I would but its not mine, I will try to convince him to leave it buthe won't

Sorry for my lack of english class skills.

thanks for your help its acctually a toy truck a friend of mine has a bunch of them and is restoring i asked him what they are worth he said he has no clue and doesnt care he isnt selling them. Im still curious to how much they are worth... to much Pawnstoragehunters i guess.

it looks close to eurostile but not quit it.

Right there isn't really any white in the design but ink is translucent right? wouldn't it get very dark against the "wood" painted background? I'll experiment with it. This is a cool idea, should make it look like the image is floating in the epoxy coating. Thanks.

Wow thats a cool idea. I don't have white ink. Did you mean mount clear print to a thin white substrate? I have some .060 clear lexan. what if i sheeted the bottom side with white vinyl and applied the printed clear to the top side, then coated with epoxy? Is that what you suggested...

Thanks for your responses. I know these questions probably seem pretty dumb or intuitve, but am just trying to narrow down the best path for this project. First time doing a sign like this and i want it to look awesome. My plan now is to use a 2 part epoxy coating, its called famowood cryltal...

I was wondering that. So you don't think that you would be able to see the texture of the canvas? How do you thhink it would look with cast vinyl print with lam and a 1/4 poly? I would guess that you would be able to see some of the texture from the canvas, but don't kknow first hand.

Done a little googleing and Min Wax Helmsmen spar urethane seems to be a popular choice for bartops other than the epoxys. Most of the reading ive done says to lay down several coats, but could I just pour it on, it is self leveling haha and the frame has a nice ridge all the way around to hold...

Tyrant I like the idea to flood the frame with polly. will probably go that route. this may be a dumb question but I shouldn't need to clearshield the canvas before I flood with poly, should I?

:banghead:

trust me i googled it first... There are a ton of different products out there. Looking for first hand expierence. What has worked best for others in the past. Jhill, phototech have either of you ever used a spray adhesive to adhere canvas to painted hdu. If so which product did you...

bump

here let me help you... just kidding.

thanks phototec! thats exactly what I was looking for... seriously though it was a creative way to tell me to f*** off. ...just trying to get relavent opinons if anybody here on signs has done s similar project with good results. Thanks

^^

Does anybody else have any suggestions?

Thanks, i didn't realize that phototex wasn't a permanent solution. I'll take a look at what culvers has on their website.

what about phototex. I have read some stuff on here about it but mostly where people were applying it directly to a wall. Does this stuf have the similar look and texture that canvas does? Just seems like it would be easier to work with.

I dont want to have to add in the thickness of an extra substrate. i've used 3m super 77 spray adhesive in the past but pretty sure that is acid based. What acid free adhesive have you used in the past? Do you think the adhesive is somewhat slideable like wallpaper? Wondering because its hard...
