Advice on Sign FabricationTip: if you use plywood for sign OR CUT OUTS, use genuine signboard This material is more expensive than plain plywood (about the same as cabient plywood), but is much better. It will stand up; the other will not. Tip: you can also use a pinwheel punch (a wheel with perforating projections) to trace over your lines on any pattern. Measure where you want the bottom of the letters to appear on the buillding and chalk a line (with a snap line) at the BOTTOM of each line you plan to install. Also snap a center line on the building surface. Then tape the applicable register tape to the bottom on each line, lining up the center marks on the top with the one on the building.. Next, arrange the letters one at a time to conform to the letter bottom outlines on the cash register tape. To make a unlit sign, the cheapest way is to use one face and place plastic letter strips on that one side only. If you try to use both sides of the sign, the shadow from the side facing the sun will show through on the other side and make it unreadable. To avoid this problem, and still have a two-way sign, use two-way sign, use two sign faces with a 3 to 4 inch "dead" space between them. |
