  2. I need a good analogy

    How about just try laying a piece of tracing paper over a blurry picture and trying to get an accurate drawing. "Yes, but your software can clean it up" I know.
  3. I need a good analogy

    Maybe like trying to focus a pair of binoculars when the lens is fogged up. No matter how precise you focus it's not going to be clear. "Yes, but you have software that can clean it up"
  4. Font ID what is this?

    I have no idea what this is. Customer told me they paid someone to design it for them. I doubt that but have kept my mouth shut so far. Anybody know? The subtext was Optima. That was "designed" for them too. Thanks for any help,

    Thank you.
  6. Font for bronze plaque

    I do a lot of bronze plaques and come across this font often. I usually substitute something similar. This time I need it really close. I am referring to the font of all the lines of copy. Highway Gothic is pretty close but not quite it. The cross stroke in the A is too high. Anybody know? I...

    Thanks. I have contacted Matthews for info on their refinishing kit.
  8. Renovating bronze plaques

    I have been asked to quote on renovating/refinishing several cast bronze plaques. They are on walls and cannot be removed. Some are nearly 100 years old, others maybe 25 years. They range in size from about 8x10" up to 3x4 feet. I have sold quite a few of these over the years, using Gemini to...
  9. Suggestions Stud mounting adhesive

    I like Lexel. If you don't blow the dust out of the holes it doesn't matter what you use. it won't hold.
  10. Suggestions Installation need ideas

    OK. Updated with a fresh mind. I was making this more difficult than it needed to be. We will use Gatorfoam. I am just going to instruct them to just use silicone, as stated above. I did a test and it holds fine, even an uppercase P that is heavier on one side. If they had VHB tape they would...
  11. Suggestions Installation need ideas

    Thanks for all the replies. I've got it figured out. Sort of a combination of some of your replies. Small metal brackets at the bottom of each letter made of angle aluminum, VHB tape, screws and silicone. A skilled handyman type should be able to install it with my pattern taped on the beam just...
  12. Still doing some stuff 'Old School'

    Hey man, That's alright! Old school is cool.

    Thanks. I like your pattern method. Mine will be 2" thick letters projecting up, sitting on top of the beam. Indoors.
  14. Suggestions Installation need ideas

    That may be the best way. That is probably what I'll suggest. How about a pattern? I should have put that in my post. Probably a strip of paper with vertical lines showing where to place the letters taped to the top edge of the beam. If I was installing it would be no brainer but I need to make...
  15. Suggestions Installation need ideas

    I hope to quote on a job with an unusual installation. It is for a museum gift shop interior. Customer wants letters 12" high, probably 2" thick. they may be foam with an acrylic face, or possibly solid PVC. Helvetica Medium all caps. Just a few words, probably 40-50 letters total. They want...
  16. Question Squarespace question

    Thanks, I agree. My questions are: 1. Can I use my existing domain name? 2.Can I create one new page for my existing site using Squarespace? Or do I have to start a whole new site from scratch? I think she used Dreamweaver. I really just want to add a page or two and leave the rest as is for...
  17. VHB tape and PVC not holding

    I always add a few dabs of silicone or Lexel along with VHB. It takes little time and you'll have fewer problems.
  18. Question Squarespace question

    I know almost nothing about creating a webpage. I have just always avoided that. I had someone create my website back in the late 90s and have had her update it once in a while since then. I really need to be able to make changes myself, so I am considering Squarespace. I see tutorials online...
