  1. Make your own A-Frame handle and hinge...

    We use the metal Sooper Hinge, the plastic ones broke
  2. Printed vinyl application in cold temperatures.

    Applying heat to glass in cold temperatures is risky. It can be done, but carefully. When I absolutely have to use juice I use RapidTac 2, it's definitely a good product. But dry is always our preferred method
  3. Malware attacking composer

    Can you search for any new installed programs and get the names? Then do a search to see how to kill them.
  4. Help redesigning our logo

    You don't "do" vinyl, at the very least you do Vinyl Graphics & Wraps.
  5. a simple question...about borders on signs going into frames...

    So the black frame of the sign kit will stay black, and the orange stripe is inside that? In that case we would put a 1.5" inch orange stripe that goes .5" (aprx) behind the frame. And let them know that because the panel has to float in the frame the orange border may vary very slightly.
  6. Help redesigning our logo

    my suggestions is to hire someone (Like Signamigo or Jillbeans) to do the design, it will be a good investment in your business.

    You sell vinyl?
  8. Installing Perf In Cold

    Razor blade works great on glass. Any residue use any of the adhesive removers then a final wipe with alcohol.
  9. 10x6 sign on corrugated metal. what material? mounting hardware?

    Gino has a good point, nothing wrong with some fasteners on a face, after all the whole building is held together with hundreds of them. Sometimes it's nice to exaggerate the fasteners, especially in an industrial setting like a metal building with a body shop in it.
  10. 10x6 sign on corrugated metal. what material? mounting hardware?

    Since they're a body shop and doing everything except the stencils why not let them build and install it? It could be anything from an aluminum pan sign, a flat panel ACM, an aluminum plate welded to an aluminum frame.... Installing is simple depending on the material chosen, clips screwed to...
  11. silk screening vs printing vs cut vinyl

    The best cast vinyls will last longer than oil or latex paint. Tell him to wash a wax it a few times a year if he wants it to look better longer.
  12. Printing Backlit panels

    These are the only two solutions I have found to give satisfactory results for faces requiring digital printing. I use cut translucent vinyl whenever possible.

  14. "Snow Dots"

    What they said Warm the head first and keep the media clean. Occasionally you will get a little imperfection in the vinyl that will leave a dot too. Depending on the color & the use it's possible to touch up with a sharpie

    Prime & paint it the same as the front.
  16. Advice on mounting a 60" diameter HDU circular sign on a stucco wall?

    Yep, since there are already a lot of holes check them out, or drill one yourself to see. Even though it's a circle I would probably use some clips mounted to the wall. The other alternative would be studs
  17. Old metal sign restoration: method, materials, how much to charge

    OK, I just noticed a few things. That had to be made for them, the neon housings line up perfect. Two, it's not a can, it's just a face? So what does the other side look like?
  18. 4 x 6 Real Estate Post and Panel sign price

    Apparently much less than I'm willing to do them for.
  19. Can a landlord dictate who makes a tenants sign

    Yes, if it's in the lease
  20. Looking for confirmation on GerberMag

    I tried it when we first got our Edge. Never liked running it through the Edge or the plotter. We've always just printed on white vinyl applied to magnum magnet & cut by hand. If it's a large quantity I guess I'd try running it in the Edge/plotter again. I believe they made two versions of the...
