Saw this link on a previous post. Looks very interesting! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...bblepen.com/&usg=AOvVaw3wYVBKKBn_dCzh9zjpixQb

$40 with no subscription? I'll have to try it out and see how it works. Paying way more than that a month with adobe.

Yes it's your squeegee strokes that cause this. Key is to not pickup your squeegee but I still think it happens anyway. I laminate all of our windo perf. and it always seems to go away. I think heat helps speed up the process but 14 days should be enough time too. I usually just tell my...

Bought one of these a few months back. I wish I would have done it a long time ago!

I have one coming in this morning who does this to me all of the time. It's my fault for not stopping it really but his daughter died in a car crash last year and these little print projects are keeping his mind off of it. They are these small prints that he applies to bar tops and tables and...

I've worked with both 3M and Avery. They are both conformable but I've only used Avery on a Motorcycle. Either way, I wouldn't try to do this in one piece on both the tank and fenders. I would up-sell an additional color and customize the design adding it to your deep space color. It would make...

I think for us, one of the main reasons for purchasing a bucket truck was for the safety. I found that a lot of jobs found us hanging on and climbing things we shouldn't just to get the job done. Too many times I had just gotten a horrible gut feeling just standing on a ladder, looking down and...

Update. I mentioned to the customer that a pressure washer too close to the vinyl, especially when cold, may have caused this. Response was, "Im not upset. We just need to get it solved moving forward so that more isn’t reoccurring. Consider a thicker material. Needs to stand up to a pressure...

I agree with your input about using 651. Different jobs required different approaches. However, how long do you suppose the vinyl in your picture was on the vehicle in question ?? I presume they are sending you pictures like this, as they are most likely disturbed about something........ ...

Who the hell uses 651grade vinyl on a vehicle or anything meant to be "permanent"? I've used 651 for the better part of 20 years and never had any complaints. Only thing I've noticed was slight cracking in the corners of letters after 5 years or so. We don't do as much cut vinyl jobs anymore...

Oops. Sorry about that. I should have read thoroughly. Not sure why I jumped to that conclusion. Ok...Wrap Design...I like pinterest for inspiration. I get a lot of cool design layout ideas for wraps, billboards and unique signs. Gets the creative juices flowing.

Buy cheap wrap material and wrap your own vehicle a couple of times (with the help of youtube and I'd highly recommend subscribing to the wrap institute). Cheap material is like a cheap guitar. If you learn how to play on a cheap guitar, you'll be amazed at how easy it is on a Martin or $3000...

These are fuel tankers paint is in great condition. Material is Oracal 651 but I have also seen it on 751 and 951. Not sure if we installed or if the customer installed this one. (If customer, it's possible they use rapid tac. We don't) Weather -40 to +90 F I'm 90 percent sure they use pressure...

Depends on what you are hanging. I'm pretty sure they make a mason bit for concrete with re bar. We just did a job with 12" formed plastic letters and even with this particular bit, it's a pain. It will get through but not without a lot of force and you'll need a few extra bits. Since ours were...

I take them out whenever I can. My minimum wage worker/my son can take them out and put them back in and I don't have to use cast vinyl and lam. Seems like a no brainer to me. I will, however, ask the customer what they would prefer first. If they want me to go over them I will. They usually...

I was just contacting a few customers and it reminded me of this post. I, as I'm sure we are all guilty of utilizing the vast forms of technology to communicate with customers. Some prefer a phone call, some a text and some an email. I'm sure it varies by age group but I've dealt with some older...

You're definitely going to want to stop and let the customer know. Like Texas said, have them sign a waiver if you haven't already. If it's a wrap, I've "run" from these in the past. You have know clue how much time you're going to have into it. Hopefully it's just a small amount of lettering...

The way I look at it is, for every Jerk/"tell it like it is" person there are at least a handful of other people who are willing to help out or point you in the right direction. I started out working for a sign company and learned from someone who had been in this industry as a sign painter for...

There are definitely some pretty "basic" questions asked from time to time and I'll admit to eating popcorn when I see them but it does seem that some are looking to poke others in the ribs and that's their main intention on here. At least that's from my prospective. I do know one thing, I'm...

My guess would be, that somehow the job was given to one of the employees there at the airport. Government/union employee who just did a job (that's not supposed to be theirs) the best they could, and the fastest. I mean that in the nicest way possible. There are some amazing workers and some...
