We have one in house exactly like this in-house. You are wrapping the most difficult part of that bus. Several ways to do this, but for commercial wrap I would seam at horizontal area where that line butts to the vertical area. that seam will hardly be visible down there. Then you could use...

Yep - no debt is a good place to be. Over the years went from 100% outsourcing, to leasing, to bank finance, to cash, and now increasingly more outsourcing as it's just too costly for a small operation to keep up with the various technologies in print. Self-source for service or quality...

Whatever you are looking for? So Geneva offers traditional financing (where I retain the equity in the equipment) and not just leases (where you pay the depreciation and build no equity)? Regardless how you frame it, if you are not paying cash than you are financing.

If you are concerned about noxious fumes versus 'smell' you should consider a low-end HP latex. In theory no noxious fumes and doesn't require active ventilation. Although we get more 'smell' from the vinyl substrate as it heats which itself may be noxious, so I would still be leery of using...

In most cases, it doesn't make sense, unless your credit is poor. Borrowing costs are so low, and every year in memory congress passes accelerated depreciation (talk to your accountant for variations in ways to write-down) which make owning versus leasing a no-brainer tax-wise. Regardless of...

True, lot's of threads on this. But if you want something you likely already have on your desktop use Outlook tasks for a basic solution for small shop.. Set up color-coded categories for each stage. Example Order/Order Production/Order Install/Proposal etc. I sort alpha which is why I...

Given the reasonable cost of new equipment in the entry level space and warranty considerations, buying a used piece of equipment just doesn't make sense unless you have an experienced operator familiar with maintaining that specific piece of equipment. Otherwise Netsol your post is spot-on...

I get it, there's always someone willing to commoditize where others have established demand for the product. Happens in a lot of industries where the focus becomes the cost of component parts and not the value of the overall solution. In your case I would want to be selling an effectively...

For some. But I would define success as the world being at least a little better place for having been in it. One example; our veterans who did what they felt compelled to do, even though they may not have enjoyed it and may have sacrificed their freedom, health , life or even our gratitude...

A case study of something primarily implemented by the private sector (PPP) and something implemented by big government (EIDL). I'm not complaining about PPL - a few delays but remarkably efficient all things considered. I think it moved so fast the bureaucrats and politicians didnt have...

Dust in holes a minor issue - easy to hose clean.

We mostly spray laminate using clearstar. Explain the differences (better dry visibility, temp wet distortion, dirt) and customers usually elect that. I keep samples in shop to demonstrate. We don't laminate if 6 mos. or less. Also set expectation that perf is good for 1-3 years tops and more...

We've had good luck with Fellers house brand Solvex for Latex.

When you speak in terms of 'our side' 'other side' and then go on to lament the political state of affairs, it does not help your credibility. Maybe we are in a parallel universe where Toad has reappeared in conservative form.

Thanks - lot's of variations on the theme. (That guy would be bullied by the girls in my shop.)

I 'furloughed' the employees but called them back for two days for a spurt of business. They were able to get 3 days state unemployment, two days pay from me, plus $600 from the Fed. Made more than I pay in a week. Crazy. Anyway, they are back to work full time. Even so, they are happy to...

Fair enough, but in our case we've been paying salaries for 4 weeks as business continued to decline to to a small fraction. Reached a point where we would need to lay off. To add to what NotReal said, that means increased unemployment insurance costs (in MO if not elsewhere, your rates...

Thanks - I'm eating at Shake Shack next opportunity. I can see the challenge - govt. wanted to get money out ASAP to enable businesses to retain employees; to fully vet borrowers for need would have slowed the whole train down so you get problems like that. Not sure I understand hedge funds...

That would be an interesting read - if you get time forward a link. Playing 'devils advocate' what difference does it make if hedge fund managers get the loans? They employ people, pay taxes and in theory have to certify a need based on negative impavct from pandemic when they apply I'm...

+1 on the Seal Base - ours is the 64" and zero problems since 2011.
