    All reflective vinyls advise against wet application. If the damage did not occur from shipping/handling, and was from application, it happens from bending the vinyl back too hard while peeling off the liner, or from trying to lift the vinyl and reapplying it.
  2. Wrong substrate used, any way to salvage?

    How are the signs "blowing down"? Fasteners pulling through the sign? Bracket falling off wall?

  4. How do you hire?

    I currently pay myself less than $15/hr (by far). Granted, my wife also works (at a wage commensurate to our area's wages, which is also less than $15/hr), but where we live we have a nice townhouse which is all paid for, we drive late model car and truck, we lack for nothing. Do we live large...
  5. How do you hire?

    If all that is true, how have I managed to live for the last 30 years on far less, while still buying a house, having vehicles to drive, etc.?
  6. How do you hire?

    Charging exorbitant college tuition rates for someone who will end up employed in a sign shop is the problem. Sign shops were not built on college graduates. And the pricing structure was not predicated on paying new hires $40,000 a year. Like much of the working world, things have been upended...
  7. Photo Shop file...anyone able to open this?

    I am pretty sure I bought them from 123rf.com
  8. Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

    Cross-thread satire based on Chinese bot threads is hard to pull off.
  9. Latest version of Onyx RIP & Print using Corel X5 with windows 7

    I don't see where the version of Corel Draw will make any difference. You're going to be exporting eps or pdf files to import to Onyx, and the version of Corel Draw won't really matter with that.
  10. Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

    On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know where I can get a ton of aluminum sheet and how much it might cost?
  11. Photo Shop file...anyone able to open this?

    That's actually two cliparts put together. I have used the foot one on a boat name and the lighthouse wave one on another job.

  13. Need Help Need 14 blank Plastic/Acrylic Office Door Blank

    Did you not see through the anger to note that I suggested Interstate Plastics? They make custom cut plastic blanks. They're on the internet. Another source for plexiglas is a local glass company. And they will cut to size for you as well. The only tools you'd need to cut these blanks yourself...
  14. Need Help Need 14 blank Plastic/Acrylic Office Door Blank

    Have you called Grimco? They have a custom order department and you can ask for a quote. Might be time to buy some tools. If these are just thin signs to go next to doors, you can cut them with hand tools, and finish the edges with a sanding block. Acrylic is harder to cut than expanded PVC...
  15. Substance G25

    This is how we use the stuff
  16. Substance G25

    We've used Convex's version of the same product. Although we have no trouble cutting the regular 15 mil Substance laminate, not only is the textured stuff really thick, it's harder too. Probably a flatbed with a special blade is going to be the only way to go with it.
  17. Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

    I was wondering why anyone would want aluminum business cards. Have you found a customer who wants them?
  18. Color code: red 23 & blue 94 ?

    I don't think it would be out of order to call the customer and ask them what color standard they are using for those names.
  19. Some things won't combine in Corel

    The objects do combine. You just can't see holes on the inner loops because of loop direction.
  20. Question U-post install

    So if I make minimum wage at $15/hr and I work 6.5 or 6.75 hours, how much will I get paid?
