  1. Installing Polymetal 2'x3' signs on interior walls using VHB tape 5952

    regular little push-in plastic drywall anchors for #8 screws should be fine. Have you ever compared the weight of a painting that hangs on a single nail in drywall with one of those angled nail hooks to the weight of a 2'x3' ACM sign? And you'll be using 2 or maybe 4 screws for the sign. A zip...
  2. Colors not matching UCVJ300

    Are you comparing the colors to the colors on your computer screen or to published standards like a Pantone swatch? Is your monitor calibrated?

  4. Insurance from Hartford

    It appears that the rise of vehicle wrapping and tinting shops and probably numerous cases of claims against them has led to the creation of a new category of insurance for sign shops, even though we have traditionally lettered vehicles for many decades and there has been no problem with excess...
  5. Question Wiper error

    Check to see if the error means the wiper can't move properly. If the rail it moves on gets inked up, it might give an alarm because movement is restricted.
  6. Suggestions Reflective sign blanks

    I just called Grimco because my catalog listed $23.65. They quoted $42.20. I asked why, and they said price increases on the raw aluminum and on the EGP vinyl were the reason they raised prices on Jan 1.
  7. trailer rivet question

    Are the screws really bothersome?
  8. gotta love the rich...

    The point is that if you register your boat with your state, it's treated the same as a car or a small boat. They collect sales tax, you pay a registration fee, and then they give you a license number you have to put on the boat. If the boat qualifies for it and the place you use it is...
  9. trailer rivet question

    No. The aluminum is held on with double sided foam tape. And when you put the screws back in the same holes they came out of, everything is back where it was before. They are not under tension.
  10. Head Maintenance

    On our Epson S70670, Printhead maintenance is for the operator to manually clean around the edges of and between the printheads with solvent and a swab, then to clean the capping station and wiper with a swab. The only part the machine plays in that is moving the printhead to the far end for the...

    That actually reminds me of the zinger in boat names. The reason they are getting the boat name is to avoid paying sales tax on their $2 million boat. Even on a more common $100,000 boat, paying a few hundred for a name on the boat is way cheaper than paying sales tax and getting a license number.
  12. gotta love the rich...

    People want a good deal, but what I find (and we do a lot of boat names) is that the guys who have worked hard at construction or insurance or even as a professional like lawyer or doctor, and can afford a boat, tend to know when a deal is already decent, and the going rate. When we tell them...

    Big spenders think that they can always get a better deal. The best way to deal with them is to walk. Unless you really are overpriced and they find a competitor who does the same thing for less, they will come back.
  14. Recommendations for Green?

    You have to remember that all this "going green" stuff (and certifications) are really a sham. Discontinuing the use of straws in the US saves no sea animals. etc. etc.

  16. sign gold

    I'm not sure what you are talking about with "faded" and "satin". If it is truly faded, then it's not real Sign Gold. That doesn't fade. It's more likely Avery Florentine swirl gold or Variegated Gold (which is also made by R-Tape), which use a silver colored foil beneath a transparent yellow...
  17. Suggestions How to hang a double sided 4 x 8 sign

    We have a 4x8 we made about 7-8 years ago from two-sided Lusterboard that hangs from two eyebolts on a wood frame. Lusterboard was 1/2" plywood with aluminum laminated to both sides. It has plastic edging caulked onto it. We used metal brackets that bolt to the sign and a screw carabiner to...
  18. trailer rivet question

    The screws (not rivets) on a typical utility trailer need a #2 square bit to remove. Buy a bunch of the bits because if they get rounded at all, they ruin the screws. We remove them, then put them back after applying the lettering or wrap. We find that to be faster than doing a good job of...
