This week we embarked upon the tenuous journey of creating a lighted box sign using translucent vinyl.
It starts with the construction of the box sign itself. Here, our fearless leader fastens the last of the structural pieces and fishes through the wiring…
Our install ninja was left with the task of painstakingly weeding out all of the letters from the blue background…
Now it’s application time. This large roll is actually the largest piece of masking tape ever. We use this to transfer the vinyl from its backing to the box sign…
Your humble narrator assisted with this job, making sure the application tape remaied unwrinkled as it laid down.
Squeegee time!
Again, our install ninja moves at blinding speeds (sometimes breaking the sound barrier), as he squeegees the application tape down.
Because of the shear size of the sign. The vinyl had to be cut in two parts and spliced together seamlessly. Here, our dynamic duo lay in the second part of the blue.
Finally, the blue is laid out and ready for the second color…
And now it’s magic time. Here are the completed signs (with the red vinyl carefully laid over the blue).
