I have been buying 13 oz vinyl banners from Signs365 and using them in the 33 x 78" Picasso retractable stands. I just got a call from my customer saying the stands are falling. I suspect it may be the heavier 15 oz vinyl - does that sound right? Is it the banner or the stand that is the...

I have an opportunity to bid on a sign that will include a small scrolling electronic message. I have not done any digital signage before. I am looking for tips and advice on finding the best products/warranty/service in my area of North Florida. Thanks!

We tried it a couple of times. Seems like it has a lot of potential. My question is whether the city will approve of it as a substitute for 2000 psi concrete on a larger installation. I believe the psi is 85 on the foam. Some of the monument signs require a lot of concrete in the foundation.

We use Estimate for simple jobs. We have also developed our own Excel sheets for more complicated jobs that require multiple amounts of information such as materials, labor items including layout times, CNC times, painting, etc. I'm trying to get as accurate as possible on my quoting and Excel...

I've been using Internet Explorer forever. Lately whenever I upload a file to Signs365 it fails to upload. They are saying I need to switch browsers. Any opinions on which browser to use - will I lose all my cookies if I switch browsers?

Sorry for your loss.

Dale, thanks for your reply about the pop up banner. We haven't decided what we are going to do yet.

Anyone using the Oz post anchors to install signs on 4x4 posts? They look like they may save digging time as long as you don't cut through a utility line in the process.

Has anyone tried out the Signs365 banner stand? The price looks very reasonable for the banner plus the stand. Do they assemble the banner in the stand prior to shipping?

We have a set of letters with Chemmetal brushed aluminum laminated to PVC that we installed in 2003. The letters are on a south facing wall, which is brutal exposure in the Florida sun. If you look closely you can see small pitted areas in the surface. Personally I would have replaced the...

I send all my stuff like that to the Vector Dr - he does fast work and very reasonable. I believe he is a merchant here.

The last time we refurbished a 15 year old wooden sign like that it busted in several places due to unforeseen rot. I would recommend making a new sign. Before I got too far into the project I would check the sign code. In my area replacement signs have to comply with updated codes, regardless...

Thanks for the info, printhog!

[For signage [/B][/U]- Look for a town with a solid commercial center and a sign shop to population ratio of 1:25,000 or better. Where do you find this data?

I've been very pleased with my Graphtec vinyl cutter. Been using it for about 20 years.

Thanks for your reply Gino. A weeks wages sounds generous to me.

What's typical for employee year end or Christmas bonuses? We have a small shop and am wondering what other employers do at this time of year. Also, I'm creating an employee handbook and am on the "paid time off" section - any advice on that too? Thanks.

Dee Signs?

Hmmm...that's what I was wondering too. I use a couple of sign suppliers on a regular basis and was wondering if one of them was the culprit. Judging by the responses to this posting in this forum it doesn't appear that this is a widespread problem (yet) with other sign companies.

Since January I've had my credit cards shut down 3 times. I only use these cards for business purchases. Fortunately the bank is able to spot a questionable charge and does not process it so I am out no money. But then I have to wait 2 - 5 biz days for a new card and then the bookkeeping hassles...
