One of my clients asked if I could remove the lettering from one of their signs and replace with different lettering. I didn't do the original sign and it appears the adhesive that was used is not going to easily come off. Also, the sign is wood with a laminate so I can't just remove the lettering and refinish.
The entire sign is 10" X 5'. Each letter is 4" tall made out of 1/16th ADA alternative (or equivalent). The message is on both sides. The laminate is a light colored wood (probably a maple).
Someone mentioned I may be able to apply heat to the letters first and see if that works but I wanted to ask if this is possible or would be cost effective. I need to get the client the cost for me to remove the letters and put the new letters on. I get the feeling that they don't want to pay too much for this, which is normal, but don't want to undervalue it.
