For installing dimensional letters, ADA signs, etc., I normally use clear silicone - usually GE ll, sometimes GE l. GE l is just over $5 a tube, GE ll is just over $6 a tube. While I don't want to sacrifice using a quality product, I've been looking around to see what other options there are...

Very nice work... Reverse (or halo-lit) channel letters employ a similar technique. They're not as common as face-lit channel letters and I've never understood why. The look during the day is cleaner and at night it's a more subtle, cleaner illumination.

VHB tape and silicone for solid, dimensional letters. Silicone for pad-mounted letters. No need for mechanical fasteners. It's not going to 'tear' or cause the facing to come off the panels.

4Over has the 4D lenticular cards...

It's been a long while since I've had to deal with banner frame systems. Can any of you recommend a system or supplier or Merchant Member that offers this (other than the obvious like SignComp)? I'm looking for something for pretty large banners (roughly 30'h x 10'w) on an exterior fascia...

There's no reason you can't do this if you're just supplying the faces now. As Keith mentioned, get the V.O. and cut size, send it to your thermoformer of choice (I'd recommend Faces) and have them ship the faces (assuming it's within your budget).

I think a lot of people have probably closed this thread after seeing they had to download a pdf to view the artwork. :) Might want to upload a jpg...

Thanks for the responses guys. All answers sound plausible. It was strong stuff whatever it was.

Good specs on the Bosch. They've definitely become more of a competitor, which is good. It makes everyone else build a better product.

...what kind of adhesive this might be? This stuff was ridiculously stretchy and a pain to remove. I know it's a shot in the dark, but thought someone on here might be have a clue what it was. It was almost like mastic. Weird. Anyway, the stuff did it's job pretty well...wouldn't mind having...

I would say to go see how he built the frame and duplicate it.

In the sign industry, they're known as 'studs'. :thumb: An 'anchor' is the piece that is separately inserted into the wall.

Might check into Wagner Zip Change as well.

Welcome to the site and I think you have some great ideas. Just looked through your site and your old store was great. It's obvious a lot of passion went into it. It's a shame O'Reilly's did away with everything you did, but that's to be expected I suppose. Your videos look great so far...

I like the first one. The other two almost look like open-ended box wrenches.

These would be the most affordable and easiest options to implement lol But there would still be seams and they would still get picked at. The existing vinyl has laminate over it and there are places the kids have peeled chunks out of it. It's ridiculous... This is one of the options...

It could be done, but why? If you put a face on it, you would never know it was ACM. If you didn't put a face on it, you would know it was ACM, but again, not sure what the purpose would be or what would justify all of the extra work. You would have to route a huge number of V-grooves to achieve...

Exactly what i was thinking - lawsuit waiting to happen.

I'm confused. You built it 20' wide and want to build it wider...just use the same construction method as you did originally. ...?

Sorry...vague post made in a hurry. This is all solid 48" wide digitally printed vinyl covering the walls like wallpaper. They extend anywhere from 8' to 10' (or more) up the wall. The customer is ok with, for example, printing to 4'x8' or 4'x10' pieces of ACM and laying that over the existing...
