  1. stickers for gas pumps

    Not sure what you are asking. You'd just make them. Unless you had an order for 1000 of them and didn't want to tie up the shop with them. Then you'd order them from a wholesaler.
  2. 30 second radio ad?

    Don't worry. You won't get any business from a radio ad. TV either.
  3. Creating Layers in Corel

    That's the key to when layers are actually useful. Locking and hiding. I almost never use layers in Corel, but there are a few instances where it's useful. If you are using vehicle templates for wrap designing, the ones which have everything in layers with a gray mask layer are great. All the...
  4. Question Pricing wallcovering

    I certainly understand how painting it would give a better result. But there is nobody in our area who does that. At any rate, I told him it would be $13,500 and he decided not to do anything because it's too much. Not really sure why he wasn't anticipating the price. He runs offshore racing...
  5. Question Pricing wallcovering

    So if I go back to the same price I charged 15 years ago, $8/sq ft, I would be at $13,344. There are no freelance installers here for vinyl. It means leaving the shop and stopping all other work for 4-5 days, plus the 2-3 days it will take on the printer. After checking around, it appears...
  6. Question Pricing wallcovering

    I am trying to do pricing on a wallcovering job. It will be a dividing wall in a shop building. The wall is painted sheetrock, flat except for lightswitches and such. There are two 12x12 garage door openings in it (which don't have to be covered). The wall is 90' long. At the ends it's 16' tall...
  7. Printing on back of decal

    Just say no. They can buy them from someone who sells it: https://www.websticker.com/blog/sticker-back-printing/ It will be cheaper than trying to figure it all out. Unless everyone at your business is sitting around with nothing to do, or if you are trying to develop a process that you will...
  8. boat license standard

    That is the W. It's nesting for maximum use of space on the vinyl. When people ask me to give them this font, I just use a better looking casual brush font and they are happy when I email a proof. If they insist and you do find the actual font, be sure to use uneven latter spacing and get them...
  9. Has anyone seen this before?

    India Pale Ale
  10. Removing cracked window graphics and reinstalling, (vendor provided the graphics)

    Did 28 windows at a resort hotel earlier this month without a scratch. I've seen people get plenty of scratches using standard 2" blades in the standard retractable holder because it lets the blade wobble and with a short blade it's too easy to dig a corner in. But if I had not been careful I am...
  11. Any Hope of Saving This Graphic?

    You cannot get the part that has lifted to stick back with anything. You can cut away the part that has lifted and it will slow the peel.
  12. Coreldraw 2021?

    I keep all the flyouts I use frequently anchored to the right side of the page. Much handier. But it you want to move it, just click and hold the tab of it and pull it off the edge of the page. Or to rearrange the tabs, click and drag up and down in the line and drop it where you want it.
  13. Removing cracked window graphics and reinstalling, (vendor provided the graphics)

    One of these will speed your removal. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Warner-Steel-Paint-Scraper-Common-4-in-Actual-4-in/3089517 Get the pack of replacement blades. You'll need them. You don't want to keep using a blade if it gets a nick or ding in it (you will scratch the window then). Wet the window...
  14. big squeegee DIY

    The PVC Big Squeegee they started out with was problematic. So if you try to imitate that one, it takes quite a bit of knack and luck to not have creases and wrinkles on a big sign. The new aluminum extrusion one with the long pole handles works, though it still takes a certain skill to not...
  15. Coreldraw 2021?

    You can click and drag the flyouts to any order you like
  16. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    I've never used an etch vinyl that was stiff enough to handle without application tape.
  17. Newbie Needing Help With Greys

    Actually not true. Orange is hardest.
  18. Suggestions Oh boy..........................

    I think I would offer to take the sign down and return her deposit.
  19. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    Highway Gothic or Blue Highway would be computer fonts that look like what I just call old-fashioned gothic letters. We never called them Egyptian letters around here that I know of, even though Brad is from 3 hours away. But he's in a city, we're out in the boonies.
  20. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    You didn't have application tape on it?
