How to make Acrylic Business Signs // No Glue

[@christyknieper9904]

It looks great. The design looks fairly easy, I wouldn’t have charge either.

[@amandapowell7184]

They look so nice! What a great opportunity! She will love them. 😊

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thank you

[@anwarbasha9211]

Hi i am from India i sean your all videos Soo nice 👍 your explained too good and great demo.

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks

[@reliableaxis]

Hey my friend. Just wanted to thank you for this video as it was really helpful. In addition, I want to encourage you to keep making videos because it looks like you are just starting to gain some traction. I know it's been a long grind for a number of years now but, you are very close

[@queenofhearts786]

Wow! This is excellent. I use clear sheets and engrave the signs and then paint over it using acrylic paints. If I leave the sticker on when engraving, it becomes easier to paint once it’s dry I can peel off. However other times the sticker burns and gets stuck on the design which makes it difficult to paint. Any idea what’s the best way to?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

You could try a couple things. If you search contact paper on Amazon, it comes in a roll and you can use that to peel and then paint the negative area you peel off. Or you could also search for a roll of 3M sticky paper that you can apply to the back of the colored acrylic to then stick on the clear acrylic.

[@HueyF]

Very good looking signs! Thanks for the valuable tips.

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

I like talking lasers with you 😄

[@ajvaldez]

Great Video!!! I am thinking about buying a laser cutter!

[@sultanbinsultan1707]

It is a beautiful job, I wonder how you make acrylic adhere together without glue

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

I found the 3M adhesive on the back to be super simple. Also I have seen you can adhere acrylic to acrylic if you cut them at the same time they will weld.

[@markabalawabadu6941]

Very nice and clear explanation. What's the material in black you used?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thank you. The best acrylic I've found is from JDS or Trotec

[@paperedpaknship7697]

They look awesome!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks so much

[@JoeJoe-yp4xz]

Awesome work. Love the design

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks so much I appreciate that 🙏🏼

[@manramanjeetsingh9857]

Hy dear looking awms. I need to know how much speed you set and power max and min to cut the acrylic. Looking very good really keep it up

[@TheJu2ber]

That's awesome. How do you hang them? Double sided tape?

[@rcamoonpie648]

Great video! I’m using AF PINS to hold my acrylic up off the honeycomb. Really nice quality and easy to use! I may be looking in the wrong place online but I can’t find where to purchase TroTec products. And leads? Thanks

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Hi, if you go to Trotec website, they call their acrylic material "trolase". You can also check out other great laserable acrylic at JDS website

[@BeardyCurls]

How did we not know about your KZbin channel! GET IT👏👏👏

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

:) cuz I abandoned it after a year lol

[@BeardyCurls]

@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood time for a revival? 😁

[@jevely66]

That's really nice work!! Where do you get your acrylic? I have a friend who wants me to make him a sign for his new kennel. Thanks!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks ❤️ most acrylic I get from JDS or Trotec. It works for the amount of one of signs I get. If you do a lot of signs I hear it's better to start sourcing local. Tag me on insta @repnmyhood when you make yours sign!

[@johaniesobieski]

Bonjour :) quelle puissance et quelle vitesse utilisez vous ? merci beaucoup

[@Sim-Rig]

Fantastic result. was the adhesive allready applied on the acrylic sheet or do you buy and place that on yourself? I need ti make self adhesive letters

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks! I ordered the adhesive already applied to the back of the acrylic but you can also purchase the 3M adhesive as sheets on Amazon.

[@dianewang2311]

What is the sticker adhesive tape that you use called? I love the idea of no glue!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Hi, it's called 3M you can buy it in sheets and stick it to the back of acrylic before you laser

[@cgescape]

Hi Nickole... hows the machine working.. was planning to buy such a laser cutting product.. can you do a review video of the machine

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Love that idea 💡

[@lisawhite9725]

Very nice!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thanks! I really liked the modern look and colors fit so well together ❤

[@garrettp.5018]

Where do you get your acrylic from? I was born in Lutz,Fl BTW! Now live in SC!

[@allgoodthings4039]

I get my acrylic from 3 places typically, JDS, Johnson's Plastic Plus, and Trotec all online. That's cool you were born here before it all turned into not cows!

[@luxurycrafting7554]

Does the 3M hold up well over time on the sheet rock wall for the bathroom signs?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

I imagine. It's the same stuff you find in Target that has the hooks you place on walls. I haven't heard anyone yet complain..

[@fullbloomballoons2753]

Thank you for the video! What laser machine do you use?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Hi thanks I use a Trotec Speedy 300 80 watt

[@petrinawong1904]

hi there! is there a standard size for the drill holes (for hanging) that you do on all signs? trying to figure out best way to hang an acrylic exterior door sign and if I need to create these holes or if there is a better way as the holes may not work with my design. TIA!

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Hi! I found making the holes no smaller than .125" and most commonly .025" drill holes the best for signs I've made. These specific round signs I cut the 1/4" holes and then it was used to hang from the ceiling by the checkout stand

[@benitahewlett5330]

[@PopsCustomSignsLLC]

Nice craftsmanship!! I just subscibed.

[@makingadifference8740]

Niceeee 😍where did you get your machine?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thank youuuuuuu

[@mehi29]

Hi, been watchng a lot of videos. Could you tell me what masking tape you used? because i clicked the link and the tape that is showed is regular tan tape not double sided. thanks

[@mariameamouche5849]

What glue adhesive could you would you recommend to stick acrylic letters on clear acrylic board?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Hi, if it's going to be something you see on the back, then clear adhesive glue. Otherwise, superglue will work as well.

[@mariameamouche5849]

What glue brand would you recommend? Runny glue or more gel like?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

@@mariameamouche5849 try Weld On acrylic glue on Amazon

[@Alleyywalleyy]

What set u rep?

[@whatisthisidont]

What specific type of 3M tape did you use on the back of your sheets? Looks great

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Alexis thanks, the 3M only costs $2 for a quarter sheet when you have Trotec apply it when you buy the acrylic at checkout

[@shirazparacha2024]

How much one should charge for the circle logo ? And how much is the trotec acrylic sheet for reference. Thank u for showing us all the steps .

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

I should have charged at least a $45 minimum for design for the circle logo. And Trotec acrylic comes in full, half and quarter acrylic sheets, the size I used was quarter and they are usually around $15/sheet.

[@grafxbynando_vlogs]

Beautiful signs what would you price these at?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

Thank you. I didn't charge enough for these particular ones that I made but going forward I would charge $150 at least for the large pieces and the smaller one around $80 with the custom work

[@grafxbynando_vlogs]

@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood nice I would say $150 is a very good price is that each or $75 each?

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

@@grafxbynando_vlogs $150 each at least minimum. And at least a $45 design fee on top of that too 😊

[@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood]

@@grafxbynando_vlogs maybe even more? Let me know how your sales are 😊

[@grafxbynando_vlogs]

@@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood nice yes that sounds like good prices I would say it all depends on size and amount of material used

Bowing. Plastic bows as it heats. The larger the part, well....

@NickoleDavisRepnmyhood closest to burn and spreads out. You did good

[@carlwood846]

Why do you elevate acrylic off the bed?
