  1. Question U-post install

    Math not your strong suit? An extra hour and a half at $120/hr is $180. We charge down to the quarter hour. Just like time clocks at the burger joint or factory.
  2. grommet press not holding grommets

    Yeah, o-ring. Not a magnet. Wouldn't work on brass grommets anyway.

  4. Question U-post install

    We quote it as the estimated time plus any extra. So if it goes beyond the estimated time they get charged extra. I state it like this: Installation is estimated at $120. If it goes beyond 1 hour, it will be charged at an additional $120/hr.
  5. Question U-post install

    We give an estimate on time for jobs like this, but charge actual time after the fact.
  6. Need Help 2020 General 4 door template??

    The place I buy them from has it. I haven't bought it, but even if I had, the license agreement precludes sharing it.
  7. Formed Lettering but the customer wants it glued instead of drilled

    We've done Gemini plastic letters pad mounted on corrugated metal buildings with just GE 100% silicone. over 20 years later, they are still up. Seems like on brick it might hold even better as the brick has irregularities that would hold the silicone even better.
  8. Question U-post install

    We just put up about 30 of these, some with square poles and just the no hunting, some u-channel with just the no hunting. The ground was undisturbed in some places, excavated like here, or fill where they had built up the roadbed. Obviously we hit rock (it is the Ozarks) in some places and had...
  9. Quickest way to smooth out Jagged vector in Corel 2020?

    I never played with those tools. Attract and repel can do what you are trying to do as well. There are some tools in there that could be used to create the "brushed look" on objects also.
  10. Need cayman gt4 vector

    My vendor has a Cayman, but doesn't designate any submodels.
  11. We are adding subcontractors

    That would be true everywhere. To your customer, the sub IS you. So if the sub screws something up, you are responsible for making it right with the customer. Getting your sub to pay for it or whatever is your problem, not the customer's.
  12. We are adding subcontractors

    I think it really depends on what kind of subcontractor you are talking about. Some of them, you will be buying a product from, which you have designed. That would be the service providers who make decals, banners, signs, and the like, such as some of the vendors here or signs365. They usually...
  13. Does anyone here know where to get LOW tack application tape?

    Maybe your idea of a paintmask is different from mine, but we don't have any trouble at all with the application tape we use on paintmask--and we typically use the same high tack appliucation that we use for sign vinyl.
  14. Does anyone here know where to get LOW tack application tape?

    Pretty much every application tape manufacturer has a low, medium, and high tack. You just have to ask for the one you want when you buy it. It's not rocket science, no secret products.
  15. Life Size Cut Outs "Standees" Base

    We cut them by hand with just a knife. It's easy to cut the locking tab into it. Just look at the cardboard ones you can buy at Staples.
  16. Does anyone here know where to get LOW tack application tape?

    Grimco, Fellers, N. Glantz, pretty much all major sign supply companies carry low tack application tape.
  17. Suggestions Green reflective, White text

    around here they just steal the whole sign to hang in their dorm room
  18. Suggestions Green reflective, White text

    We use Avery 1100, but the 3M 5100R would be the same. There is no need for an overlaminate when you use the cut vinyl; it's only necessary when you print to protect the ink. I've never lettered on the specific product you are talking about, since the blanks we use have EGP reflective. Cuttable...
  19. Suggestions Green reflective, White text

    They don't sell the approved stuff as being cuttable. It would depend on the governing authority whether you can use cut vinyl lettering on the sign. We commonly use it for street signs on green or blue reflective blanks, but that is governed by the city, not the state. If it's for the national...
