    Have you tried routing a channel out to set those lights in?

    No because that would take extra time and the LED's would need to be glued in place. The lights come with double stick take that wouldn't attaché very well to a routed surface. HD PVC is slick and a perfect surface the adhesive tape.

    We use the led flexible strips they come 16 feet long but you can cut them every 3 inches

    Jerry,

    We have some of the flexible strips also. Ours comes on a 20' roll. It didn't work for us because we couldn't get it around some of the small turns.

    Please show us some of the signs you've been making with this product.

    Joe-

    Been wondering what you've been up to lately! Perfect timing on the LED post! We are about to do a job very similar and I had worked out doing very close to what you are doing.
    Did you get the picture of the Minco sign that Denise sent you?

    Chris,

    Please post the photo you are referring to.

    I don't know what happened to all the pro sign guys that used to post. Perhaps there aren't enough full time sign people to make it worth their time. After all it takes extra time to take photo's during the fabrication process, write the copy and post. Same goes for posting on the national mags. Time is the magic requirement.

    Looks good Jerry,

    Any details you'd like to share. Looks like neon!

    The letters are cut out of .5 clear acrylic with colored vinyl on them we do a lot of stand off letters. Here is another one the letters are black sintra and the red is a push through clear plexi with red vinyl

    Jerry,

    My complements on the signs. These look to be interior, neon fabrications. As we all know Black PVC doesn't work out doors. Aside from warping like crazy, UV will turn it gray in short order.

    Do you work for this company or is this yours? I'm always interested in the methods used to build this kind of signage. Would you like to elaborate on the process and give us any hints about the way you go about it? That's what a forum like this is for.

    Joe
