rookie question

[rookie31]

is there an alternative sign substrates to use for an outside sign instead of painted aluminum?
i need to make a few 4x6 signs but i dont really want to drive 2 hrs to pick it up because there is no local providers
thanks for the help

To list a few - MDO, AlumaCorr, Whitewood, Polymetal, Fiber-light and Nu-Alum.

Some other names for similar products, Dibond (solidcore plastic with alum. skins) and Alumalite (coroplast core with alum. skins).

MDO is ok, Alumilite ok, I like Nudo better. Don't forget to seal the edges!!

(a) Make the 2 hour drive but buy a generous supply of substrate for inventory and then you won't have to go back till later in the year.

(b) Order MDO from local lumber yard. Again order a large enough quantity....they will deliver.
