I am looking for a material to remake a lighted exit sign from. The base has to be a translucent white an I need red lettering. I was thinking of making it out of acrylic with vinyl. Any other ideas? Made a 2 layer Rowmark product of something similar?

Thanks,
Wil

You might consider reverse engraved white Rowmark with a red color fill. This material has a clear/matt core with a white painted back which you engrave and fill.

I do them with translucent white acrylic and translucent vinyl lettering. If you wanted to do all laser you could cut /18" translucent red acrylic letters and glue them onto the white.

3D engrave the perspex and edge-light with red LED or cold cathode?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up going with 2 different colors of acrylic and gluing them together. Wil
