    Gino: thanks for the information. Is it safe to stain the cedar as soon as you buy them?

  2. Need Help What kind of 4x4 and 6x6 wood posts are you guys using?

    Hi guys, For years I have tried using Lowe's treated posts for ground burial to hold a sign up when a customer wants an all wooden sign. It was wreckless using those posts, you never knew whether the customer would be calling you 6 months down the road because the posts had warped, cracked, or...

  6. Vinyl Image Cracking After Clear Coat

    Hey guys, I have an MDO sign with a large printed image on it made of 3m vinyl that is laminated.

  11. Cast Arlon Vinyl Prints

    Hey Guys, Question for you all. I have a small sign shop in WV and have an in-house cutter but have always outsourced my prints mainly due to space restrictions at my location. I have a wholesale supplier for my intermediate vinyl prints but not for my cast stuff. (if you know of anybody...

  12. Vinyl Laminate or Liquid Laminate?

    You will have to excuse my ignorance when it comes to clear coats and laminates, it is new territory for this die cut vinyl guy. Will basically any automotive high solids clear stick to the vinyl or is there a particular brand I should go after? I have sprayed frog juice to vinyl before so I'm...

  13. Vinyl Laminate or Liquid Laminate?

    Hey guys, I'm doing an ACM sign that will have cast Oracal vinyl and some real gold 22k stuff. I want the sign to last as long as possible since the 22k vinyl has a 15 year rating. Should I go with a liquid laminate like clear shield over the whole sign or a premium 3m overlaminate over it to...
