How are you installing the sign - is there some sort of framing behind the ACM to keep it rigid? What is the breakdown between the cost of the sign and the cost of the installation?

We have been asked to quote installing stainless steel fabricated letters on a stone monument that will have cascading water falling behind the offset letters. The letters are 18" upper and lower case, 1" thick. There will be stainless steel studs connecting the letters to the stone wall with a...

V carving wood with a CNC router will result in a lot of splintering unless you use the right kind of wood. We have found Poplar is good and not super expensive in our area. Our method for this type of sign would be to sand wood as smooth as possible (with the grain), stain, seal, mask with...

Thanks!!! You just saved me a chunk of time searching through fonts...

Thanks. I have seen it before but already been looking through most of my font...

I've been using EstiMate since the beginning of time. It connects with QuickBooks and is very easy to use. I never did the subscription, still have the CD. It is great for creating and emailing simple quotes, storing substrate and materials costs, creating packing lists, writing terms for...

There is an online sign retailer that makes custom metal signs with a 10 year guarantee. They use a 3M anti-graffiti clear laminate. Looking for more information on exactly what product this laminate is and where to get it? I want to make some street signs for a small residential community and...

I also vote for the Ronan Aqua leaf - water based metallic gold. I usually undercoat with a gold color latex paint so that I can get a better coverage with the Aqua leaf that way, usually one or two top coats is sufficient.

Looking for recommendations for outsourcing "museum grade" high quality digitally printed signs - acrylic on standoff hardware for interior wall. Need about 10 signs, various sizes - 14 x14" to 30" x 60", roughly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Read the lease carefully. Do you have to personally guarantee the lease or is it in your business name? Also, who pays for repairs to the unit - plumbing, HVAC, etc.? Some of the leases around here want the tenant to pay for everything - if the AC unit goes out, the tenant buys a new one. With a...

How about Signs 365 for wall wraps? They have a low tack wall material and also Control Tac. I've used them for printing vinyl many times.

I have not seen any evidence of yellowing on exterior signs. However we usually spray the background with a semi gloss white if it is a permanent sign because the PVC can get dirty, especially on the edges, if it is not cleaned regularly. But we have had a fair amount of unpainted white signs...

We use PVC by Vycom. We get it from Tubelite in Florida. It's a bit more cost than other PVC brands but it routs better - less "fuzz" on the routed edges.

I bought a Dell laptop off of Amazon a couple of years ago. When I got the laptop I checked the system specs. I had ordered 16 gig ram with 512 hard drive (not my main computer). What I got was 8 gig ram and 256 hd. Called Amazon and they said I had to notify the third party seller about the...

Is there a company that can create a custom "word Cloud" with wording that I submit. Similar to this?

Do you mind telling us who is your wholesaler that can do this? If you do use a wholesaler, that is. Thanks

If you can become certified as 8A it will go a long way in giving you an edge over the competition. The SBA has a lot of free training programs that can help you decide if you want to go ahead and pursue government contracting. It can be very lucrative, but there is quite a learning curve to...

Yes, we charge a fee if someone wants us to come out to their site to do a survey or determine their sign needs. Consider all the implications of putting an employee (or yourself) on the road, which includes labor cost, vehicle expense, gasoline cost, insurance cost, liability...why would you do...

Thanks for all the replies. I Googled the company that processes the payments and they look legit. I also like the idea of having a separate bank account for these types of transactions. If something does go wrong I will keep a minimum amount of money in this account so I won't take a big loss...

My new, probably one-time, customer wants me to get set up in their payment system so they can deposit payments directly into my bank account (ACH). In order to do this I have to register and set up an account with their system. I have to give them my bank info - routing number and bank account...
