  1. Mounting acrylic to brick wall options

    You mention acrylic and that it's 15"x14" but you don't mention how thick it is - that's going to influence what you use. Stud-mounting would be the best option. If they don't want a lot of penetrations, drill and tap for one stud at the top and use tape and Lexel on the rest. Not sure what...

  3. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Thanks! No, I don't typically have the cargo carrier on the vehicle It just bashed my bumper and doors in.
  4. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Not putting the boxes on the doors. I've replaced those with the four parts organizers that are on top of the Tstak boxes (2 on each side). They're great boxes with some really nice features. Not putting the ladder rack in. Most of my work is lower level so I've decided to not carry that ladder...
  5. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    I liked the first one so much, I got another (haha)... Actually, the other one got rear-ended........three times. No joke. The first and third individuals did not have insurance. They received tickets and went on their merry way. I was left with a dented up bumper and van. The second one had...
  6. Installer needed Arlington, TX

    I definitely appreciate the recommendation, thanks! I don't install illuminated signs though, so I wouldn't be able to help on this one.
  7. Tape mounting dimensional letters

    If it's a painted wall, I prefer stud-mounted just to avoid any potential issues with the tape sticking. Most of the common paints these days are designed to NOT have things stay on them (dirt, grease, stickers, etc.). That unfortunately also effects tape-mounted signs and letters as well as...
  8. 2'x17' vinyl install

    Easily a one-person job. Cut a slit down the backer at the center, tightly tape the entire piece of vinyl in place, untape half of it and roll it up to the center where you made your slit, peel back the backer and squeegee as you go. Repeat on the other end.
  9. Silicone recommendation for dimensional letters with stud/spacer

    Yes, but silicone is fine as well and is cheaper. And yes, Lexel is a bit more difficult to remove.
  10. Silicone recommendation for dimensional letters with stud/spacer

    Silicone, Lexel....both are available in squeeze tubes. Silicone is cheaper obviously.
  11. Mounting ACM panels (dibond) to an uneven wall

    Lexel is great stuff but unfortunately it doesn't set up fast. That's really not too uneven of a wall. I've used VHB on worse walls, you just need to take your time and find the high/low spots and stack the VHB where needed. Since you have the chance to obtain other materials though, I would...
  12. Tips on removing signs from glass- Heavy-Duty double-sided tape?

    I have to do this pretty much weekly. I typically use a really thin putty knife to push/cut through the tape. If that doesn't work, I use Kevlar string. Very difficult to break and won't damage glass. click
  13. Weird way to install tenant panels

    My bet is they're temporary signs until the new ones are finished.
  14. Pan face without metal brake

    Agreed - I missed the ACM reference....just saw 'metal face'.
  15. Pan face without metal brake

    Yep....attach 1½" or 2" aluminum angle to your 3'x6' flat face. Use LORD adhesive. Good to go.
  16. One of my favorite tools...

    ....and DeWalt is coming out with 12ah batteries in packs that are the same size as the 9ah. I'm betting they'll have an upgraded Power Station here eventually.
  17. Looking for Dallas Sign Installer

    Happy to help out if you haven't already located someone.
  18. Need Help Dimensional Letters offset of a wall

    You'll be fine. Use a liberal amount of silicone. If it were me, I would use pads along with studs. These were around 1" thick and 3'-4' tall and were installed with studs/pads/silicone.
