You also have to dry lexan. It stays in an oven (not hot enough to make it pliable) for 24hours or so before forming. Otherwise it gets a whole bunch of tiny bubbles in it. Looks neat but not for a sign face.

If they screened them and used a female mold they were making a whole lot of the same face. If you are making just a few you usually make a male mold and spray them afterwards. There is another company that I have visited that heats their plastic in an upright oven clamped to the top. Then...

I worked in a shop where they laid the plastic on the mold, rolled the mold under the heater. When it was hot enough they rolled the table out and sucked it down. They used large heavy angle iron to make sure the edges stayed flat and the corners were nice. It was an ancient machine that had...

How you feel if you were the land owner and couldn't rent to certain people that wanted it because the city wouldn't let them. You could loose your building because the city would not let you rent it to someone with the money to save you. That can't be right.

Good one!!

We used to use lacquer thinner. It was faster and way cheaper. It does take some good gloves to keep it from eating them though.

I built a 3' X 4' once really as a test. I was going to build a bigger one. Once I figured it out it wasn't fun anymore. I just order them formed. If you want to talk about it you can PM me. I am no expert but I can tell you how I did it.

I don't see any problem with a stud and pad mount and clear silicon. The pads adjust to irregular surfaces. Studs will help hold them in. You really might not even need the studs but it would be extra security. These were just pad mounted with clear 100% silicon.

I would call it blue on my monitor.

If you are going to cnc it vacuum forming over it should not be that expensive. Contact a face former and see if it is feasible. I have seen some pretty cool stuff vacuum formed. The chrome look I am not sure about. They did an article about it in a magazine several years ago but I can not...

I've got two of these in my shop. I hadn't even thought about how I was going to unroll. It is going to suck trimming those things to size assuming I don't kill myself unrolling them.

"what!!"

Maybe make the items and balls different sizes a little less precisely.

Ditto on the dog GG

There is a local sign company here that has a portfolio of LED message boards. It includes 5 signs. I know that he didn't build 4 of the signs the EMC is attached to. Does that count?

Hmmm . . . strippers?

If so what?? I am looking for ideas for a couple of good customers. I want to be a little more creative than the average joe.

sdimmick - probably to much paint. Don't use the clear and use really thin coats of the Krylon. That was my experience anyway. If think it needs a protective coat use Frog Juice.

Need to sell any 22's Traker???

I'll stand for 3 grand.
