EL really isn't that great. It's not very bright, it's not exactly cutting edge technology. Blue EL sheet... easy to source. Cutting into individual letter shapes... can be done with a stanley knife. That's the end of easy.... EL sheeting is a layered product. The centre core is the...

What an odd system? Write a bouncing cheque and be arrested.... pay a tiny deposit for a sign which is installed on your building and then hold the sign maker hostage?! I can only assume that it's the really dumb customers who get arrested for dud cheques... the smart ones pay a 10% deposit...

Writing a bad cheque in this country isn't a criminal offence... the Police aren't interested and won't get involved. By your logic I should have been stripped clean by thieves and scammers..... in fact I've never once lost money through a bounced cheque. How so I hear you cry? A cheque isn't...

Water with a few drops of washing up liquid or cheap Blue window cleaner. If you're bothered about ammonia just buy the slightly more expensive brands which leave this ingredient out. As far as speed goes a lot depends on what kind of application tape you use. I've always used a low tack paper...

You'll probably find that there are more people who think like CES020 and I.... attitude and "niceness" are things we specifically look for. If you choose to run a business along hard @rsed lines where being "nice" goes out the window you won't get ANY business from people like us. If you...

Reasonable & professional when it comes to the inevitable issue of managing bad debts as well.... from the look of it. I'm impressed by the calmness and the reasonable approach being taken here... it is important to get your money but it's also important to keep a cool head and a sense of...

Your boss is a slapdash moron.... the correct proceedure for payroll is to setup an automated bank transfer on the same day every month, or week... your money appears in your account automatically without anyone having to lift a finger. Overtime is calculated over the week or month and paid via...

I don't understand why you've got your knickers in a twist? You will NEVER find what you're looking for as long as you insist on searching for the WRONG type of vinyl. Whoever told you to look for translucent vinyl is a moron... you need TRANSPARENT material... try typing "coloured transparent...

Artcut is a pi$$poor piece of software but it's good enough to get you started. The drivers for Creation cutters are on the Artcut CD's. If you are trying to hook the cutter up using the USB port you're wasting your time.... Chinese cutters have their own kind of USB ports... the non working...

What kind of problems? How have you come to the conclusion that it's the motor which is faulty? Rough running and missed steps can usually be traced to the driver card not the motor. Try swapping the X & Y driver cards... plug X motor into Y drive and Y motor in X drive... if the motor which...

My advice is to be realistic and look at the bigger picture..... The economies of the US & Europe fell off a cliff in 2007-8.. the UK economy shrank by something like 9%. If you look at the UK right now you'll see quarterly growth of 0.2%... 0.8% annual. Basic maths says that at current...

That's because Flexi and every other piece of specialist sign making software is a pi$$poor copy of Corel... as you've just discovered with CorelTrace the features and tools in Corel are the real deal... they're good, they actually work. Back in the day specialist sign software was still DoS...

Some kind of flex face system like the one Pat linked to... .it's THE ONLY way to make something like this. 10 8x4 dibond sheets or anything else rigid sheet wise nailed onto the wall is going to look nasty, nasty, nasty. Use a flexface and you can make that sucker in one piece.. no joins just...

The problem I can see with silicone is getting a thin enough spread of gunge without the raised beads which WILL show through onto the display side of the laminate. When we use laminates we stick em on with a heavy duty contact adhesive which we apply using a special applicator which cost us...

Not sure I understand? Do you want a 10x5 sheet of Dibond with a brushed stainless steel effect finish? If this is what you want I can't see why you're having such huge problems... Dibond manufacture Brushed Silver material in both 8x4 and 10x5 sheet sizes. Over here we call it "Butler"...

Call me a phillistine but hustling for work on facetube brings to mind visions of someone's dad handing out business cards at the school disco. Twitter is an oxymoron... important world class people like Stephen Hawkings would be possible be worth reading... however, world class people like...

Easy.... Apply solar control film to the inside of the glass... stick standard cut vinyl lettering on the outside. If they don't want to change the letters cut em in reverse stick em on the inside and then float the tint film over. We recently did all the windows and skylights in our factory...

If you lived next door to some one who had spent 500 years alternatively kicking your @rse and the saving that same @rse from the neighbours on the other side you'd be a bit touchie too. :ROFLMAO: The French are hilariously pi$$y about their language... speaking English is a reminder that in...

When I inherited my sign making estate from the 3rd Earl of Avery I clearly recall thinking "how fortunate indeed"...
