I have an old early Porsche sign which is kind of brittle. I would like to make it more sturdy by applying an addition clear layer? Any experience, suggestions where to start?
Thanks
Richard

Speak with a sign maker that does plastics for advice... my guess is that fiberglass resin may be the answer provided it doesn't react with whatever plastic yours is made of.
IIRC, thermoset (i.e., polycarbonate) materials should be OK. Brush or spray a coating on the inside of the sign, just as you might encapsulate surfboard substrate. Good luck!
Thanks Russ, this is the direction I am thinking off.

I had a similar issue years ago. I had the sign wrapped in clear vinyl protective wrap by a company that wraps cars. Made a tremendous difference.
^^^ Now that's a different and far less invasive approach, bet it worked well.
I don't think that will work w/ this lighted sign since it has much "relief" to it:

BTW Please feel free to post a picture of other lighted signs. I just like lighted Porsche signs.

I have this one I was told was from the 80’s. Plastic / fiber glass is very thick and sturdy.
