  1. ** Official 2010 Nor'Easter Thread ***

    I'm working on a sign-up mechanism this weekend. Wanted to get the date out there.
  2. ** Official 2010 Nor'Easter Thread ***

    OK, folks. It's official. Weekend of September 17th at my place. More details to follow, but I wanted to make it real so people can schedule their lives. The fun starts Friday (late Thursday?), and ends Sunday? Monday? Remember, we are 1/4 mile from the bay and a few from the ocean...
  3. New to routing - Metal Laminae Supplier

    Check out commercial cabinet supply houses. Of course most formica and wilsonart you can also order through lowes.
  4. 3165RA Failing?

    I just changed an 3165RA failure this weekend. Solvent print with 1/4" white beyond the ink. Cured for 24 hours pre-lamination. Applied to glass which was spotless in 60° temps. Just a few weeks later cust said edges were lifting. I was convinced he was FOS so I had him come in. It was a few...
  5. Lowe's deal alert

    no link, they are already considered "non-stock" so you'd have to go there and check the clearance area in the electrical dept.
  6. Lowe's deal alert

    Stopped into lowes tonight-they are changing lines on their lamps. Cases of 96" CWHO sign lamps by sylvania were clearance priced at $5 per case of 10. The dept manager said earlier in the day another guy bought 4 cases of them. Great deal!
  7. MDO vs. Flatbed

    This is of course not a suggestion on how to make your machine do it, but rather if you are desperate and need something run on MDO give a shout I'll knock it out for ya. We could probably arrange pioneer to get it back to you if u have them ship me the MDO. Now, my thoughts on the issue. It's...
  8. misdirected anger at lowballers

    suppliers/distributors sell to anyone! They dont give a fk about us. Today, on a delivery truck, I noticed a bunch of gator under my stuff. I asked the driver who that was for (we're usually the only ones on the route with a board like that), and he said, oh yeah, that reminds me, I gotta ask...
  9. How would you prefer to get you banner rolls?

    Open a banner tube in 3 seconds. Stand it up. Pick it up, drop it on the floor at a slight angle, voila MDF cap pops right off and u just lift the sonotube off and away u go. No screwgun needed, works every time.

  11. 'Green' Marketing

    MWYMO Huh? Money where your mouth is. My interpretation of greening our horribly un-green industry: We are recycling all of our wastes at this point EXCEPT backing paper, adhesive vinyl scrap, and banner. Of that, most backing paper gets re-used by school kids. Most vinyl scraps go in the...
  12. 2010 Nor'easter?

    Hey Gang! My absence in response this week was only b/c of good things.....busyness! September in our parts is absolutely glorious. My favorite month here. Labor Day is the 6th of September. Pretty much leaves the weekend of the 10th, 17th, or 24th. Although the 17th would probably be...

  14. 2010 Nor'easter?

    Here's some airport info Atlantic city is the closest. 25 minutes away. Spirit and airtran fly there, we could easily run a pickup shuttle if we can coordinate arrival times. Philly is the second closest, 90 minutes newark is third closest, 90 minutes - slightly longer mileage but shorter...

  16. 2010 Nor'easter?

    It's on at my place if you all want! Tons of signmaking toys, space for tents and BBQ, did I mention a half mile form the bay and a few from the Beach? Plenty of hotels/motels, etc. If anyone wants please PM me let's do it!
  17. Do you Print / Laminate / Cut from home?

    Gino raises VERY good points. He's biased of course, what with all that space and large overhead, he he. But, the life safety aspect of what he said is NOT TO BE DEBATED. Besides the awful smell that will totally permeate your house and your clothing from basement to top floor, do you really...
  18. Aaaaaaaaaaargh PopUP material

    Good god, anyone here actually likes pospro? That crap stinks. FWIW scrimless blockout banner with matte lam works great for popups. I gave up on POSpro long ago. Printing and laming that stuff was a total trainwreck.
  19. reason #3546576 why I dont like farmimg work out!!!!

    Amen to that my friend!!!!!! -Rick
