I did a search and didn't find anything on the subject so I wanted to run it by the sign experts here.
I have a sign project for Fedex (about 84" wide by 42" tall by 2" thick when carved and cut out) and was wondering what the difference between 15lbs and 18lbs is except the $100 per sheet price increase for 18lbs over 15lbs.
- Is there a difference in carving quality
- Do they both take the sign board foam primer equally
- How it accepts paint
- Maintains it's shape (interior sign, not exterior)
- Suggestions for mounting (I was thinking of an aluminum french cleat system)
- Should the sign be backed with another material that the french cleat can mount to (i.e. MDO, MDF, etc. - remember interior sign)
Thanks in advance. All my previous sign work has been done with wood or MDO. Sign foam is a new adventure for me.
