Should be out of office. Second in command wouldn’t be any better but may put together a complete thought… And you know Putin and Xi Jingpin are watching this dementia breakdown that’s why they’ve been making moves on Ukraine and Taiwan

I always lettered with 1-shot back in the day but since the EPA took out the lead and chemicals they’re probably all the same now. They don’t last long and chalk up after a few years in the sun.

Thermal transfer printer for sure, Summa or Gerber setup.

Edge NYC, Pretty cool place to check out. That outer bracket on the tip caught my eye, only one.

Yes you do need A Cast vinyl and laminate, not crap film. Take it to your local body shop and have them paint it.

Who cares about them?? Sell high end laminated decals for signs, truck lettering, wrap and make $$$

. Lettered a brand new 4 door $65 thousand, 2022 Toyota Tundra today. Beautiful truck, The Front doors were Aluminum, back door were steel? bed sides were aluminum or fiberglass, tailgate gate was steel, fenders aluminum or fiberglass, hood aluminum or fiberglass. Never seen this...

Use cast translucent film. And polycarbonate not plexiglass. If the customer want to save a couple bucks Tell him to …. Make scrambled eggs next Friday night instead of the nice family night out at a restaurant. He’ll break even cost wise, and have a long term proper sign face.

Could be a fox, but they tend to do more short screams. Loud too.

I’ve lettered a few small planes and helicopters. Some with 3M cast vinyl and some with 1 shot paint. Vinyl can be a bitch because they are riveted to hell… not like a box truck Lol.

Rivets or torx screws?

Out, I use RLA all the time and it will still tent with contour cut lettering.

I hate Avery because they screwed everyone years back. Long story and worth looking up if new to the trade… Yes , The smell is horrible. Idk what they changed but I avoid it unless I need a certain color.

. 118 blanks, Looks like a lot of cleaning and shit everywhere. I wouldn't mind a few or even a dozen but that crap is going to be everywhere in your shop. Reach out to your rep and tell them your not happy, I would... Anytime I get aluminum blanks it has a thin pink protective layer that...

Check with your local Janitorial Supply house. Couldn't find it anywhere when Covid came around but they had it. I buy it in a 5 Gallon container 99.9 % Medical Grade for about $80-90

Damn, That’s a lot of work. Hats off to him for loving metal shop but I’d rather buy one that engineered correctly. I have no use for either but if a blade tooth chipped off and got stuck in someone’s eye your f- d and can’t blame it on manufacturing defect.

Fellers mostly, If your paying catalog pricing your overpaying by quit a bit. Especially for vinyl, need to talk with your rep and get custom pricing.

I use Cast / High Performance laminate film on everything. Not worth the time or frustration to swap it out… It only 4 .5 ft.

Not on a new van. Always Cast, I prefer 3M 7125. If the van is an old beater with 80’k on it. Intermediate film is fine. Like 651

No eye protection or gloves, must be safe and ECO friendly...
