    Thanks so much for the reply. I have a few "freebie" PVC signs to do for a local charity and wanted to be on top of the game before I started as to not cost me any more money than it has already. They want the background and raised letters painted a hunter green and the carved letters to be white (thank God). Your technique will work nicely. Thanks again for taking the time to describe all that.

    Ross,

    My complements on an excellent post. I agree with all your steps. It seems to me we are on the same page with fabricating and painting.

    Wish I had more time to go over the steps like you have. Attached are photo's showing the way I get my depth. It's important with this material to allow for expansion and not to seal the cabinet up tight. We want good airflow.

    In terms of pricing: $400. is about as low as one can go. My question is always the same, if I had these to do all day how would my checking account look at the end of the month?

    Hope I didn't lead you astray in saying mentioning pocketing.

    Hi All,
    Would someone mind telling me how you went about putting the eye bolts into your PVC sign? I am assuming the way I would do would be to rout in a 3/8" recess into the back side of both 3/4" PVC blanks and inlay a solid piece of hardwood. So that the hardwood is completely contained within the sandwiched 3/4" PVC blanks. Am I anywhere close?
