Jason, Beautiful Sign. Both the former posts are good. I'm using Sikkens Log and Siding. I often blend it with other Sikkens stains to give it a little soul.

Bikecomedy This isn't a font but a custom letter style. It's so simple and can be digitized in minutes using Eurostyle or Micrograma as the model. I'll do it for you if you like. Joe Crumley

Jill...... You scare me with the comment "D!cking around with the swissors". Joe

Their Opaque paint is just that and dry's flat. The transparent colors will cover with extra coats but what's the point? Look, call them and get their color chart. That's a must with Nova! At some point you may want to purchase 8oz. jars and give them a try. I topcoat with MM UV clear to get a...

Well perhaps "NO" is the correct answer but we don't know much about his product. Is it plastic, metal, HDU or what. At my shop I gave up on Matthews and auto paint long ago but I'm in the dimensional sign business, using HDU and Wood. The answer depends on the substrate and finish. Joe

Spanky, To assist it's important to know what type of foam. EPS, HDU, etc. Second what is the surface material you are having trouble with? Gees it's hard to assist without this info. Joe Crumley

I had my first Website made by Mark Fair, it was a beauty, and didn't know if it would pay off. It took about a year before I slowly began to see any results. Up to that time I was using yellow pages and they had become not very successful. Now I live off my WebSite. It's my only advertising and...

Another advantage to purchasing Corel Draw is the huge number of great fonts, not to mention how affordable it is. And it has more import filters than just about any other software on the market. However they are small fish compared to the Adobe group. They could buy up Corel in a heartbeat...

J. That's what a tire sign should look like. I really like the layout. To me that's where a sign is made. I really wish you were using a lift instead of the ladders. My back hurts already. I'm not surprised at your painting skills. You the Gal. Joe

Adrian, Once again I have no favorites. However this isn't about Illustrator alone. It's about the adobe package. What ever you feel comfortable with is fine with me but each has it's strong points. I've never cared for priority systems like Adobe, Gerber, and others but they have led the way...

Fred, That looks like a wonderful set of management tools but they don't give prices On-Line. That usually meant big dollars. I gotta give them a look see but I bet it's beyond most pocket books. Joe Crumley

Were all of one mind and heart. Thanks for the thoughtful, sad, post.

I don't have a dog in this fight so I feel unencumbered. I've got it all on both sides. While I love Corel, it's just not up to the Adobe level. There are lots of options Corel has the advantage with such as importing just about any kind of file and quick outlines in color but when it comes to...

Congratulations on the website and filling us in on your progress. We need more posts like this. It's inspirational. Wish you lived closer! Joe Crumley

Dear Signrios, who ever that is, I've found Summa support to be excellent. They have been willing to stay with me on several occasions and even did follow-ups. What a great company. Good products too. Joe Crumley

I never, ever see enough of your fine work. Aside from the excellent craftsmanship, the concepts are correct too.

I'm With You. What ever you think is fine with me. Joe Crumley www.normansignco.com

Thanks for the update Craig. Lets keep in touch on the ways to use this paint. It's a fun learning curve. How do you create a paragraqph in this forum?

Not worth a reply!

These posts crack me up! I'm a product of higher education and taught on the college and University lever for years before opening up my sign company. As an Art Instructor I must report the difference between a Fine Arts Degree and Commercial Arts Degree is structure. I'm not going to parse...
