1" thick HDU, two coats of Jay Cook primer.
2 coats of OneShot black enamel
Sponges and feathers.
2 coats of UV resistant clear.
Sign is 3 pieces. One seam across, one seam vertical. Done with
TruMatch (wavy bit) and Gorilla Glue.
At 67" x 107" the thing had to be done in sections because my CNC is
only 50 x 100

Very nice. Fine calligraphic choice. Smart
spacing. Wise finish with the clear coats.
The people at the facial reconstruction clinic will love
it even in Braille.

Talked to all kinds of sign people on different forums and nothing
works as well as Gorilla glue on HDU. It is essentially the same
material. That glue has its place, but I am not sure that woodworking
is it. It's sure is yucky to work with.
Then, while leveling the seam, the GG sands as nice as the HDU ... and
it is waterproof.

BTW, Did you notice one of the potlights is directly on a seam? Clever

Yep ... but par for the course. First rule of a subcontractor is to always
place the worst board, tile, ugliest piece, seam at the entrance! A stick
of #3 always ends up on the threshold.

Don't laugh.... well yea, do laugh. A local sign painter had two yacht
transoms to paint. Elaborate lettering. Worked away the best part of
two weeks, gold leaf etc. Then came the season and the yachts were
taken out of this storage hangar and placed in their respective
births. Right names, right slips, wrong boats. Good thing there were
only two yachts in that section.
He also discovered that working in a heated tent on a scaffold,
shielded from the bad weather, with custom lighting is a whole lot
easier than bobbing on a raft in spring weather.
Hey, I laughed, but it is sooo hard not to needle the guy when I run
into him at the pub.

1" HDU (18#) is pretty rigid. It is flat on its own. Tapcons along the
top and aluminum rail along the bottom. The rest sort hoover on a bed
of DAP 50-year silicon.

Yes, it looks like the lights are centered over the doors originally,
but looking at the spacing of the panels, it wouldn't have worked unless

Beautiful job!
My wife has done the same, but in a smaller scale.
We have a couple of shelves, both 1" x pine, that were done the same
way, only smaller. One in the lobby and one under a mirror in a hallway.
People think it is real marble. She also did some pine backsplash trim
to match the black uba tuba granite countertop.

Kind of hard to make the potlights look uniform considering the underside

Thank you, Leon & Mike. This whole sign thing is taking on a life of
its own... and I am loving it.
Funny thing is, when I was talking to cnc owners before I bought mine,
I was told by several people that I had no idea where that machine was
going to take me. *I* thought I knew what I was going to do with it,
but it has a mind of its own....
(in the voice of HAL9000)
CNC: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can
give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.
I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission.
And I want to help you.
Rob: I want to make a fireplace mantle.
CNC: I'm sorry, Rob. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Rob: What's the problem?
CNC: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Rob: What are you talking about, CNC?
CNC: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize
it.
