Hello all,
I've been asked to bid on a sign job of sorts. Customer wants their Logo to be cut out and mounted in the reception room wall of their offices. Logo consists of a couple of words, a swoopy line and a red dot. Type font looks similar to ariel.
Never having done this, I thought it might be a good idea to outline my strategy to do this potential job and get a second opinion.
Cut out the letters from HDU.
Using a 1/8" diam., 3 flute down cut bit from Precision Bits to cut out the shapes.
Ditto on the swoopy line and red dot shape.
Use client supplied vector art work for the shapes and cut a mounting template as well.
Use coroplast for the mounting template.
At site:
Mount coroplast template to wall. Attach with tape.
Install the shapes onto the wall using silicone and tape.
Wait 30 minutes to remove tape and template.
Collect fat check from client : )
Never worked with HDU before. I've just recieved a sample from a supplier. There are three samples from SF and have 10,15,18 graded pieces.
I'm thinking that the 18 would be best as it looks the most dense.
Any advice for finishing the cut shapes cut out of this material would be greatly appreciated. Also, any advice or criticism of my plan of execution would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
