  1. Are TrueVIS Rolands really THAT bad?

    Can't spec models but one of my neighbor shops that does a ton of printing just got their 3rd roland. He is corporate wrap king around here. I don't think he would have bought a third if he wasn't happy with the other 2. I had a seiko for 10 years and rode that sucker into the dirt. It was a...
  2. "No show bolt" install of aluminum panel

    90 and some adhesive to back. I have done exactly that with Lords adhesive with beads in it for a uniform grab. Stuff was dang near hurricane proof.
  3. Removal of dimensional letters

    If they are on studs you will be doing wall repair before you can damage it with new studs.
  4. What's proper etiquette if a prospect sends you a competitor's proof for pricing?

    So the original question was what do you do if someone hands you a competitors proof for bid. Myself, I hand it back and tell them I am never the cheapest and I don't copy other people's work. If all you are doing is shopping a cheaper price I am definitely not your sign guy. They do from time...
  5. Veloster Windshield Curve (Bottom)

    Straight line from edge to edge. Measure bow from line. Bend in software to match bow.
  6. Vehicle Paint Oxidation - Please Help

    Eagle One car wash is great for getting oxidation. Did a trailer last month that looked a thousand years old. You would have thought a milk truck exploded when we rinsed it. Then buff it to death. I have a body shop next door to me and if that doesn't do it a slight wet sand will. Been known to...
  7. Suggestions acrylic bending (heater)

    Had this one many years, think I paid around 400 for it. Simple but useful tool. Don't use it often but nice to have it when I do.

  11. Polycarbonate sign face broken??

    I just replaced a sign face that broke while being removed for bulb replacement. It had a crack in it for some time and as soon as it budged it snapped. Luckily I had just finished telling the customer that it was already cracked and stood a good chance of breaking no matter how gentle I tried...
  12. Weekends

    Been working my but off for a while now building a distillery. Now that it is open and we have product on the shelf my weekend time is about gone. I make sure I have Sunday off but if I haven't taken a stab at the yard here and there during the week it kills the day. Doing my in laws yard now...
  13. Old school sign painting advise

    Agree with Gino, not brick. Looks like a decorative finish. If you end up not painting and going with a panel I would still put my anchors in grout lines so in the future if the sign ever comes down and wall repainted it will be an easy patch and paint. If you paint I would definitely follow...

    Crooked D
  15. It's Crooked

    "It's crooked" You should see my *%#+
  16. What tools should be on my bucket list?

    Not a carver by any means but I keep telling myself I might by a nice starter set just to play with. Lay out a pattern on plotter, pounce and wail away, lol. I love woodworking. Kudos to the op for wanting to get into craft and then maybe volume. Great way to start.
  17. Music...

    I have a tv in my office and still room. The still room has a small pa hooked up from my former rock star lifestyle, lol. Music any more is just background but when I am spending long stretches in still room I either put on a movie or plug in my ipod which has everything my kids and I have...
