my head. I watched their YOuTube video and the guy wires it the same.
  20. Can someone explain this to me?

    This is the wiring diagram for the LED surge protector from Grimco's website. Someone tell me how that wiring this thing in parallel like this is protecting or even doing anything to the circuit?
