    I like to sandwich.

    Lately I've been using plain old DOW insulation for the depth, thickness,and MDO or DiBond for the surfaces. The glue is epoxy. Any brand is good.

    Textures are very important. On this piece I'll use a hopper gun for a stucco texture. There are lots of attractive textures which are easy to apply and don't require special painting techniques.

    There's good money in this kind of work when using regular, non exotic, materials. I could have made these letters from MDO, or Extira but I had some extra PVC scrap.

    I'm using less and less HDU or high cost materials.
