Okay so after cutting acrylic letters out on the laser for a buddy, and his friend coming in to have me cut some out for his sign and then two others....
Now I've got someone asking me to make the sign for them. I'm not sure if I want to get that involved and after seeing most of the pics posted here, I'm not sure I can do a good sign justice.
It's for the local Mason Lodge and they want all the acrylic pieces in different colors to make up the logo and letters - not a problem.
They want a solid white background - first question - 1/4 or 1/8 inch white background? They want 1/8 inch to save on pricing - but for a 4' X 6' piece of acrylic with a bunch of letters - it's going to sag if it's only 1/8 inch.
But then they tell me - not really because they are going to glue it directly to the brick wall...:eek: Second question - can 4X6 acrylic sign be successfully glued to a concrete wall? I suggested the 1/4 and then have a frame around it that could be bolted to the wall - they absolutely do not want bolts of any kind! :eek::eek:
I'm in over my head on this one and feel like I need to walk away.
Did I mention the sign will hang up 2nd floor level?
