Then there's the border, the lettering (Scott's name is a different color and larger font than the rest), the seal. <br /><br />Speaking as a modeler, not a sign-maker, it's generally considered a good idea to mask off and apply different elements as separate steps, allowing the paint to dry before the next step. Back of envelope guesstimate: five steps (base, border, black font, blue font, seal). Six if you add a sealer on top of the work. Six hours minimum, and that's pushing it.<br /><br />Perhaps there a super-quick-drying coat for sign making, or maybe the whole thing is a single, giant applique. But I'm guessing not.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009510589472382510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870530298450082582.post-1845481962926166962009-08-12T16:11:28.716-04:002009-08-12T16:11:28.716-04:00If this were some planned event to demonize Scott&...If this were some planned event to demonize Scott's critics, wouldn't it make more sense to leave the defaced sign in place for a while? <br /><br />How long does it take to make a sign anyway?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510846821197893475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870530298450082582.post-60743428904422437642009-08-12T13:24:06.498-04:002009-08-12T13:24:06.498-04:00Whoda thunk it?Whoda thunk it?samaBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435478008088739827noreply@blogger.com
