  1. Does anyone charge for site visits?

    We also do not charge for site visits if the visit is within our metro......our sales reps are usually driving all of metro everyday. Outside of what we call metro (25 miles) we do charge a hourly rate. Most times we do a site visit only after we have been awarded the job and have our 50% deposit.
  2. Can you wrap blindfolded?

    Sure I can wrap blindfolded.....but why would I. Who practices this stuff ? Justin came to our shop years ago and put on a clinic for our installers....he must have too much time on his hands :P
  3. Is this a 3M problem or am I just a hack installer?

    Good advice from papabud. Primer 94 is a must on a concave surface. A little prep and primer saves a lot of headaches down the road.

  6. pucks caps and spacers

    I cannot identify the specific brand. You may have to replace all three. Mustang or Pizazz mono mounts. Any sign supply store will carry these. http://www.mustangvisual.com/ http://www.pizazzmultimounts.com/

    3M IJ39. ND would carry this.

  10. Source for painted 18 x 24 0.80 aluminum sign blanks

    Have you thought of powder coating?.
  11. lost a job to a competitor story :)

    We have 6 sign shops in a 1 mile radius. We always try to give the customers options when providing renderings/proofs. Kind of a bronze, silver gold package with the features and benefits of each. We started taking this approach after loosing jobs to competitors that are supplying...

    Also keep in my any heat that my telegraph/transfer. You may see this telegraphing on the face of the ACP.
  13. Terminology ?

    Architects and interior designers can be the worst to deal with. Sometimes a conversation is needed to inform them that the material with not allow he process they are asking for. I kid you not. I had an interior designer call for "clear aluminum halo lit push thru". WTF? LOL
  14. What do you do with a customer that is never happy

    Proof proof and re-proof all shop drawings. Make sure they sign and date everything and over charge for all the hassles and last minute changes and site visits. We all have the "never happy" customer.
  15. Permit bounced back for lack of "shear or pullout values"

    Do you by chance belong to a sign association? They can provide most specs and engineered drawings for flag mounts, awnings, cradles, wind loads, anchoring systems etc.. you purchase the stamps with your yearly registration fee for the upcoming year. I am not sure if this helps you on this...
  16. Negative Space

    Very cool indeed. I shared it with my entire staff and design team. Thanks you for the post
  17. 20 ft water tower wrap

    3m 180 or 480 is also what I would use. There may be cheaper materials out there but the labor saved by using the 480 will by far make up for it.
  18. Question about installing this wall wrap

    I would agree. At that height the seams would be unnoticeable or insignificant. I would also show each seam in your rendering or proof so your customer is aware upfront of what they will receiving as a final product.
  19. Oracal 751 on PVC sign post

    3M 94 Primer or equivalent is always a good choice when applying vinyl to LSE. Of course depending on square footage being applied.
