re: My New Series Dr Who Tardis Build (image heavy)
1/1/18 As mentioned earlier, this sign making process didn't end up being the final version. I later figured out how they make the sign for the show prop.
While it's too cold outside to finish up my sandblasting, I spent some time on the PTO door sign today. As mentioned before, I'm applying 1/16" thick black acrylic letters. I'm using 2mil thick 3M VHB tape to stick the letters down. I applied one side of it to the back of the black before I cut the letters out, then pull up the other side with very pointy tweezers, place on the white very lightly, adjust the location until I think it's correct, and press it down, which creates an incredibly strong bond. It's tedious work, but I like the result so far.
