Hello, I am looking for advice regarding filling holes from removed pin mounted letters. I was hoping to conceal the holes as much as possible by covering them with a colour matched silver cast vinyl to match the ACM cladding. My only concern is what type of hole filler would be best for...

Well since this was posted I have been doing cuts for 3 other shops which helps fill in the gaps. So far I have been charging a 75 dollar minimum based on an hour. I’ve just been going by “feel” so far and it’s been working out pretty well. Most jobs are 150-250 for signage related stuff. I...

I am applying the letters directly to the lexan in this case.

Hello sign making friends. I am fabricating a “push through” style sign here and wanted some final advice prior to applying the logo and letters. Acrylic to polycarb. Can I be confident attaching these with High Bond tape only or should I take the extra step and add a few blobs of Lexel...

Just ordered some to try out. Thanks!

I have a project where I am facing acrylic letters with brushed gold ACM. Wondering if I can attempt to save a step. Has anyone done this before and if so, what kind of adhesive might work well for this. Thought it was worth trying. Obviously want to avoid seeing the adhesive along the edges...

Not ideal I realize but I am a small shop just starting out on a budget so I was hoping to avoid having to stock the clear as I doubt I would use it very often.

Thank you. I will try that!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had a tried and true simple pricing model I could use to estimate CNC cutting for others. Right now I am toying around with a spreadsheet that includes the following: -Number of square feet being cut -Thickness of material 0.125 to 1in -Material type -Number...

It would be a largish sign at around 8x4 feet.

Dude... That's not a bad idea! Love it

As opposed to using blackout translucent, I was hoping to use a good quality air egress applied to acrylic for an external sign. I recall a former know it all fellow employee mentioning that this could pose an issue. Is this true?

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone had any really cool ideas for storage of finished graphics. Example would be masked graphics or produced vehicle graphics. Something that uses a small footprint. Would LOVE to see some photos of your storage techniques! My idea was to make wide shelves...

Thank you! I like this!

Hello fellow sign makers, After a number of years in the industry working as a production manager at a few different sign shops, I have decided to go my own way. I am nearly fully equipped to run a small shop out of my garage. Outside of setting up a decent website, I wanted to get some...

Hello! I have my eye on a used HP 330. It looks to be in fantastic condition with low hours. The asking price is decent at 4k CDN. Only issue is that I would need to store it in my garage for a number of months until I can put it to use. I’m wondering a few things. 1. Would it be ok to...
