  1. Neutral cure silicone sealant

    GE l silicone is acid cure and requires something like 12 hours before exposure to water. GE ll silicone is neutral cure and can be exposed to water in half an hour....likely the reason you're client is asking for it.
  2. Need Help Installing indoor signs from suspended ceilings?

    The ceiling tiles will hold with the toggle bolts. The problem with suspended signs is kids like to jump and hit them lol. That's just a fact. The 1x4 just ensures the sign will stay in place. It's overkill but it's cheap insurance.
  3. Need Help Installing indoor signs from suspended ceilings?

    They make clips that attach to the drop ceiling grid. You could use those and jack chain or aircraft cable with S-hooks. If you have to go through the ceiling tile itself, just lay a 1x4 or similar above the tiles so it spans the metal grids, drill holes through the tile and 1x4 and use...
  4. One man shop growing pains

    Monthly fees for multi-tenant panels are common but his price is what an anchor tenant would pay in a large shopping center in a large metropolitan area.
  5. TDLR licenses

    I would email all 3 of these: rudy.cherenfant@tdlr.texas.gov jerry.daniel@tdlr.texas.gov larry.reichle@tdlr.texas.gov
  6. TDLR licenses

    TDLR can't even agree on their own rules. I wouldn't rely on answers from the forum, I would get an answer in writing from TDLR.
  7. Opinion Need A New Heat Gun

    I'll let it go this time. The cordless heat gun has its place but it's pretty limited in what it can do.
  8. Random Photo of the Day

    That's what happens when people think silicone adheres well to acrylic/polycarbonate.
  9. Thoughts on exterior sign specs?

    No, no concerns. The 4941 is formulated to resist plasticizer migration.
  10. Thoughts on exterior sign specs?

    You can absolutely use VHB (4941) for the letters and logo. Full coverage would be ideal.
  11. Removing tape-mounted panels, etc.

    The deluxe version does but I didn't spring for them.
  12. Removing tape-mounted panels, etc.

    It IS cordless though....
  13. Removing tape-mounted panels, etc.

    Click on the (here) in my original post.
  14. Removing tape-mounted panels, etc.

    Figured I'd post this up in case it might help others. I was asked to remove this panel and a few letters so some repairs could be made behind the glass panels. I was told if anything breaks, they could remake it, but obviously the preference was to get everything off in one piece. That did...
  15. hanging sign from concrete ceiling

    If it's in a concrete ceiling, I'm guessing parking garage or simar. If that's the case, your main concern needs to be avoiding PT cable. If you damage a PT cable, some pretty horrible things can happen. If you're drilling and see colored plastic bits coming out, your day just got really bad...
  16. hanging sign from concrete ceiling

    I typically use Hilti 1/4" drop-in anchors, their setting tool, eye bolts with a 1/4 20 thread, and aircraft cable with ferrules and thimbles.
  17. Super Noob HANGING SIGN

    It made me think the same thing when he made the FAA comment. I was laughing on the inside but then I immediately thought maybe there was some merit to what he said. Areas with low flying planes have those orange spheres on power lines, etc. When municipalities make their ordinances, is the FAA...
  18. Just found this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    The black dot ruins it for me. It's too abrupt of a color change. I think white draws the eye in more. That being said, it feels like I'm staring at the sun. :covereyes:
  19. Super Noob HANGING SIGN

    The one thing that made me laugh about the Louisiana conversation was the guy at their Town Hall that I was talking to said, in a 100% serious tone, something to the affect of "you may want to check with the Parish.....and the FAA". :big laugh::big laugh::big laugh: You have to imagine it in a...
  20. Super Noob HANGING SIGN

    I didn't say "private property", I said in some areas "You can literally do whatever you want on your property.". That is just fact in some areas. Some municipalities have absolutely no restrictions or permit process for signs. One that sticks in my mind was a gas station in Louisiana. The sign...
