| Formed Plastic letters and logos are
thermoformed from cellulose acetate butyrate extruded by Gemini. CAB, unlike oil
based acrylics, is a wood and cotton based, non-fading, 100% recyclable plastic providing
greater impact resistance, weatherability and more flexibility in recreating your designs
with a lifetime guarantee. |

| Flat Cut Acrylic, Gemlite, and all Channel letter faces
are made of Gemini's extruded acrylic. Oil based, and perhaps one of the most common
materials used in signage, Gemini extruded acrylic contains UV stabilizers to ensure color
fastness. This material is manufactured with high-gloss mirror quality surface free of
pits or blemishes. Full color selection is only available in thinner guages. |

Natural
Satin: |
|
 |
Patina: |
| Letters are stroke
sanded and returns are bead-blasted before being coated with a two-part, hardened acrylic
polyurethane coating. All Gemini paint booths utilize a filtered air, paoitive pressure
system to minimize particulate in the finish. All Gemini ovens are walk-in (to reduce
handling of letters while wet), controlled temperature ovens to ensure accurate
temperature for proper curing. |
|
Gemini's patina is
created using traditional methods using multiple application of heat and chemical
treatments to oxidized bronze letters. The bronze utilized is lead free bronze. The green
and gold hues that develop on the letter's surface will vary from letter to letter;
exhibiting a non-uniform weathered appearance. |

Baked Enamel: |

 |
Oxidized: |
| Letters are stroke sanded and
returns are bead-blasted before being coated with a two-part, hardened acrylic
polyurethane coating. All Gemini paint booths utilize a filtered air, positive pressure
system to minimize particulate in the finish. All Gemini ovens are walk-in (to reduce
handling of letters while wet), controlled temperature ovens to ensure accurate
temperature for proper curing. Choose from 38 standard colors, any metallic automobile
color, or your own custom color. Specify either matte or gloss. |

US10B finish. Lead free bronze is
used for all oxidized letters. Letter faces are stroke sanded, with bead blasted returns.
Before being oven baked with a tow part hardened acrylic polyurethane clear coat, letters
are chemically treated to accelerate the oxidization process. |

Anodized: |
|
 |
Polished: |
| Gemini anodizes in large capacity
tanks to asure uniformity of colorization for letters in your order. Anodizing dyes
available include medium bronze, dark bronze, gold, black, or clear; with either polished
or stroke sanded faces. Side returns are bead blasted. This electrochemical process
increases hardness and durability of aluminum-which makes anodized letters an excellent
choice for exterior applications that would normally be subject to UV, corrosion, or other
harsh environments. |
|
US9 Finish. Letter faces are
stroke sanded and returns are hand sanded before being polished by craftsmen with ears of
polishing experience. All letters are cleaned to remove all traces of oxidation, before
being treated with two part clear acrylic polyurethane. Gemini paint booths utilize a
filtered air positive pressure system to minimize particulate in the finish. Finally, the
letters are baked in controlled temperature ovens to assure proper curing. |
