Couple of questions, if someone has the time to answer.
I am putting a bid in on a sign that will be out doors. Right now there are two cement panels 6X15' with some metal letters and graphics on posts.
They want this to look like Sandstone and with a new name and some different graphics. I called Coastal Enterprises on the precision Board for the letters and coated with PB resin to harden the letters.
Also looked at their TSF-45 Texture, to place on the cement to get the texture of sandstone. Then I thought I would use sponge and paint to give the texture some color.
The letters would be placed over metal pegs drilled into the slab and held in place with silicon or such.
This sign sits on the ground, in the sun, snow and hail. As well they have lots of vandalism and most of the damage they see is from gun shots.
I talked with them, and they were quoted $12,000 to redo the sign using metal. They can not afford that. I figured I should be able to do the texturing and 64, 6-8" letters for considerably less than that. And by making another 20 back up letters they could be replaced when damage got extensive.
What experience have you had with TSF-45 texturing? Any idea on aprox. How many square feet the texturing will cover? Any experience with it sticking to cement, after the cement has been sealed? What would you suggest to hold the letters on, knowing that many of them will eventually have to be removed and replaced?
How to make the sign so bullets ricochet directly back at the shooter?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
