I have a client that just asked what kind of paint I recommend to use for a temporary use on glass. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm not sure if he's intending to just use it as block out or if he's actually painting a message. I'm not a handpainter, so I won't be doing it either way.

We just got this year's USSC SignWorld show packet in the mail and I see that Joe is teaching. So who's going?

I subscribe to Inc. magazine and the most recent issue features their list of the top 500 fastest growing companies. The list includes their gross sales and number of employees. It's interesting to see how different businesses/industries compare on sales per employee basis. It made me wonder...

Is anyone currently using it or used it in the past? Likes/dislikes/suggestions?

Many of us on Signs101 already know about Jon Aston and know that anything he posts is going to be valuable to our business. But for those of you who don't know, search for any of his posts and you'll see what I mean. If you're on FaceBook, "Like" his company at...

A few months ago, I posted a thread about potentially installing solar panels on our roof (http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60122). We ended up doing the project and turned it on about 3 weeks ago. (Pics attached) I just wanted to give an update if anyone else is interested in...

About a year ago, I noticed that our Edge 2 fan wasn't running about the same time that another Signs101 member had the same thing happen and started a thread about it(here http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53650) To quickly summarize - his problem was that the fan on his Edge 1...

I'm looking for the font for Townsend Oliver. Any ideas?

I don't think anyone will be able to catch these guys! One guy's last post was 1969!

We outsource printing for a few of our customers. We have accounts to purchase from National Imprint, BCT, 4over, etc but I can't find anyone who has these (see pic). They are Direct Deposit forms/mailers that get mailed to employees. The one on the left is before it's separated and the right...

We sold our CNC last month but didn't let our software go with it and I'm thinking of selling it. It looks like it retails for $6,495. I can't find any comps on any of the sites that have classifieds. What do you guys think it's worth?

I need a new saw blade for our Safety Speed Cut panel saw. Last time I needed one, I just ordered it from Safety Speed Cut but I was just wondering what else might work because they are pretty spendy($150+). We cut PVC, acrylic, MDO and the occasional sheet of Dibond or Alumalite with ours...

A couple of years ago, I made some stripes for a 69 Camaro. I traced exactly what was on the car, scanned it in pieces, reassembled the scanned images in Corel and then redrew them. I cut the vinyl on some scrap material, test fit, made slight adjustments for where it was off and repeated...

We'll be moving to a new location soon and I want to send out a well designed email to let my clients know. I researched two companies that provided email marketing services - Constant Contact and AWeber.com Does anyone here have experience with either of these companies or have another...

I'm researching solar PV systems with the thought of installing one at our new shop. Does anyone here have one? Anything you can share? Like/dislike? Install it yourself or purchase turnkey? How's the ROI looking? Are you selling SREC's? Any info is appreciated.

I don't think the Aveo will be making it out before the new year.

We have a vacuum hold down with LDF for the spoil board. It started out at 3/4" but is down to about half that now. How thin do you let yours get before you replace it?

We're doing several double sided signs that will be mounted between 4"x4" wood posts that will be covered with PVC sleeves. We would typically use Sooper brackets for this but I'm looking for something less "intrusive". See the attached image of what the brackets will look like on our sign and...

For those that regularly update their Facebook (or website) with photos of recently completed work, are you ever concerned with competitors keeping tabs on who your clients are and potentially poaching them? Has anyone had a verifiable and real life experience of this happening? If so, has...
