Yup... Reflective vinyls come in colors, and that's what police vehicles use (around here anyway), black for black vehicles, white for white, etc, just cut & lay.... Reflectives aren't true solid colors like paint or print, so there's usually enough contrast for daytime visibility without any...

If it's painted on it's probably MultiSpec... A sprayable architectural coating. Used to use a ton of it making displays, Sherwin Williams was a distributor back when I used to use it. I think Hallman Lindsay also carries another brand similar to it. It's pretty cool stuff, you pretty much...

Define normal... ;)

Place I retired from usually had an average of 40-50 people working there (as many as 200 at times). We designed and manufactured POP/ POS displays, and major trade show exhibits for national/ international accounts. All the Mastercraft, Jeldwen, Weathershield, Peachtree, Pella, hell most of the...

Another alternative is Evercoat's Feather Fill or Super Build 4:1 Polyester high build primers. Plus you can get it locally from parts stores that carry the brand for the auto body industry, I know Oreilly's is one of them.

I think whoever took this company over is in over their heads if they're actively doing this. We do national accounts (some on their sell sheet), local stuff is secondary work, it comes to us, we don't go seeking it. Bet the reason her husband got her father's business instead of her is because...

Think about it. You'll no longer be making tweets, you'll be making X-posts, and uploading X-videos... Someone didn't think this through :roflmao:

I find it hilarious...

What kind of cutter? What software?

Absolutely for the rubber roller, but for the metal grit rollers (which I assume he's talking about by referring to the "lower" roller) brushes won't cause any damage.

Holographic comes in two breeds, PVC and polyester. PVC and PVC coated can be printed on solvent/ ecosol machines, for UV printers you can use either, not sure which you would need for latex. Schein has a large selection of holographic media, I think Sign Warehouse carries the brand. I rarely...

I don't run a graphtec, but they're all the same. A 60 degree blade is more for std vinyls. Sometimes they'll work in a pinch for heavy stuff, but it's not really meant for it. The 45 degree blades are for slightly heavier material, and the 30 degree blades are for thicker stuff like reflective...

That you'll have to experiment with, there's no "one pressure works on every machine". Do test cuts, increase pressure till it weeds easy, clean, and you can just see a line where the blade hits the backer. With thick media or lam, slow it down too, cutting too fast will just cause jamming...

You don't now?

You can get cleaning brushes from any hardware store, cheapest at Harbor Freight. They look like toothbrushes, but stiffer, come in nylon, brass and stainless bristles. They work great for grit rollers & such, if they're too gunked up for the nylon one, you just step up to the brass one. I use...

I agree. I learned throughout my life how much more faithful, loyal, and trustworthy pets can be compared to people. I'm on wife #5, four did deal breakers, never had a pet commit a single one.

I'm at that point too... If I get another I know I'll out-live it, my wife is younger, but would have a hard time taking care of one by herself with all her medical issues. Plus she never wants to go through this again either.

Thanks everyone. He was waaayyyy above the pay grade of a reprobate like me. Got him when he was six weeks old from a friend, he was the runt of the litter no one wanted, so she just gave him to us. Within a couple of months, I was in bed one night, wife was up (she has MS and often can't...

After years of retirement, my best buddy "Ozzy" didn't like me leaving every day again, so he went to the shop with me almost every day. He was quiet, kind, gentle, even had a girlfriend there (owners have a miniature schnauzer that they started bringing in too). He put in as many hours as I...

Dealerships have the authority to use branding for lines they sell. If anything is corporate related, just make sure you use the proper logo, like if it carries the actual "GM" logo in addition to to any others, they updated that in 2021. Make sure you use corporate colors, don't manipulate...
