slice&dice 2,450 Posted January 11, 2012 A sure indication of taking it to the "next level" (pun intended) ----- using a ladder to install vinyl lettering. Although I've done higher-up work previously (on lighted sign faces above storefronts and onto awnings) today I was doing lettering onto a dump truck. {{{ I provided the client with a set of DOT #'s for no extra charge }}} Impressive to have a dump truck in my portfolio!

Snapper 30 Posted January 11, 2012 One thing to remember when using a ladder to do sign work.... never step back to admire your work till after you climb down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted January 16, 2012 More ladder work --- (This is 28' on the wall --- 3-1/2 sheets of maxmetal end-to-end) maxmetal is duroplastic high-pressure laminated with a metallic aluminum surface, also known as DiBond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted January 17, 2012 Nice work I like Dibond works nice and fairly rigid also you can use a router and vgroove bit to make almost seamless boxes to give a dimensional look to your signage. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted May 31, 2012 This sign just went up a few days ago, I love it when the installation is at a height reachable with a 16-foot ladder. I discovered that a regular drill is not the best thing for brick --- I need to get a hammerdrill for these types of jobs in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
