  1. I have Retired

    That's cool! Thank you! I retired in 2016, and here we are... Here's to hoping yours lasts longer:toasting:
  2. Question about painting over Aluminum siding..

    Alphabetically, or at random?
  3. Question about painting over Aluminum siding..

    And musicians.... That's why I gotta do this too :cool:
  4. Vinyl for steel tanker for asphalt

    I do a lot of equipment for an asphalt sealing company, they have the hot tanks for crack seal [insert yer' puns here]. I use 751 on all of theirs and haven't had any failures yet. 99% of it is just black vinyl, so I don't know if bright colors will have issues, but in our part of the country...
  5. Looking for LED indirect light fixture

    They're called wall wash light bars, google it and you'll come up with hundreds of them. Finding the exact ones... Probably not if they're not labeled. Here's one place that has a good variety to get you started https://www.superlightingled.com/led-wall-wash-lighting-c-86_308.html Here's another...
  6. Question about painting over Aluminum siding..

    Exactly! Best for everyone... Her art on something that's right for the situation. I grew up in body shops, and know this is way beyond a "typical" paint job.
  7. Question about painting over Aluminum siding..

    Finishing those panels is a lot like doing automotive painting. The area you plan to paint will need to be sanded for it to stick, architectural coatings are baked on, very tough, formulated to repel dirt, and not real receptive to paints. You'll need to apply a primer (solvent based metal...
  8. Generic vs Genuine Roland Parts

    I used aftermarket encoder strips on an SC540 I used to run... They worked.
  9. Printer/Cutter vs. Stand-alone Cutter

    Depends on workflow & space. If you only have the room for one, or don't do such a volume that you need to both print and cut at the same time, there's nothing wrong with using a single print/ cut machine. The one thing I have learned over the years are the better stand alone cutters are way...
  10. Question about painting over Aluminum siding..

    Not to be "that guy", but... One thing everyone will probably want to know before making any recommendations on painting. Does the gym own, or rent/ lease the space? If it's rented/ leased I'd start by checking with the owner or property manager to see if they'll even allow it to be painted...
  11. Artificial Intelligence Art Generation

    It's been like that for quite a while, and worse every day. I won't subject myself to all the BS of going to shows either, and that's part of why my drums are collecting dust... Don't even have the desire to go back out performing live anymore, just not worth all the effort to play for people...
  12. Artificial Intelligence Art Generation

    I see stuff like that posted every day and question where the world is heading... Picked up a grand daughter from high school one day when her car was in the shop, most kids were shuffling out like zombies, either staring at phones or just blank faced like they were lost. Makes me kind of glad...
  13. Solvent and Eco-Sol Spray On Coating

  14. Artificial Intelligence Art Generation

    that's funny... Parroting basic and general information you'll find posted all over the web, in forums like this, manufacturers support pages, and... the user manual. A digital xerox machine feeding copies of what's already known. All stuff you can look up yourself, but gee, this way seems so...
  15. Artificial Intelligence Art Generation

    I started this stuff in the 60's painting and hand lettering trucks. When I think back to those days, and look at what I'm doing digitally today it makes my brain hurt... The advancements in technology is insane.
  16. Artificial Intelligence Art Generation

    I have no desire to let AI do my work for me, heck, I don't even use image tracing. I love what I do... If I was tempted to use it commercially, I'd be concerned about how the upcoming litigation could change everything we think is right or wrong to do with it right now. Imagine doing a large...
  17. A new level of creepy

    So... If you're a raging heterosexual male with lesbian tendencies, does that make you a bi with today's standards? It's tough being old and confused :p
  18. Gaps in nozzle test

    Here's a pretty good one
  19. A new level of creepy

    It does get pretty creepy. Do what I do, have fun with it... It's all done by bots anyway, who can't call BS on you. Hit the gear icon and hit the "hide ad", when it asks for the reason to not see it, check "irrelevant" or "offensive". I do that on everything I can that hits close to home to...
  20. Who uses Linux for work (print, signs etc)

    Linux has it's strong points, it's great for hosting/ serving data, it's open source makes it great for creating custom programs and apps... But you won't find too many in the sign industry using it for daily workflow. The lack of existing software and device plugin support needed makes it...
