  1. Optically Clear Laminate for Window Perf?

    As someone else pointed out, 8518 is a no go. Curvalam works good.
  2. Optically Clear Laminate for Window Perf?

    We use the clear mostly on vehicles. Store fronts, not so much. On vehicles, it lets you see out when its raining. If not then the holes fill up and you can't see out at all.
  3. Screws in Enamel Paint Can Lids

    I have been doing the screw in the lid of my lettering enamels for over 15 years. I rarely get a skin and use all the paint. I use a 1/2'' long self tapping screw with a washer tacked on the top. When i'm done with a can of paint the screw goes into the new can. The picture shows a few of my...

    We have used Clear shield on outdoor banners. Some have been up 7 years with good results.

    Hello, from Newport News.
  6. Warped/Bending GatorFoam

    So it wasn't Gatorfoam brand? What is Gatorboard? Is it the same as Gatorfoam? We use a lot of Gatorfoam here and sometimes foam core for short term use.
  7. So, this guys name is Clint.

    Saw this ship not too long ago and had to do a double take.
  8. Warped/Bending GatorFoam

    What thickness Gatorfoam did you use?
  9. Silicone Failure, please make suggestions on what you use

    I have always used RTV 6708 on plastics like pads. Never had a failure, but it's about $23 a tube. Cures pretty fast too.
  10. On the way home last night................................

    It's not too common to see them here. We are 2 blocks from the city center area. But there was woods around the Jefferson Laboratory up until recently. Must have scared them out. This area had a bad Feral cat problem here a few years ago. I would come to the shop on a weekend and they would be...
  11. On the way home last night................................

    I spoted one of these guys the other day running by neighbors shop, I've seen 3 since then. They are currently ripping wooded sections out nearby for Lidl store, near the Jefferson Labs.
  12. Need some insite on sandblasting wood

    I agree with Gino on the steel frame. My experience is that steel frames cause more damage in the long run. I think it's probably due to the different rates of expansion.
  13. Font help please...

    This was the pic. that the awning guy sent me. I think maybe it is painted on. They just wanted it to match that lettering again. I rarely use anything like that and didn't have anything close to those D's. Maybe I will show them what I have and hope they go for it.
  14. need supplier of cedar for sandblasting

    I have used All Wood sign blanks before in a pinch. They are ok, mostly made up of 3'' strips but it is vertical grain. Doesn't quite have the feel of a 2 x 12 built sign. Harbor sales stocks some of their supply for east coast shipping. Even if their site says not in stock I would still call them.
  15. Font help please...

    Can anyone tell me what this font is please?
  16. Applying vinyl to uncured paint

    We do several museums in our local area. Many years before we started doing them they ran into vinyl falling off the walls. I got my foot in the door after making some sidewalk signs for one. After seeing the vinyl falling off walls, it was all applied to flat paint. Most museums like the flat...
  17. EstiMate: Wide Format Injet vs. Vinyl & Painted Signs

    Yes, check your settings. Your line one seems about right for cut vinyl without knowing coverage and type vinyl being used. Print price not so much.
  18. Solid color banner

    Trim USA rep stopped by today. They 100 percent still cut, sew, grommet colored banners to size. Give them a call, good people.
  19. Un-Mothballing a Designjet 8000s

    Yikes. I can tell you from experience that sitting a couple months is bad, unless it was shut down properly. I know a guy that let one sit a few weeks unplugged and it was a pain. It did come back after a lot of wasted ink run through it doing maintenance. There is prob. a better way to flush...
  20. Solid color banner

    Try Trim USA. That's where we used to buy blank banners in different colors.
