Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Until you mentioned shop signs I thought you were talking about Insole boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 the sign boarding stuff i figure it'll be more lightweight for the backings on the sandwich boards i'm making hence making the postage costs better. it is suitable for outdoor use i presume lee?

Lee Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Absolutely! read my blog to see my first ever sign using this stuff. It comes in different qualities, colours, thicknesses & types. if your an idiot like me who thinks "I can do that" then phones a company with absolutely no knowledge of the subject what so ever they are incredibly helpfull as well!

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yer mean to say you made the sign yourself? I'm impressed. Wish that stuff was available when I was active. Vinyl lettering-cut yer own, wow. dont know it it would work but, what about that stuff they use for uPVC cladding, I saw some yesterday that was in a large sheet that they were cutting to size for a soffit fixing, the piece they cut was about 3 foot square and very smooth, about quarter inch thick!!! Looked like expanded foam in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at my page http://www.cobb-lees.com/signwriting on the right hand side in the image gallery is a silver sign I made for the shop next door, I used the original board which is uPVC cladding which I know the original source was one of the window suppliers on a local industrial estate. The good thing about uPVC is you can get end caps, covered & caped fixings etc, so they make a nice looking sign blank. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
