Silicone, in my experience, is a sealant, not an adhesive. You should try some 'Power Grab' by Loctite. Use with a caulk gun, needs to set up overnight, goes on white, dries clear. They make a heavy...

3/4" MDO would be a relatively inexpensive alternative to HDU. Ask Joe Crumely. He's on here all the time....;)
Just about anything out of scrap you might have laying around that is weather resistant.
I love my Wacom tablet and can't imagine life without it. I have a 6" x 8" Intuos 3 and it's a great tool. I got a deal on it on eBay about 5 years ago. I use it for all my graphic design work in...
Well..., each to his own, Joe. I have managed for over 10 years without a vacuum hold down and I hope to continue to do so. This gig I've been talking about is the first one I've had to give me...
Well, Brady, since you put it THAT way, lol! If the straight-cut bits don't alleviate my problem, I will give your system and technique every consideration, good sir!
Hey thanks, Bill. But Centurion wants $28.20 for one 1/8" bit (3/4" cutting length), plus shipping and the Chinese want $29.99 for 10 bits plus $5.99 to ship. I think I'll try the Chinese. I always...
Thanks, Gary. I don't think a sticky board would work for me regardless of tac since it would be a "one use" deal. Some of these orders require dozens of sheets to cut and I have to be cost effective...
Gary - I'm still unclear. I can't find any google results for PSA Sintra. As far as Ultraboard, are you talking about this?: http://www.ultraboard.com/ultramount/
Here's my problem: I have a gig...
I would like to know more about this, please. Gary? Joe? Anybody?
Jack - it's not. I still plan to do it, but these days find me broke and in an intensive and exhausting job search. After almost 10 years, I'm hanging up being self-employed and am hopefully going...
Your post made me smile, Joe. On the first day of class for me at the Art Institute of Atlanta many years ago, the instructor said something like: "I know you've all been told all your lives not to...
Joe, I think you can salvage that sign by laminating a 2' x 8' x 3/4" MDO piece to the back of it with some Gorilla Glue and reinstalling it.
MDO is a bad choice for any kind of V-grooving. It is plywood. Think about that. I would use either PVC or HDU,....probably PVC, depending. In any case your substrate will need to be pre-painted and...
Duna Board is a popular HDU product.
Ryan, I'm gonna second Russ. Go ahead and pull the trigger and purchase a Bot. Your hand-sawn signs are great, but a CNC will make it much easier and faster for you.
You will find that the machine...
Well you deserve it, Eric. You make basically only one type of sign, but you do it very well and have shown how to put a Bot to work, successfully making money. You identified a market and niche and...
Eric Erickson deserves a shout-out as well. His simple yet elegant cedar signs are a study in sound design: http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11993
There are others too. Like Joe...
What sets Master Joe (and a few others in here), apart from most,... is not just knowledge and experience with various substrates, but an eye for fine design. Joe Crumley is a sign artist...
Thanks Jim.
HDU = http://www.norvaplastics.com/precision-board.asp
"Precision Board" is just one brand and type of many.
LMAO!
Kinda along the same lines,...I got home one evening a few years ago with a gallon of black latex paint I had purchased for a large sign I had cut and it was ready for a base-coat painting....
HDU has its' place but it is overpriced, easily damaged or broken, and not all it's "cracked" up to be. ;)
Duna is the best in my opinion and they were the least expensive when they started...
I keep hearing about this Baltic Birch but I've never seen any. Evidently it's a special order. Home Depot doesn't carry it. What's so good about it???
I got you all beat:

I programmed it to follow the router around on the table, sucking up all the dust as it goes along, which leaves...
