MDF Sign: KB Interiors

Posted by Lee Jones on November 2, 2004 at 11:26 am

This is my first sign produced from start to finish, and having never fitted a sign before, I asked for help with the fixing, and decided to hide all the fixtures behind the sign and not drill directly through the front, which would have been easier.

It’s made from 9mm Exterior MDF, and painted with a high quality primer and gloss paint as recommended by Steve Broughton in his posts. Found working with this material real easy, and routing a rounded edge was a piece of cake. The rest, just simply cut vinyl applied dry.

I like using this exterior MDF, which is a good thing really, as I filled the van up with it on a recent visit to T. Eden !

Any comments or thoughts appreciated.

Smart sign Lee! 😀 I particularly like the shape, makes a change from the rectangles and squares I always seem to be working on.

Cheers, Dewi

Can’t really take the credit for this one Mark, as i only added the goggles. …….. The rest was done by Jill in another post .

Thanks again Jill, really love it, I show it to all my clients and its on the wall of the office.

There Lee it was your turn to make me chuckle.
Glad you liked it so much.
I think the goggles add to the overall effect!
….and customers STILL buy signs after seeing that picture?
Love….Jill 😉

Yeah, I know what you mean Jill, I’m a bit like my sign making, not much to look at, so as a bonus I always try to offer a good package……..:wink:

One can never go wrong with a good package.
The best part is the unwrapping! 😉
