Fred has put it perfectly. Take a small digital camera with you EVERYWHERE. Start with the supermarket and go up and down the aisles. Take a photo of EVERYTHING that "appeals" to you and what you feel would make a good / great sign. Keep these in a file on your computer. Take a photo of...

Dont forget... depending on the thickness of the glass, if the tint is applied to the inside and graphics to the outside, it ( the graphics ) may very well cast its own natural shadow. Cheers - G

Once you ARE satisfied that all the "moisture" has dried and is flat, make sure you put another coat on. Preferably rolled. If the bubbles have gone down, this may mean that there is a fracture or pin hole in the existing paint. Seal it with a new top coat. The original problem may also have...

What a joke. Guy should be shot. Am I allowed to say that? LOL

Great comments Astro: I agree with everything you have said, and most should pan out in the 3D stages. The one that I particularly agree with is the "L" and the gap on the right side. Thiis is a three layer with bevels etc and text is incised @ 120 degrees. Thanks for the...

Waiting on final approval, This will be cnc, hand carved, rolled, hand painted pictorial, and gilded. Although not shown, there are chisleing and texture effects that will be the "bonus" for the client. Comments and critques invited. Cheers - G

We just lost 2 serving Australian soldiers today in Afghanistan. Sad day. So to ANY enlisted soldier who fights for the freedom of their contry and that of others. Thank you. I hate war, and do not agree with wars. But I do accept that sometimes wars have to be fought. Brave men. Proud...

Pat - YOUDAMAN - what a top notch awesome design. Got's ta give credit where credit is due. This is a gee up right?

Come on guys and gals.... "Tell me about you, your town , your life, your income, your happiness."

Fantastic comments (also blushes). Thanks for the honesty and insight. PLEASE... keep them coming, all will help in the research and (hopefully) an answer. Or at least closer to one. Cheers - G

We are ahead of you here in Oz, so hopefully our prayers will be reaching sooner and healing faster. Cheers - G

Sometimes... when substrates dont "match" it is far better "glueing" the fastening mechanism together. Try looking beyond the two substrates to what will adhere to each of the substrates... then "glue" the fasteners together. I know here in Oz that PVC will not glue to polyurethanes. But PVC...

+ 1 for Pat. Alternative: You never know what medium is on there. Could be high quality stock... could be $hit. It also depends on the area (location), time of year, heat, humidity etc. I would: 1) Lightly take a razor blade and cut through vinyl, only JUST touching glass. Do this...

This is not a bull$hit post so only experienced, honest, and straight up and down need reply. After 16 yrs in the sign game I still love it. Still have a passion for it. Still have sooooooo much to learn and to give - even pass on. Eight yrs ago I met my beautiful wife ( from the USA )...

Nothing beats matching colours by eye. Period.

Sign installation - the correct way is a science unto itself. Unlike a sign of digital print or computer cut vinyl etc, there are only so many combinations, many of which are learned over time. However sign installations are limitless, as most times, signs are going onto something - be it...

I'm with Mosh on this one. To work for yourself is divine albeit when times are tough. I spend more time NOT working than actually working. Purely because over the years I have become very fast at whatever I do. Did a 4 x 8' composite panel in 2 hrs start to finish. Days salary... now...

I bought a Leica Disto http://www.laserdistoshop.com.au/d3a.html in Denver when I was there a few years ago. They will work for what you want AND if you get the UV glasses - can be used in sunlight. Obviously you need to see the beam to set each of the coordinates. It is also advisable to...

Actually looks like it MAY be just composite panel on the matt side. Cheers - G

oh dear....
