WRC Dimensional Sign Letter Care and Mounting

Western Red Cedar Dimensional Sign Letters, available in a Western Style Font, are a very economical and attractive way for the Do-it-Yourself-er to build a high impact sign for a fraction of the cost of pay-to-install channel or metal letters. This guide is to make you aware of the special care, mounting and handling requirements for wooden sign letters, and in particular those you can purchase from "Affordable 3D Signs", an Ebay store.

Available fonts & Sizes:

5” Tall Western Upper case only Letters, numbers, punctuation

Description:

This sign letter is CNC cut from ½” thick Western Red Cedar board. This material is naturally rot and insect resistant. Our tooling process may leave some fuzz on sides of letters, but this does not affect the intended use of the letters. The front face of the letter is sanded, the back and sides are not. The color of the cedar wood will vary from dark brown to tan to light brown with white to even red or pink streaks. Random knots could occur anywhere on letter, however the knots will not be loose, and there will not be any knot holes.

Recommended Use:

The rustic look of these letters make them very attractive. Great for inside or outside signage.

Mounting:

These letters can be mounted with adhesive caulks, structural adhesive, double sided foam tape, screws, or nails. If using nails or screws, the letters should be mounted on a flat surface, uneven pressure on the letters could break them. Pilot holes of the correct size should be drilled through the letters before screws or nails are inserted, do not over tighten, letters are fragile. If the mounting surface is uneven caulking can be applied to the back in varying thicknesses to keep letter level. If attaching screws or nails from the back, be careful not to crack the letter, drill blind pilot holes if possible.

Repair or modification:

These letters can be repaired if broken. Gorilla glue works well. Try to apply pressure to close the joint while glue is drying.

Painting:

Can be clear coated, stained, or painted with most any finish suitable for wood.
