  1. CRAFT FAIRS UPDATE

    I can hook you up with a superb luthier here in the Dallas area if you ever need it...
  2. Sign company or wana be TV stars?

    They're one of the bigger companies in the Dallas area, been around since the 70's. Seems like a lot of time spent on that site and those videos. I can't imagine the ROI is there...
  3. Metal letters onto brick

    A picture is worth a thousand words....
  4. Possible alternative to Lexel...

    You must have a special Home Depot. Home Depot doesn't even list this on their main site which means you can't even get it shipped from them.
  5. Possible alternative to Lexel...

    Same - I pay right at $10 for Lexel. The Dap Ultraclear is right at $9 at Home Depot.
  6. Possible alternative to Lexel...

    Home Depot now carries a product under the Dap name called UltraClear. As far as I can tell, from what I've observed so far, this is the same as Lexel. It smells the same, it dries crystal clear, it's paintable and it specifically lists being compatible with acrylic and polycarbonate. No other...
  7. Quick adhesive question

    Your best bet is VHB tape.
  8. WILL VHB tape stick and hold to Brick???

    Short answer, yes - if there's enough surface contact. If it's a rough, uneven brick and the tape is on a bunch of high points without a lot of surface contact, then you would probably have issues.
  9. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    It's quite a bit quieter than a shop vac...can't recall the decibel level though.
  10. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    It suctions to the wall as long as the vacuum is on. There are two tabs on it that you can squeeze to break the suction and relocate it when needed.
  11. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    The extractor (below) and the suction ring use the DeWalt Airlock system. It won't directly fit up to that 2-gallon vac.
  12. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    Customer knocked that stuff out of the tree when he was moving it. Also knocked a couple of glass balls off the tree which shattered everywhere. And got gold glitter everywhere. It was quite festive.
  13. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    It cost as much as one lol. That's the extractor.
  14. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    That actually works great for when you're done drilling in brick, concrete, etc. outside. Love mine.
  15. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    Yep, that's all I do is contract installs. It does....but quietly. :)
  16. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    ...Actually for dimensional letters, concrete drilling, etc. Rather than get drywall dust all over the wall and floor, I've been using the DeWalt cordless Flexvolt extractor and the suction ring. The extractor comes with a fob that you can put on your wrist or wherever. I put it on the hose of...
  17. Do I need to find the wall studs for this interior sign ?

    The oversized holes in the acrylic allow for all the adjustment you need.
  18. Do I need to find the wall studs for this interior sign ?

    No need to find a stud. Most basic wall anchors hold around 30 to 50 lb each.
  19. Drilling Into Acrylic

    Bits for acrylic and Polycarbonate typically have a 60° tip. I've drilled hundreds of holes in acrylic/poly and the step bits work the best (even better than bits intended for plastics, in my opinion). I use these from Harbor Freight and they work great. If you're not near a Harbor Freight...
