Sign

[Anonymous]

I need to make a couple of signs for the entrance to our village. The existing ones are hand painted on plywood with a graphic and wording. They are about 600mm square. I am suprised they have survived the elements for over ten years but they have now deteriorated to such a point they have to be replaced. I have an idea to replicate the sign onto paper and then laminate it to plywood or aluminium with a clear resin. This would then be fixed onto a thicker sheet of ply and capped and sealed on all edges. Has anyone any experience of casting resin over such an area ??

Why not rout it? If you have time it would make a much better sign and would stand the test of time. :wink:

I'd seriously consider using acrylic - cast acrylic has a life well in excess of 30 years and is easy to rout and clean
