  1. Window Frosting (Application)

    Thanks. I don't remember where, but if you do a search for 'DeWalt laser pole', there are plenty of sources.
  2. Window Frosting (Application)

    The bubbles should be removed when first applying. The longer you wait, the less chance you'll be able to cleanly remove them. No pics to share...?
  3. Light Box - how to remove the insert?

    Typically, the retainers are just screwed on.
  4. Light Box - how to remove the insert?

    Yeah, pics would help. Just trying to help here: Lightbox: cabinet Frame: retainer(s) Insert: face
  5. Window Frosting (Application)

    The video is spot on as is the advice in this thread. You have everything you need to install correctly.
  6. Window Frosting (Application)

    8510 installs very easily, especially wet. It's a thicker material so it's a little easier to handle. As mentioned, apply transfer tape over the cut logo portion, no need to mask the whole sheet (see photos). As soon as you have the whole piece applied, squeegee the logo portion pretty firmly to...

    Thank you! Congrats! 10 years definitely feels like an accomplishment. Thanks and you got it lol
  8. 10 years down...

    I don't do any electrical work, so our paths don't really align too often. I've done survey work for Wakefield, which is a YESCO company, but that's about it. Thank you! The desks were for a large bank and they were spread out between a few buildings. The largest was 53 stories and had...

    ProSignTN hows that?
  10. 10 years down...

    Thanks! I make it in Google Maps. If you can't figure it out, let me know and I'll give a more detailed breakdown.
  11. 10 years down...

    Thanks! Yeah, tons of growth up that way that keeps me buried. I did all of the out of state ones but had helpers come on a couple of them (ie: when there are 6,000 signs in a single building).
  12. 10 years down...

    Thank you, sir. Congrats to you, as well! Yeah, 2020 didn't work out too well for parties. I'd rather be the sign mogul of McCall. :smile: Thank you! Thanks! I'm always watching DeWalt, no matter what lol. As far as improvements, things are going pretty well. I don't think there are...

    I posted five years ago about my five-years-in-business anniversary. I'm not going to post every five years....but 10 is a big one, so yeah, I'm posting. :) When I started the business in 2011, my intent was to provide surveys, transport, and installation services for other sign companies. I...
  14. Letters mounted on top of canopy

    If the mounting plate is going to be welded down, my concern would be if anything ever was damaged and needed to be replaced. The 'normal' method of mounting the letters would be to drill through the mounting plate, countersink the holes on the bottom of the plate and basically bolt the letters...
  15. Scissor lift on slope

    That's a YouTube fail video waiting to happen. I'd say sorry, but you got the wrong equipment. Tell them you need an aerial lift or bucket truck.
  16. Suggestions Don't want to mess up the furniture

    If it's a nice place, I dress nicer. My customers (the sign company I'm installing for) appreciate it and the end customers (where I'm installing) appreciate it. So, not being sarcastic here, but maybe don't wear "dusty work boots". I have never covered a counter I have to stand on, for the very...
  17. Post holes with a drill...

    It works especially well in cases where you don't have to use concrete. A helper and I set 8 posts yesterday and it took about 5 minutes per sign to lay the tarp out, auger the hole, set the post in, tip the dirt back in/around the post, tamp it down and screw the face on.
  18. Post holes with a drill...

    Adding this to the thread in case it helps anyone. Augers tend to throw the dirt pretty far which typically results in a bunch of time spent on clean up if you're in any kind of 'finished' area. My solution to this is a heavy duty tarp with a square cut out of the center (I 'sealed' the cut...
  19. Advice

    I agree with the comment above. There shouldn't be wrinkles in this, especially since it's Control Tac. It definitely points to error in technique, which means you'll have the same issues again if replacing. I would see if they would agree to patching the sections with wrinkles.

    Control Tac?
