Page "hobbies" Paragraph 1062

For large letters, e.g. thermoformed of acrylic or butyrate, there are other techniques.

For example, in a typical store installation, fifty 24-in. and six 36-in. red acrylic letters were mounted against a white painted wood background.

The fact that even the larger letters weighed only 5 lb. each made it possible to secure the letters to the building through clear acrylic angle brackets cemented to the letters.

Stainless steel screws were used to minimize corrosion stains.

For mounting to corrugated plastic backgrounds, very small holes may be drilled in the sides of the letters and stainless steel wire threaded through the openings, its ends twisted behind the panels.
