Advice on replacing a backlit sign
Apologies in advance if I’m asking a stupid question here.
I’ve been asked to replace the perspex sheets at a shop front with a new design on a different coloured perspex.
The sign is currently two sheets of perspex with standard vinyl stuck on top, held in place with an aluminium chanel forming a border around the sign. There are a series of strip lights behind the sign to iluminate it.
As the sign is pretty long (about 15 feet) they have used two pieces of perspex and overlapped them by about an inch in the middle which obviously leaves a dark line when the sign is lit.
How would you guys (and girls) go about joining the two panels? Would I be better trying to find a supplier that can provide a full length panel or is there a prefered method that you all use in this situation?
I’ve had a drive round trying to find similar signs so I can see how they are joined and out of the other two I have found they both seem to be overlapped in the same way, is this common practice?
Cheers in advance for your help
