You could always put a backer of some against the corrugated wall to catch the light on an even surface. Probable would need to outline the letters a bit. If you did one solid piece you could mount the whole thing in one shot.

Cost of living out here is pretty high. Most people that work for the University including managers commute in from another county. Those who do live in town have a two income family. I'm not one of that group. I think I have a better handle on how to investigate thanks to Geneva.

Simple answers, lack of funds. Plus it is a smallish town and already saturated. I work for the college here that has a fully functioning sign operation with seven people on staff as well as a separate design department for large projects. They don't have a very good grasp on cost of living so...

Good idea! Was starting here first since I respect most of the advice I have seen given.

Ah, the structure here is not quite like private sector jobs. The shop is moving to a system where everyone is required to cross train on equipment. IE, engravers, routers, printer, cutters, installation and production will all be rolled into one job designation with simple designs coming into...

Long story short, I am big time lobbying for a raise other than the standard 3 percent or so a year I usually get. I have been in the sign industry for 30+ years. I have experience with design, sales, fabrication and installation of all sign types. I can run all machinery involved in...

I have done a few of these outside. If you do outside make sure it is not too hot and hopefully have a shaded area. If it is too hot the vinyl stretches and your panels will not line up. There should be information from the manufacturer about the proper temperature range for application.

That's why I recommend the Silicone. Some of our vendors require it.

Doesn't need to be fancy/expensive, most foam DBT works especially if you add a dab of 100% silicon.

Did they post heat it after application? That is what I was taught to do by a colleague who does a lot of wraps.

Looks like there is something on the roller or you had stopped the roller during lamination. I haven't laminated in a while so I don't remember the work around.

You can tell Windows not to update but eventually they will phase out support to the version you like. I have an old computer that won't run Windows 11 and had to do this because 11 stopped me in my tracks because of memory demands.

We used to go door to door. Not sure the scope of what you provide but if we saw lights out in channel letters, monument signs or cabinets we would stop in and offer services. Fading or peeling vinyl were also good spots to check as long as the area seemed to be maintained. Most people don't...

Try Displays to Go That's who we use now but not sure about sizes. I don't order here.
