:thumb:Plus it's soft and porous, a little moisture behind your silicone and it'll freeze and pop off in a year or two. Definitely studs, alum. or stainless with silicone in the hole to keep moisture out and your stud in.:clapping:

:rolleyes:I think it may be a gender thing, us guys have a tendency to fly by the seat of our pants or just wing it sometimes. We call it being creative, they call it stupid. That's when they get great satisfaction out of telling us what we should've done in the first place.... or if it does...

Very good use of space :cool1:

Good latex primer, then Matthews. If you use a quality paint like Matthews there won't be any "repaints" anytime soon. Not at least in our neck of the woods. Got 10 year old projects out there that still look good.

If everything else fails try a little Bon Ami, if it mires the surface a little buffing compound should take it right out.:cool:

:Welcome: from the midwest

:Welcome: From the Midewest

You're getting a LOT of good advice here, I would listen. The MAIN thing I was concerned about with your 4'x10' is the size of your letters are going to be under 4'. A 4' letter on the side of that building is going to look like a postage stamp. 4' sounds huge when that's all you're used to...

Definitely in the Microsoft family.... Meanwhile back at the ranch, could I ask a personal question? Why in the world would you want to make the same mistake again. Those have to be some of the ugliest fonts I've ever seen:ROFLMAO:. Just sayin'

:Oops:From one Murphy to another, hoping and praying all goes well from here on out for you and your family.

He has enough sq. ft. allowed to do 6'x100'' letters? Is that right? Visibility is a problem right? I'm sorry, you just can't do some things in vinyl (economically). A decent wall dog could put 8'x75' letters on the side... I don't think visibility will be a prob. And yes, 8' "MOVING & STORAGE"...

:thumb::thumb:Sign looks great.... what the heck is a ZuZu though?

:Welcome:Welcome from up north, all the rain we're having is headed your way, rivers gittin' big:omg:

:thumb:I'm still on the second capping station after six years. Fist time I replaced the capping station I soaked the old one in acetone over night and the next time we had problems, put it back on. Just recycled the capping stations, works fine. I think sometimes we get too impatient with these...

:doh:My God, I feel old.... Yes, they probably were labeled and it was a common means of construction in the 60's and 70's before aluminum was in such common use, plus I don't know if the technology for welding and working aluminum was available yet. Prior to that it would have been galvanized...

I agree with Sky High, a formed individual letter is supposed to look like it's sitting on the wall with no visible means of support, a rail just defeats that purpose, plus in a year or two when dirt and road grime starts to collect behind the plastic against the wall... yuck. If's it's a 1''...

:thumb::thumb::thumb:Three thumbs up on listening to reason. Now... I've yet to see a decent refurb job that didn't end up costing half to three quarters of the price of a new set of letters. Sell up big guy, if you're talking new backs, possibly new faces and trim-cap, heck all you're saving is...

We're all just jealous, :cool1:. Always wanted to build a helicopter... it's on my bucket list. Live long and prosper young Skywalker! By the way... Coro aught to give you a ton of money for that thing when you're ready to move on to the the next model.:thumb: Make a great attraction at the next...

Jamie, I just can't let this go... I know for a fact that on a recent civic center project locally DAK bypassed their own salesmen and sold the job directly from the factory cutting out their own sales people:frustrated:, I know the center manager. With the internet they can sell to your...
