You'll have to excuse me. I am new and as I'm doing this I'm getting tid bits of info from my fellow co-workers because I'd like to know what the break down is for one 2 foot letter on neon as well. I work in a shop where verbal communication is hard but things get done here. I want to learn more but, the communication barrier is there again. Hense why I'm here.
I asked a few who weren't too busy and I was trying to average it out. I'm sure my math and configuration is off that's why I was asking for help. I figured our bender here, who I think makes about 18-25 per hour. He says he can bend about 2-5 letters an hour depending on what kind of letter. I THINK With our setup he says we can process about 10-20 letters, depending on who is here, and this can change on the type of glass. So my 6$ figure was based on dividing the quantity by hourly pay, I did not really account for cost of glass and gas. I can't imagine it's too much, but then again i don't do the purchasing here.
Am I off? I got the figures about watts per foot from this site that has the chart. I measured out one of the neon patterns that was 15mm snow white.
What do you think this figure would be per letter?
