    I would recommend DeNyse. Ask for Allen or David. www.denyseco.com
  2. Backlit signs for Gas Station

    .177" white polycarbonate with 1st surface vinyl. Easy cheesy.
  3. Does this sign criteria make sense to you?

    I would assume they mean they don't want lettering painted directly on the wall.
  4. Does this sign criteria make sense to you?

    I'm betting it means the RCL's need to have acrylic backs. On RCL's its not unheard of for the backs to be referred to as ''faces''.

    What goes in the tote depends on what's getting installed.

  8. Canned Air...

    Thanks for the link. I usually stock up at Fry's - they have three cans for like $9 or some such thing. I was just looking at portable air tanks on Amazon. I think I may go with one of those and a telescoping blow gun. Thanks for the ideas!
  9. Canned Air...

    I can't believe something on the internet was WRONG, but apparently the method shown in the video is useless due to the cans originally being filled with a gas called tetrafluroethane which explains how so much air comes out of such a small can.
  10. Canned Air...

    Looks like a nice product for sure. For large jobs though, the canned air is hard to beat. Cleaning out 100 holes or more as well as dust from the wall itself is fairly quick with canned air due to the force of the air. That'd be a lot of squeezing with a bulb...! The photo below is an install...
  11. Canned Air...

    Not blowing the holes out weakens the bond of the silicone. The silicone has a layer of dust around it rather than adhering directly to the material you drilled into. I'm assuming you know that and are joking though...
  12. Canned Air...

    This little experiment failed miserably, by the way. I'm not sure how the cans are filled at the factory, but I wasn't able to fill it with more than enough for a couple of blasts. Oh well, back to Fry's for some more.

    These guys do nice work.

  15. Canned Air...

    Thank you for posting the info. I saw that on Amazon a while back, but the reviews were so bad, I'll stick with the canned air. Multiple people said it doesn't put out the kind of pressure that canned air does which is a necessity. They said it's even worse when you use the attachment that...
  16. Canned Air...

    Those work nice for tiny jobs, but not so much for cleaning masonry dust off a wall and fixtures and/or cleaning out a large number of holes.
  17. Canned Air...

    When I install interior stud-mounted letters I use a cordless DeWalt vac to clean dust and debris from the holes before installing the letters. But when installing outside, I use canned air to clean the holes as well as dust from the letters, the surrounding wall, etc. Works great, but stinks...

  19. Removing VHB from sheetrock

    If there wasn't silicone used, you can have a sign/letters off within seconds. Fishing line with handles (dowel cut to length etc) and you're golden. No gloves needed. Also a plumbing saw can kink and scratch wallpaper. It works and I've used it, but I prefer fishing line.
  20. Removing VHB from sheetrock

    Use a 50 pound fishing line to slice between the numbers and the Sheetrock. The remainder of the VHB will have to be removed with good old elbow grease. Sometimes a vinyl squeegee will work as well. Usually fingers work better though.
