  1. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    verdict is in! NOT GUILTY! they still stuck her with OWI, one year probation.
  2. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    honestly, Officer Kelly Dever would be my pick of the bunch if I was going to have a crush on anyone in this trial. ...i could even overlook the fact that she changed her story to protect the PD, and got a transfer with a $80k pay raise.
  3. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    after two years of following these trials, there's one thing for certain: i officially hate boston accents.
  4. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    my theory has always been the deceased confronting the guy sweating his gf, getting punched in the face, and the dog attacked causing him to fall down the basement stairs and conk his head on the workout equipment. cleanup/coverup ensues, and they wanted to plant his body in the snow for the...
  5. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    the first trial was a bit more exhausting, as the defense tried proving 3rd party culprit ....which I believe they did, but so much "he said, she said" drama it muddied the waters with too much info. this time around, they simply chose to prove that the CW's case was physically impossible and...
  6. Rattle can paint on tapcons?

    we do this all the time. stab an array of them into a piece of scrap foamboard and paint all at once. Bring some with for install to touch-up any scratches from your toolbit, spraying into the captop and using a Qtip/Brush to apply the paint.
  7. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    closing arguments today. Alan Jackson has got to be the best lawyer in the country, he has absolutely destroyed the CW's case no collision, not guilty. sad thing is, that the actual murderers will go free (pending FBI followup, whom have also been investigating this) and it took over a million...
  8. Wall Vinyl recommendation

    high tension on your laminate feed could also cause this sort of curling, but ij35 doesn't contour that pebbly texture so the perimeter of your letters will be barely holding-onto the highpoints of the surface finish. +1 to suggested arlon slx. personally, i use use grimco's briteline...
  9. Need Help Color shifted mid print and can’t get it back

    what printer? looks like ink starvation to me. sometimes the carts say they have more ink than they actually do, and i've pulled it out to shake & its bone dry. another ink starvation of mine way on my old mimaki, and the capping station wasn't refreshing ink-siphon of the lines/heads due to...
  10. AccuBend Freedom and Channel Letters - Tips?

    SDS is pretty awesome. ...but there's some merit in having three accubends for the price of one
  11. Vertical Inch Channel Letter Pricing?

    thinking on it some more, just figure out the most difficult letter to produce and use that as your price point. ...then "sharpen your pencil" if you're trying to be more competitive on a quote.
  12. Material suggestions for graphic application over rivets

    yes. apply controltac dry. never wet apply vinyl with air-release adhesive.
  13. Matthews cleaner alternatives

    PPG's H2O-So-Clean SWX350 is similar. we use denatured alcohol and/or paint thinner to clean/wipe raw surfaces depending. for painted surfaces, we just scrub with isopropyl alcohol&water after removing any adhesives with RapidRemover.
  14. This should be fun. :o

    i'd prefer new panels too, but if you want to save some cost for the client you can just upcharge the labor needed to remove/regraphic/reinstall might be able to simply apply new graphics to the backside of the existing panels, and just hit both sides of the holes with a countersink before...
  15. Need Help Trimming Margins while printing on eco-solvent printer

    pushing media through a blade just sounds like a recipe for buckling. sounds like a job for a blade-collar on the takeup core? like a circularsaw-style collar full of Xacto blades that cuts as it winds?
