  1. Drill bit for stone facade.

    30” x 8’ cabinet going above the awning.
  2. Drill bit for stone facade.

    We’re installing a LED sign cabinet on a building with a stone facade. Concrete drill bit with hammer drill won’t touch it. Neither will a masonry bit. Any recommendations to get into really hard stone? TIA.
  3. Brick Vinyl

    Only useful for short-term applications. Around 3 months so they say.
  4. Brick Vinyl

    Laminate this with a cast lam and go… https://www.drytac.com/product/polargrip/ As others have said, it’s a workout to get it heated and into the mortar joints. 5 year life expectancy.
  5. 5’ x 10’ 6mm ACM availability

    Thanks all (and stickerhed.) NGlantz has them available. Building 1"x4" pressure treated subframe to mount the panels to. The concern with 3mm is that it will not lay as flat as 6mm, i.e. look somewhat wavy and uneven. Plus, it's south facing and gets brutal sun. Thicker is better is my...
  6. 5’ x 10’ 6mm ACM availability

    We’ve got a 5’ x 20’ building sign to install and are looking for 6mm ACM vs. 3mm. Any recommendations on where to get it? Grimco only has 3mm in 5’ x 10’. Reece charges to ship from some remote branch that may have inventory (a lot…) TIA.
  7. Need Help In Search of Oki M5 GX Inks

    Just a point of distinction. Mimaki didn’t buy Oki. There is a world-wide agreement between Oki and Mimaki (for ColorPainter printers) whereby Mimaki has exclusive distribution (incl. sales, marketing and support) of ColorPainter. No acquisition.
  8. Adding ecommerce

    I appreciate your questions and they are reasonable, but it’s not really the point of the post.
  9. Adding ecommerce

    Yes, we need to understand those aspects of the web design/tool. We already spend entirely too much time with garbage files. lol.
  10. Adding ecommerce

    Could be anything we make as a Signs & Graphics company. Decals, magnets, banners, window/floor/wall graphics, wraps. Lots of options.
  11. Adding ecommerce

    For 2022 we're looking to update our website and add an element of ecommerce. I recognize that a lot of money can be spent on these things, which is okay with a good ROI, but are there any recommendations on web/ecommerce developers for small businesses? TIA
  12. Best way to mount an ACM sign to corrugated metal siding?

    Thanks all for your input and feedback. We continue to learn and get better at providing exceptional value to our clients. One quick note about caulk. We used roofing sealant (vs. silicone) to seal mounting holes on a previous job. It's sticky for a while, but I'd image will provide lasting...
  13. Best way to mount an ACM sign to corrugated metal siding?

    Makes sense. What do you use for stringers and what fasteners do you prefer to mount the stringers? Thanks all for your input.
  14. 3M Blue Tape alternative

    There are often times when an alternative/lesser known product costs less and even performs better. I'm not crazy about 3M Blue tape performance to start with. And as someone said in this thread, it does add up. So why not see if there's a better option?
  15. 3M Blue Tape alternative

    General use/vinyl application, not masking off painted areas.
  16. Best way to mount an ACM sign to corrugated metal siding?

    What fasteners do you recommend for mounting an ACM sign (for argument sake, lets say a 4' x 8' sign panel) to corrugated metal siding? Part of the issue also are the metal screws with which the metal siding is screwed into place with. Thus the sign panel can't be flush mounted to the siding...
  17. Ideal portable table to take on install sites.

    We have several of the folding/locking plastic types. They are not ideal, mostly because they aren’t flat across the table. The fold makes them somewhat concave. Any recommendations for really great portable work tables? TIA.
  18. 3M Blue Tape alternative

    We use quite a bit of rather expensive 3M Blue Tape. Anyone have suggestions for a cheaper alternative, perhaps even better performing? TIA.
  19. In the market for cheaper laminator.

    If you buy RS Sigmont, you better be prepared for all sorts of stuff not being right with it. Terrible QC.
