Step 1: Design your logo
First, draw your design sketch on a piece of paper, or use graphic design software. Choose the font and style that suits your aesthetic. Please remember that simple designs are most suitable for beginners.
Step 2: Prepare acrylic sheets
Choose the acrylic sheet material of the color you have chosen. Use a glass pipe cutting machine to carefully cut the board to meet your design dimensions. Polish the edges smooth with sandpaper.
Step 3: Shape neon tubes
Carefully bend the neon tube to match your design outline. Make sharp corners or complex shapes with pliers. Be careful and take your time to avoid any twisting or breakage of the sleeve.
Step 4: Connect the electrodes and wiring
Connect the electrodes to each end of the neon tube. Connect the electrode wiring to the transformer/power supply. Carefully check the connection to ensure the safety and reliability of the circuit.
Step 5: Gas bending
Use a gas burner or propane torch to heat the neon tube at the bending point. Gently bend the sleeve into the desired shape. Be patient and gradually bend to achieve a smooth and professional appearance.
Step 6: Connect the neon light tube to acrylic acid
Apply epoxy adhesive along the back of the neon tube and carefully press it onto the acrylic board according to the design contour. Ensure that the pipeline is firmly connected to the acrylic resin and dry it according to the adhesive instructions.
Step 7: Test your neon sign
Connect the wire to the power supply and turn it on to test your neon sign. Ensure that the pipeline emits uniform light and the design is clear and visible.
