  1. Peeling vinyl...

    I have a customer that is having issues with interior vinyl wall graphics being picked at by little kids. They pick at the seams and once it gets started, everyone keeps picking at it. I'm wide open to any ideas to remedy this. One of the possibilities being considered is printing directly...
  2. Finally got my garage straightened up...

    The Bentley and BMW are both armored. The bags of money are deposited to my account. :) Kidding...pretty awesome place though. They had a H1 hummer they were working on when I was there.
  3. Replacing pan faces...?

    A pan face is normally used in a sign cabinet for a reason - typically because the use of a flat face will cause the lamps to be too close to the face. So unless someone used a formed face strictly for aesthetics and there's actually enough distance from the lamps to use a flat face, you likely...
  4. Finally got my garage straightened up...

    No, lol...it was an install I did today at an armored vehicle company. Pretty cool place.
  5. Finally got my garage straightened up...

    Took forever to get the floors swept and mopped. Stinkin' Bentley is always right in the way...
  6. This Summer's Mural Project.

    That's awesome - nice work!
  7. Overall Height 13' 6''!!

    Typically, the wider and/or higher the bar is, the larger the pipe is. Aesthetically it just looks better. This is where superimposition comes into play. Take a photo of the location the clearance bar will be. Superimpose various dimensions of the clearance bar scaled to size. Normal clearance...
  8. Any Wordpress Nextgen guru's...?

    Thank you - I'll try the thumbnail resize plugin. In the event anyone else runs into this, this is what was posted on the support forum...it eliminated the black border and stacked effect: Goto Gallery->Style, do a find for : background:transparent url(albumset.gif) no-repeat scroll 0%...
  9. Glue for direct mount to wall

    You linked to their index page which has a ton of signs on it. I'm guessing you're referring to the Jet Cooper sign. If so - the sign isn't just "glued" to the wall. Those spacers are most likely drilled and tapped for studs which are then mounted into the wall. Since it looks as though they're...
  10. Simple semi dimensional sign

    Well done - very clean looking.
  11. Any Wordpress Nextgen guru's...?

    On this page and this page, the thumbnails each have a black border and then a 'stacked' effect. Does anyone know how to eliminate those items? I would also like the thumbnails on those pages to be a bit larger. I'm going to post on the support forum, but thought I'd try here as well...
  12. Huh?

    Maybe he was just a really picky person. Might have just lost a good member.
  13. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    Use stainless steel bolts. The way the bottom piece is twisted, I would imagine that's fabricated and decorative rather than a support feature. The existing cabinet is likely bolted and/or welded to the supports and how the new cabinet will need to be installed as well.
  14. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    Center frame? Do you have a Sign Electrician's license?
  15. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    You through-bolt a pair of steel match-plates to the aluminum frame. You weld the other pair of match-plates to the supports. You then bolt the match-plates together. Similar to this: click
  16. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    The materials you use will have to meet your local engineering requirements, so that has to be taken into consideration. I would use 2" aluminum angle for the framing, then through-bolt one set of match-plates onto the sign cabinet and weld the other set onto the existing supports...
  17. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    Details, man! What size cabinet, what shape, how high up is it being installed, is it being installed on a pole or on a wall, how close to the coast is it being installed....? There's no need for the extra time and expense of powder coating.
  18. tips on painting cold rolled steel

    Agreed. Matthews is great but SW is as well and costs less.
  19. Drilling Stone

    Yeah...17 pounds is a bit much lol My cordless is around 6 pounds and drills 1/2" holes with ease. I love that little thing.
  20. Drilling Stone

    Kind of small for 3/16" holes...:Big Laugh
