  2. Canned Air...

    When I install interior stud-mounted letters I use a cordless DeWalt vac to clean dust and debris from the holes before installing the letters. But when installing outside, I use canned air to clean the holes as well as dust from the letters, the surrounding wall, etc. Works great, but stinks...
  3. Another SDS (combo) deal...

    I'll preface this by saying I have no clue how either of these will perform - but I'm pretty hopeful. The reviews are really good. This deal includes a cordless SDS rotary hammer and a cordless oscillating tool. If you've never used one, the oscillating tools are life savers. Originally the...
  4. Anyone else affected...?

    This is my brother (the bald dude) in this video. Their condos caught on fire on Saturday. It apparently started with a brush fire and spread to the condos. He got the kids out and his wife was at the store, but they lost everything - clothes, videos, photos, wedding & engagement rings, cash -...
  5. Some basic vinyl care/shipping questions...

    Scenario: Large project, hundreds of 5'h x 3'w vinyl graphics are being rolled up on a tube and shipped to installers. Issue 1: The vinyl was rolled onto the tubes but not taped down, causing it to come slightly unrolled during shipping. This in turn caused some of the premask and/or carrier...
  6. Gemini letter pricing...

    Can someone tell me what twenty-six 3½" x .250" acrylic letters with serifs and horizontally-brushed aluminum laminate would retail for? Feel free to PM me if you would prefer. Thanks!
  7. Adhesives...

    For installing dimensional letters, ADA signs, etc., I normally use clear silicone - usually GE ll, sometimes GE l. GE l is just over $5 a tube, GE ll is just over $6 a tube. While I don't want to sacrifice using a quality product, I've been looking around to see what other options there are...
  8. Banner frame systems...

    It's been a long while since I've had to deal with banner frame systems. Can any of you recommend a system or supplier or Merchant Member that offers this (other than the obvious like SignComp)? I'm looking for something for pretty large banners (roughly 30'h x 10'w) on an exterior fascia...
  9. Any idea...

    ...what kind of adhesive this might be? This stuff was ridiculously stretchy and a pain to remove. I know it's a shot in the dark, but thought someone on here might be have a clue what it was. It was almost like mastic. Weird. Anyway, the stuff did it's job pretty well...wouldn't mind having...
  10. Peeling vinyl...

    I have a customer that is having issues with interior vinyl wall graphics being picked at by little kids. They pick at the seams and once it gets started, everyone keeps picking at it. I'm wide open to any ideas to remedy this. One of the possibilities being considered is printing directly...
  11. Finally got my garage straightened up...

    Took forever to get the floors swept and mopped. Stinkin' Bentley is always right in the way...
  12. Any Wordpress Nextgen guru's...?

    On this page and this page, the thumbnails each have a black border and then a 'stacked' effect. Does anyone know how to eliminate those items? I would also like the thumbnails on those pages to be a bit larger. I'm going to post on the support forum, but thought I'd try here as well...
  13. Nothing exciting...some recent installs...

    Not sure how many of you have installed stud-mounted letters in aggregate or jagged rock, but it's kind of a huge pain. The aggregate busts off almost as soon as you hit it with the rotary hammer. So there's a whole series of steps you have to go through to accurately drill your holes for the...
  14. Full window vinyl install...

    Curious where you guys would be at time-wise on a window measuring 100"h (±) x 66"w (±)? There are a few vertical and a few horizontal. The vinyl will be digitally printed to include text/graphics which will need to be staggered around the mullions. Thanks!
  15. Looking for SEO help...

    This is something I basically haven't given any attention to on my site and am frankly not sure of where to start. If there are any members (Merchant preferred) that offer this as a service, I'd like to talk to you to get an idea of pricing, process, etc. Thank you in advance.
  16. Online chat representative...

    Does anyone integrate this into their site? Not sure I'd really have the time to implement it, but just curious who uses it and what kind of results you see. I know when I want questions answered quickly on Amazon, etc., I love being able to use the feature.
  17. Channel letter install...

    This is an install done by the previous sign company I worked at. Thought some of you may enjoy it. When I get into a difficult project, this is one of the ones I look back on and think "it could always be worse!". Install Video I know - the music....ugh.
  18. Thoughts?

    So as a refresher or for those that don't know - I provide installation for other sign companies (non-illuminated signs)... I have a "by customer" portfolio and have also added a "by sign type" portfolio (still under construction). I know what I provide is different than most members here, but...
  19. Logos with "hidden messages"...

    Wifey sent this to me. Most of them were pretty familiar but the Pittsburgh Zoo one was new to me. It's a pretty awesome design...
  20. Master XY-380P & SignGo

    I have basically zero experience with the software or hardware side of things when it comes to cutting vinyl. That being said, I have a Master XY-380P and SignGo. I'm guessing this is probably a very, very basic setup but functional for small projects...? I would like to be able to...
