I plan on using alumilite for a double sided exterior sign and I've never made a changable copy sign before. I found this trim in a Marv-O-lus catalog and an ext. tape in a Display Products cat. I kinda like the idea of using only sissors and tape to fabricate this....kinda like girlscouts...Or does anyone know a one stop supplier for a track and tape that has held up well for similar applications?
Thanks,

hey there...

just a thought while pondering what phil does the rest of the year....

just my opinion... use the track that was made for changable copy. real track for real letters. it should be easy enough to rivet the track down to the material. i wouldn't trust the letter to track that wasn't engineered especially for the letters ans i sure has heck wouldn't use tape to hold it down.

my daddy taught me a long time ago that if you svae time taking shortcuts, it just might leave you enough time to do it again...

give me a call at the shop and i will be happy to walk you through all the nuances of changable copy track.

have a great one!
