    Posted by Graeme Speirs on 16 August 2004 at 11:16

    hi guys,

    looking for some advice, a job has come on board where a client is looking for up to 25 V boards to stick outside properties for sale. I have a few of questions .

    1) would corex /euroflute be the right material for this job with vinyl applied ?
    2) what thickness is best for this type of job
    3) can this euroflute be folded back to create tabs to attach onto the windows ?
    4) would I just use strong double sided tape for this to apply onto glass windows ?
    5) if possible how much would I look to charge for this ?

    cheers and as ever all help appreciated. 🙄

    i have a demo on what i use for these type of boards being loaded thursday mate. sorry timing not good for you i know. 😕
    there is various ways to make these boards, most of which use corex/euroflute in one way or another. for me to try and explain how i make ours wouldnt be worth while typing, ide need to show you the pics.

    pricing can be difficult because there are a few franchises on the go undercutting and doing the same work for next to nothing. (i dont see the point in that really) if you can get them at a decent price then great! but dont let them preach daft prices and expect you to compete. 😉

    Hi Nik,
    If nails into the wall on wooden batons don’t hold these things up in a gale
    a couple of suction cups don’t stand a chance. 😉

    Who’s Ed?
