We leave the protective plastic on for transport of the signage. This sign was made for Melbourne.
When you need your metal letters to be lifted away from the wall the rear side threaded bolt pins can be inserted into holes and either
glued into the cavity or you can also add nuts to the rear side. Each bolt is heat welded (spot) to the underside.
Stainless or Mild Steel
Use stainless steel for metal letters where the metallic natural look is required. Use Mild steel for colored letters. When using mild
steel for the lettering or logo, the sections must be powder coated or baked enamel.
There is a price category dedicated to cut out letters and logos at QSonline.
When using the laser, the protective plastic cover is left on until the last stage. When lasering unprotected metals, a thin water solution
is used to prevent sparks from damaging the surface. If you would like to see the laser cutting machine working, try the MyVideo pages where you can see the
cutter head blasting through thick stainless, thick steel, plastic acrylic, MDF, and other substrates.
Weight of Stroke
This photo shows that certain heights and thicknesses of the letters can not have pins. The weight of stroke (WOS) must be wider than
15mm for the spot welded pins. If you use a very thin font, it may not be suitable for rear pins. Please call, the design team can quickly set up a few words
on the graphic system and let you know the weight of stroke and suitability.

Also at the MyVideo pages, watch the fitting of a banner stand, poly welding plastic
letters together to form a strong bond, watch first hand how we assemble a light box and insert the opal acrylic sign slides. Each video gives you great insight
into making signs for Australia.
