    Default some different signs and woodworking

    these are for a eco friendly design company. the backing is edge glued 1" plywood. I selaed it all with several coats of epoxy then sprayed waterborne marine finish three or so coats. the letters are dibond some painted some natural glued on with silicone.

    Always liked Edge Glued ply look. Did my own shop office that way so desks appear to have a 4" slab top. Quick and heavy duty the stuff has lasted for years.
    Did you use any special consideration in adhesive or additional mechanical fastening for exterior use?

    I just used yellow glue. I coated everything in three coats of epoxy. so all the ends are sealed even the mounting holes were pre drilled and sealed. so it should be waterproof. I figured that's the only way it could hold up outside. silly me bought epoxy that was supposed to be uv stable. I finally called the number on the bottle and talked to the engineer and she told me it would yellow like any other epoxy in sun. so I sprayed three or 4 coats of finish on it too.

    That is a really cool look. Great Job! Did you do the design or did they?

    Why am I not seeing any pictures here? I see Thumbnails on posts in other threads but nothing at all here. As a matter of fact I think I noticed it the other day on another one of Steve Knight' threads.

    I post links from photobucket. sounds like something is blocking them in your browser.
