OK so here is my final conclusion, thanks to all who helped!!! I think the Arlon or Oracal would both work. Cast is the way to go for THIS particular installation. I called and talked to techs at Oracal and Arlon (just for my peace of mind, but was probably overkill as many of you were giving...

LOL, that would actually make more sense.

Actually it's not an oxymoron, but i get what you are implying.

Its all good, i just didn't like the whole ruining the market comment. I came here first, before i installed anything. Thanks.

Ok buddy, relax. This is why i am asking, and if you read you would see i came to that conclusion. You should have started and finished with your last sentence. :smile:

my bad, i am losing it. But I meant there was an Oracal that was popular for a while and then people were complaining it was too tacky so they came out with a newer one with less initial tack.

Yes, but I think the 3751 was a newer type they came out with, for that reason. At least that is what I heard.

Thanks guys. I think I have it narrowed down to Arlon 6000XRP with 3420 Lam or Oracal 3751 with 290 Lam What are your opinions? $200 price difference for the kits.

OK well thank you. So far I called Arlon, and they said the same, do not use calendered for what I am doing. My whole issue started when I tried getting a less expensive solution then 3M, I know the stuff is great but, too costly and I believe the playing field is a little more leveled now. OK...

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with wrapping w/ calendered vinyl (I am doing a partial each side of a Econoline Van, no bumpers just 3 vertical sheets per side from driver back, no wrap around). I was going to use Arlon DPF4560GTX it is considered a wrap vinyl in Fellers but...

I was looking for clipart of two boxing gloves smashing/punching/touching each other. I looked on Istock, Fotolia and a few others...nothing. Anybody have any idea where I can get this? Thanks (It is for a T-shirts so I need a vector)

Thanks Mike and Gino, I feel pretty comfortable now. I appreciate the detailed info! Thanks to everyone else who helped out as well!

I was thinking of attaching the 1.5 x 1.5 mounting wood pieces running horizontally (like the picture) and I like the "L" brackets on the back so I do not have to drill into the front. So would the way to do this be going and attaching the wood mounting pieces and then just measuring the gap...

Thanks guys I have the material down, thanks to all the help. I just need to get through the install part. Thanks again!

Thanks Mike, so is MDO the name of the material I want to use?

OK so I talked to him and we are fine with all permits, etc... Here is a pic of a sign that is currently on the building. I want to make mine similar. Doing some research it looks like I may want to order a .25" wood sign with aluminum face? That is what Harbor was describing it. My initial idea...

Thanks guys, how about the brackets though, any recommendations? Thanks!

This customer is one of those that I know well and will just tell me to do what I think is best. I think there is a sign on the building there now that has a little space from the siding, I will have to go back and look. So I am thinking I will do that, what are these brackets, and where can...

I was wondering if someone could tell me the best (right) way to attach an aluminum sign (3'x9') to a building with aluminum siding. I would imagine there are some type of brackets or spacers that go between the sign and the siding. I doubt I just screw into siding. Any help is appreciated...

wow, had no idea there were so many dog lovers....anyway, anybody have success getting a hair out after lam?
