LOL, I’ve been keeping my eye on the signs too!!!

Here there is an ordinance that your signs must be removed within 24hrs of polls closing. After that it is free game. I got a couple really big 4x8 signs that I hope are around tomorrow night.

I like our new ordinance - NO signs along the highway or in the median. There used to be thousands, now there are none. I don’t miss them a bit - it looks SO much nicer this year.

Unfortunately I have better odds of having a mad weekend romp with Kiera Knightly :smiley: than I do with ever coming into that kind of money :frowning:

#27

How do you a) stick anything to coroplast? b) paint it?

#28

Solvent cements work well. A cheap one would be PVC pipe cement. It should take paint like any other plastic; but it can scratch off easily. I’d use a plastic formulated paint like Fusion or if that isn’t available standard lacquer paints… When we print on it we use solvent inks.

Good info Jon, Thanks. I’m taking notes. At working with plastic I’m a rank beginner, but learning…

I scored 3 - 4’x4’ signs and 13 - 18X24, I have my bid in on 6 sheets of 4’x8’ setting behind a local party’s temp Hdqr. Now for the right project to put it to use.

I’ve always wondered what other places were to do with all them signs after elections were over, here by law someone is supposed to schlep out there and gather them all up (that would be fun in rain or snow) and stuff them into the recycling bins, glad to hear some are getting reused, seams a huge waste to just toss the rest of them.

Yep I scored some of the small signs I guess they are 24" x 18" and two 4’ x 4’ signs. I plan to use E6000 for gluing the pieces together and also laminating the Prescion Products plastic sheets. Will that glue work ok?
