I was referring to the part where you said fasteners through the face was by far the most logical and safest method and that anything less jeopardizes the integrity. Not being argumentative, but that's simply not true. Signs are made without visible fasteners all of the time here and they hold...

Not sure how you figure that. Ever tried to remove a panel stuck to aluminum with VHB tape and silicone?

That's a good approach. If it were me, I would use 2" aluminum angle for your two 12" lengths. Then I would apply VHB tape to the portion of the post that will contact the ACM as well as to the two legs of the aluminum angle that will contact the ACM. A few beads of silicone for good measure and...

There's no such thing as overkill when installing signs...only underkill. Use VHB. Banner tape is for banners.

Looks like a rout-out show-through face. Likely aluminum with routed-out text then backed with acrylic with the red vinyl lettering. The red vinyl lettering is slightly smller leving the white acrylic border showing. It could be layered acrylic, but that's not too common.

Thank you very much, Fred.

Probably an easy one but outside of my realm of expertise. Anyone know what font this is?

Ah...Masking tape is masking tape and premask is premask. I was answering your question about MASKING tape lol

Gotchya. I like the Sherwin Williams tape. Even if the edges are damaged, it seems to stay in one piece. The 3M stuff rips like crazy if the edges aren't perfect.

I bet you're using the 3M stuff from Home Depot...? Try the Sherwin Williams tape.

It can be done either way - just depends on the spacing of the letters and the amount of material you'll wind up using. Sometimes it makes more sense to do it as individual letters and sometimes it makes more sense to do it as one piece. The most important thing is to fasten the letters so...

Not all VHB tapes are recommended for vinyl. Vinyl contains plasticizer which can negatively affect the adhesion of VHB tape. The only VHB tapes recommended for direct use on vinyl are: 4941, 4945 and 4991. Also, on tapes 4618, 4622 and 4624, the liner side of the tape is plasticizer resistant...

Yeah, I don't think it would be great for a print shop due to the abundance of tire kickers. But some of the other areas of the sign industry don't get as many of those kickers. In Dallas, we have a few trades (electrical, etc) that have really put their name out there, and it works as far as...

I've never personally used them, but I've had THESE bookmarked for a while in the event I find myself in your situation. They look like they would work well.

Can't say I've ever seen it done. Seeing all of the typical commercials this morning for local businesses (carpet cleaning, plumbers, electrcians), it made me wonder why you never see commercials for sign companies. Seems like advertising anything from channel letters to dimensional letters to...

Thanks guys!! The machine is apparently temperamental. It's one of those 'when it works, it works great' things...

You could get away with four, but I'd use some Lexel in a few spots. If no fasteners is a must, VHB tape a couple/few strips of .125" aluminum to the back that have threaded studs welded to them. I'd still use Lexel with țhat method.

I gotchya! Thank you!

Paint the screws to match the face. Use the pan head type Spax from Home Depot. They make for a pretty clean install.
