  1. Best Marker For Writing On Laminate?

    Just a 3ml laminate for decals that are used on construction helmuts for a short term... They need to put info on them on site. I don't really think it is an issue as I find only when you rub hard the oils in your fingers can cause the ink to spread or ghost... I offered the client clear strips...
  2. Work Method...

    I'm a righty so right to left on a downward angle. I find on different days, be it, humidity, temperature or whatever that vinyl can act differently, even off the same roll. Most of the times I can weed effortlessly and then there are times when every letter gives me cause for quitting this...
  3. Best Marker For Writing On Laminate?

    Tested Sharpies and after 2 or 3 hours I can still get them to smudge.... I don't know if there is anything that can be used...any one have experience with this?
  4. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    Well this 60 x 120 item on Grimco's website, says the flutes run along the 60" side, but when i call they don't think so. I am waiting for someone to go in the warehouse and find out.... as to using plexi or any plastic...the piece needs to bend 90 degrees on the corners and the coro sample I...
  5. Remove Double Sided Tape

    steamer!!! I had to remove a pile of foam double sided tape on a display we had screwed up and the steamer made it so easy.
  6. Production Ready Artwork?! General Recommendations?

    it's probably best to build it into the cost of whatever you are doing, then you don't even have to have any conversation
  7. Rapid Tac

    ...just curious...that 1 part alcohol is basically a solvent which breaks down the adhesive....would that not be of concern over the long term life of the vinyl? I know rapid tac has alcohol in it but I don't think really that much....
  8. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    Called Grimco again and was told that they do not carry anything with flutes going the 60 either. You sure it was Grimco?
  9. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    That is weird because they were the first people I called looking for the product. I will call again. thank you
  10. Production Ready Artwork?! General Recommendations?

    What I would like to know is how do you explain in understandable terms why the logo looks good on the computer screen, but really is the size of a postage stamp.... how does the screen make it look so high res and our printers can't? I always feel like they think I am lying to them to try...
  11. Rapid Tac

    I used it many years ago when it first came out but then thought...why am I paying for something can make for almost nothing.... I then got to the point where I apply just about everything dry unless they are fairly large and layered. I actually went back to rapid tac when I was doing a...
  12. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    I was asked by someone who is going to resell it to their client, so they simply want the corrugated replaced. I can tell they don't want to spend much on this as a stand like that is cheap as hell to begin with.
  13. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    I am only trying to replicate what was done. the client brought in the piece and I think the reason corrugated was used was to support the table it goes with as a small display used for golf tournaments and such. After trying to source the product I called the customer and told her that...
  14. Transfer Tape Not Sticking

    For years I used medium tack and then started seeing the same issue where most was ok but some areas would remain on the backing paper and then get mangled. I switched to high tack about 2 years ago and have found that on the odd occasion it may happen and I blame it on poor adhesive in certain...
  15. Why Do Banners Get Reffered By Oz Vs Mil?

    I thought it was a simple enough question...but you guys have all gone mental:D
  16. Who Sells Corrogated With The Flutes Going Along The 48"?

    I ask this as a customer brought me in the front panel for a display table. It was made of corrugated plastic and then bent to fit around the unit. i thought...yes this is a piece of cake...then realized that the corrogated needed to be vertical to be able to bend. the piece is 80" x 35.5". I...
  17. Why Do Banners Get Reffered By Oz Vs Mil?

    ...so when a supplier sells me retractable banner material and says that it is 10 oz that is fine, but when they say it is 9mil I have no idea what that means as far as ounces. The reason I ask is that certain banner stands work better with a lighter weight material
  18. Why Do Banners Get Reffered By Oz Vs Mil?

    I find this strange that when researching retractable banner material that they are described by weight or by thickness...Is there a corelation between the 2? How do you convert mil(s) to Ounces? or are they 2 completely different references.
  19. What Do You Do With Your Vinyl Cut Offs, Scraps.

    I use some of it for removing dog fur around the house and especially in the car. For the most part it all goes in the garbage. For big digital screwups I save it until my garbage is full and then super stack the bin with everything that I hate throwing out...it almost feels painless
