  • which way to fix spacers

    Posted by Gareth.Lewis on September 25, 2006 at 2:24 pm

    Hello!

    A customer of mine has acrylic lettering on a ply board above his shop (supplied years ago by others). One letter has gone, disappeared, and I have been asked to replace it. I am planning on cutting some 3mm matt foamex by hand and covering it with coloured vinyl to match the colour there already (black). I was wondering where I might get just 2-3 spacers to glue(?) to the rear of the foamex and the best way to fix/glue it to the foamex to avoid the letter falling on somebody’s head. The shop is permanently undercover in an arcade in Cardiff city centre.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ta,

    Gareth.

    Hi Matt, would it not be easier to get the letter cut by one of the suppliers? They then will supply 3mm black matt foamex, and the spacers too?

    Sorry, just re-read your post, realised you said acrylic. Doh! Still, though, same answer really.

    for adhesive call amari plastics for tensol or grahpityp for fusion.
    both them may also do locator’s but you will have to buy a bag of female and male locator’s. not expensive anyway and very handy top have.
    europoint also do locator’s.

    note: locator’s come in small medium and large.

    I’ll happily send you a few locators, if I have the right size, or you could phone round and ask for samples? :shutup: Naughty me!
