Hey guys,

Yeah I probably am mixing up the terms, I'm not sure of the specific product I used, it was from a plastics distributor and I'm still trying to find the name of it. I think it was PVC and not...
I would agree about the Marine varnish for boats being the most durable. I never worked with them on regular projects, I imagine they are more costly and difficult to source.
My whole idea was to...
No Keith, It is I on the opposite end of the Spectrum. Signs made out of PVC/Plastic materials will definitely last longer and are probably the standard.
Hey Paul,
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. Cedar of course does seem like a good choice because of it's properties. I've seen many signs on google images made out of cedar but they were...
Hi,
I am making a sign for a business. The owner is a friend of mine and I made her own years ago out of pre-colored plastic sheet material. (The specific name escapes me now). I want to make her...
Lucky I read that. I'm going to scratch the sanding idea then. Would be better to replace the sandpaper with a light block plane I suppose. Or just have the edge's already jointed from the...
That's a great idea. Thank you.
And I'm probably going to get that glue line rip blade by Freud as well. I wonder if they make them for circular saws too?
Do you mean you just rip each side of the board and it leaves a good finish? That's not a bad idea, espceially for those without a good jointer.
I see, I see.
This all makes more sense. I'll just lightly smooth the table saw rip edge with a sanding block before mating the edges. Thank you both for the input. Love this site.
Hey guys,
This seems like a minor detail that I forgot which is best. I'll be jointing the edges of some 5'' wide boards together. One edge will be jointed and the other would be a straight line...
Alright thanks alot guys for all your help. I'm just going to get a small sample and work on it to see what I'm in for before I start the project.
And yes, I planned on using a hand held router...
Yeah I sensed the edges would definitely need cleaned up after routing. And flame polishing does make the best sense. I guess I could do that with a torch and run it lightly over the edges, but that...
Hi guys I was scouring these forums for all the info I can get on sign making and what not.
I got an awesome design for a sign I'm about to do for a store. I found a supplier locally who sells...
