  1. What paint for PVC?

    They would be stud mount whether they come from Gemini or the routed PVC. Right now, I'm leaning towards doing the Gemini letters because I'm not seeing that the price to the customer will be all that much less by the time I have to paint all the letters. I'm guessing the only way the PVC...

    So does Wensco (who sells Alphapanel) deliver to Opelika, Alabama for free?
  3. What paint for PVC?

    That has been my experience as well. This guy that is pushing it says he's been doing it all over the Des Moines area. I wanted to see if anyone else has been doing it. After all, they apparently can't even count and use their phones right up there in Iowa.
  4. What paint for PVC?

    I can certainly look at methods suggested by manufacturers, and sure there's youtube videos out there, but can I believe what I see in a Youtube video? As to the Sintra document you linked, there's nothing there I haven't seen before, and if I use any of the paints that are suggested in their...

    Just checked. The Grimco price on 4x10 is high because they no longer stock it in the regular white. Only the digitally printable white. They still have 4x8 regular white at ordinary prices. Don't know why they went to digitally printable only on the 4x10 and 5x10.
  6. What paint for PVC?

    They don't make outdoor durable 0.75" thick expanded PVC in colors. Just white and black.
  7. What paint for PVC?

    I know the value of Gemini. I've used their letters and have benefited from their lifetime warranty for decades. But I am exploring other possibilities. Fact is, many of the businesses I do signs for don't last for a lifetime.
  8. What paint for PVC?

    I have a job I was going to use Gemini acrylic letters on but my installer is trying to convince me to use routed 3/4" PVC letters. However I would then have to paint them (red for some, blue for others). I've never had much success painting expanded PVC. He recommends Behr Ultra house paint...

  11. Suggestions Awning repair

    I think this was covered in Matthew 9:16. "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse." (NIV) The old awning is toast. Repair is futile.
  12. Discussion Copyright Issues

    I was wondering how Homeland Security even has jurisdiction on this kind of stuff, but after some thought, I would bet that it has to do with the intellectual property theft issues coming from manufacturing in China. They probably gave Homeland jurisdiction so they could prosecute things from...
  13. Need Help Canvas Boxing Ring Graphics - What type of material?

    That group of pictures is from a website selling boxing ring decals, which claims they have a "specialty vinyl" http://www.mikestickers.com/commercial/Right-Hook-Promotions/index.htm However this website claims to use removable vinyl...
  14. Need Help Canvas Boxing Ring Graphics - What type of material?

    Regulation boxing rings use cotton canvas duck material. I don't think you're going to get a vinyl logo to stick to that with any success, and I doubt the boxers will enjoy the footing.
  15. Discussion Copyright Issues

    Homeland Security has been known to act as an enforcement arm of large corporations over copyright violations. Way back in 2010 they raided a number of websites at Disney's behest and shut them down, with raids on private residences as part of it. The completed raids were actually announced by...

    Dibond is the original solid core panel. Used in architecture before it was used for signs. Alumacorr was the first fluted plastic core I remember seeing.

  20. Installation advice please

    I think somewhere there is a disconnect between the customer, the sign shop, and whoever the permitting authority is in this case. May advice to the OP is to get in front of things and talk to the permitting authority directly about what is/isn't allowed. For that matter, look up the sign...
