  1. What's the catch?

    I emailed the seller and it seemed very legit. He stated that there are no hidden charges. I just didn't know if I was missing something that a more savvy buyer would notice or had experience with.
  2. What's the catch?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Flexisign Pro 8.6 v2 (including softkey dongle) being sold for $199? I'm looking to upgrade from Flexi 6 and found this on an internet search. Any thoughts? Thanks.
  3. Paint over porcelainized steel

    Hello all! We are refurbing a 12' x 3' sign cabinet that is 12' in the air. Removing the cabinet is not an option. It was originally an orange porcelain finish but was painted over with blue. The blue is flaking terribly. Any recommendations on what to paint this with? We used our multitool to...
  4. HDU Sign Wholesaler?

    Good morning all. We usually do not touch these but we are being requested to do so by a client we work with closely. We have pics and drawings of this but basically we need a 39" x 28" x 3" HDU sign with eyebolt mounts in the top. Let me know if anyone is interested in helping us with this...
  5. Suggestions?

    Resolution Thanks everyone for the replies. I couldn't let this thread die without giving a resolution from Oracal. What a difference between that company and Avery. I followed the direction to contact them and dealt with Josh Culverhouse. Within a week we have a credit with Fellers for the...
  6. Suggestions?

    Rcook99: How did you go about speaking with Oracal? I buy all my vinyl through Fellers would you recommend contacting them first? I'm not bashing Oracal at all. I've never had a single failure even with 651, which I won't warranty. The fact that I only buy Oracal makes it easy for me to trace...
  7. Suggestions?

    Did Oracal work with you? I went through that years ago with Avery and won't waste my time doing that again. My biggest concern right now is where did the rest of that roll go? Thanks.
  8. Suggestions?

    Thanks for the replies Thanks everyone. We had already told our client that we were planning on travelling to New England to redo the lettering. They acted like we were crazy which got me wondering whether we were. Your input has made it clear what we should do. I have used Oracal 751 for ten...
  9. Suggestions?

    Good evening all! I wanted to get your input on a tricky situation we have found ourselves in. We install lettering for a local company that manufactures a specialized box truck. They sell these trucks to companies all over the country. They sent me pictures the other day of a truck I lettered 2...

    Thanks everyone for your input. Gary, we do not have our own waterjet but a state agency does five minutes from us and we can use it for a nominal fee. If we met in the middle on that by going 4' x 8' do you think the price is reasonable? For some reason I am coming out much higher when I figure...
  11. Quandary

    Sorry, I should have been a little more specific. This sign would be installed at the entrance to a subdivision on a heavily traveled street. With that in mind, my original design was to give this stability. Originally I wanted to utilize 3.5" extruded aluminum posts with a v-channel frame...
  12. Quandary

    Good morning all! Looking for some input and recommendations on a situation I am confronted with. Long story short, we have a client we have done some decent sized jobs for in the past that has asked us for a favor for a friend that is head of a home owners assoc for a development. The...
  13. Use of PVC for exterior sign

    Good morning. I have searched the forum and found several opinions on PVC but nothing that fits what I am wanting to do exactly. Here is what I need your opinion on. I have a non-profit client that is wanting to replace a bulky illuminated sign (4' x 5') with a smaller sign to give them a...
  14. Wholesale CNC Letters & Logos

    More info please I would be interested too in what you have to offer. Let me know what type of pricing structure you are developing. Thanks.
  15. Flexi 7.5 and USB to serial adapter

    Shawn: Thanks for your input but nothing is working as of yet. Here is what I did to make sure I am not missing a step: I installed the usb to serial adapter using its install cd. After I do that windows recognizes it as a com port under control panel. However, when I go into Flexi and...
