Pretty darn nice got a place to try it
Thanks Larry! We dig this one
I really like this! Thanks.
Our pleasure, buddy 👍👍
Nice. Practical and it looks good.
Thanks man. We're pretty happy with how it turned out
Fantastic job Eric I remember watching you and your dad explaining and making a sign very simulator have a great day
Thanks man! That video was hecka long ago!
Nice job EZ E...🤘🤘🤘
Thanks buddy!!
👍👍👍.Thanks Lads
👍👍 anytime buddy!
Perfect timing on the video Eric and Ryan, I have an order for a reflective sign and have the glass beads. Thankyou for the demonstration 😊
We aim to please!😂😂
I have used the reflective beads myself and they are great. Love the sign!
Thanks Bill!!
I found some black reflective paint on Amazon to try for mine about a yr or so ago now that works well also.
We'll have to give that a shot. That sounds pretty cool
Most definitely. Black day appearance and reflective at night.
Viziglow was the name.
I didn’t wait the hour and had to reapply the glass beads so thanks for that hint. Can’t wait to see how well the sealer holds up outside. Also hope the paint gets your approval. One shot is expensive!
That stuff worked really well. We'll probably get more of it
Aan always great content guys. I will have to try that myself someday. Where do you get the glass beads from?
You can get it on Amazon for pretty cheap. I put a link in the description that'll take you right to it.
Thank you sir! I missed the link.
Did I miss something. How do the glass beads adhere to sign if paint dry.
The paint wasn't dry, but it was tacky. The paint we used takes quite a while to dry so we let it set for an hour before we spread the glass bead
I just tried my 3/8 90° bit and I have to say I was blown away.
Right? That bad boy is a beast!
@@oldave100 it made short work of my strong man stencil back ground. I absolutely love it.
So the paint needs to be tacky I think that's was my problem when I try it thanks for all your videos
No problem👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great idea, but I thought you said that you were moving?
Thanks Mark! We are, but the new owners can have it
Do you have that flag that is on your mailbox as a template..? I love the look of it.. thanks.. have a nice day..
We have several different flags as templates, but this is a super old flag we used to sell ab ok it 20-25 years ago
Nice job, going to have to make a few of these for friends and family
Thanks Don!
looks good. but is this not an interior paint?
One shot is actually an automotive paint and this stuff seems to be really similar .
This was real useful to know. I wasn't familiar with the glass beads. They show up nicely at night. I'm anxious to know how the different paint you tried works out because One Shot is too expensive for the few projects I would use it for. Also interested in finding out how the clear holds up outside. Sign looks great!!!
Thank you Miss Lori. The Ronan paint seems to work like the one-shot. We'll keep everyone posted how this holds up[ outside.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 again. What a cool idea !
Thanks buddy!!
Where did you buy the paint at
You can get it on Amazon
Hello.What miron size glass beads are you using there? AMAZON US stock is currently unavailable.
To be honest, I really can't remember. We've had this stuff for quite a while and don't have the packaging. But it shouldn't really matter and long as it sticks to the paint
Thank you very much. I have been watching your and your Family’s videos the last 2 years and you have taught me everything I know about carving wood signs here In Canada. Glad that you take the time to share your knowledge. Watched your video on that critter paint sprayer but decided to use a couple of different airbrushes instead. They are perfect to be able to stay away from the aerosol cans. Still use aerosol flat for the letter spraying only. Airbrush the clear coats inside the house as well. Thanks Again.
@@footlingjohnson8014 we sure appreciate all of the support buddy!
Wow, that came out great! But, now I have questions!😀
I made a 2x12x12 for my old work. It was also in a rural area with a hard to find turnoff.
I used a primer. Do you find that you get good durability without it?
I also used exterior house paint. That stuff dried so fast that hubbie essentially had to follow directly behind with the beads. Even 5 min and they wouldn’t stick. Did your paint stay tacky that whole hour?
At the time, I had read posts that said that if you use a clear coat, it will reduce the reflective effect of the beads. Did you do any testing before and after the clear coat?
Sorry for all of the questions!! But the beads did appear to sink in a lot, and there didn’t seem to be a sweet spot between the application and the sprinkling.
Thanks so much!
#1 we didn't use any primer before we painted. There really wasn't a need for it.
#2 the one shot paint takes quite a while to dry so we waited an hour before we laid the bead.
#3 we did all the finishing before we painted. The bead was the last step.
Hope this helps👍👍
Thanks for the update ❤@@oldave100
