Lucky2 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Nicely done Todd, what did you use as a top coating to protect them from the elements? Len Quote
wombatie Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Well worth the look Todd, well done. Marg Quote
newfie Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Posted October 30, 2016 Nicely done Todd, what did you use as a top coating to protect them from the elements? Len I used 3 or 4 coats of spray polyurethane Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 They look good Todd nice work. Roly Quote
Lucky2 Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 I used 3 or 4 coats of spray polyurethane Todd, are they for outdoor use? If so, do you think regular poly will protect them? Anything I've ever made for exterior purposes, I coated with exterior grade clear boat finish. It's been a while since I've used it, and I can't remember the proper name for it. But, it did a super job of protecting the signs I made. Len Quote

rjR Posted November 1, 2016 Report Posted November 1, 2016 It is very nice work. The clear outdoor weather resistant finish is called Spar varnish or marine varnish! It doe work much better than just clear poly! Quote

lawson56 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Posted November 1, 2016 Todd They are Fantastic. Lets hope they are not abused.Beautiful work, Quote
Frank Pellow Posted November 1, 2016 Report Posted November 1, 2016 You did a nice job on those and I the way that the symbol and the letters pop out, I hope that they will be more effective than the "normal" handicapped parking signs. In my experience, far too many ignorant/selfish/lazy/dolts utilize handicapped parking slots when they have no right to do so. I have, on occasion, taken such people to task and they have always claimed that they did not see the sign. These signs will be very hard to miss. And, I too, recommend spar varnish or spar urethane for signs that are exposed to the elements. Quote
