Whats the model number on your Dewalt and does it have a locking feature to do angles? Is the light pretty visible, and is it green or red? That Bosch one I was looking at seems to have decent reviews about being bright since its rated for 100' and being green instead of red.

Haven't done any outdoor floor decals but I use 3M 40C-10R with 3M 3645 for indoor on concrete, vinyl, wood, etc.

Good post. I was just looking at this one earlier from Lowes. I'm looking for one you can lock at angles to match body lines when lettering vehicles. This one seems to have decent reviews. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-VisiMax-100-ft-Green-Beam-Self-Leveling-Cross-Line-Beam-Laser-Level/1000210615

Who do you use for backlit flex face printing? I usually use Indy Imaging but they appear to be closed through this pandemic so I am looking at other options. Looking for vendors that do color/white/color not just double strike.

I don't do a whole lot of cut vinyl beyond simple 1 color stuff or stuff that is needing to last a long time. Here's a couple pics of our racecars that I will usually do multiple layers of cut vinyl or a combo of print and cut vinyls. This was all done with plotter cut vinyl because I like...

I just bought a Kala Mistral 1650 a few months back. So far I really like it but I was coming from a cheap Enduralam (Chinese) made laminator that I had used for the last 10+ years. The Kala is a huge improvement. It tracks straight and the heat assist is awesome to reduce silvering. The only...

I sent in my application on 4/11 and just heard from the bank today that I was one of the last ones they approved before they were out of money. We use a small local bank.

I use 3M 40C vinyl with 3M 3645 overlaminate and they hold up great to normal foot traffic. They are easy to install and remove. A local factory orders them pretty routinely but they go through quite a bit because they run their forklifts over them and turning the wheels when right on top of...

Magnets whenever possible...... for tape I use the blue 1" Duck Clean Release painters tape. Generally has enough hold and doesn't leave any adhesive.

I have installed a couple wraps on beverage trailers that the wrap was supplied by a print house the customer uses and they used 3M IJ180 with liquid laminate and premask. Install was a PITA but I had to work around the protruding vertical bars between the roll up doors. The premask gives the...

It's just a channel letter logo box. I don't fabricate channel letters in-house.

After he sent me an email saying the other quote was over 3k less than mine I suggested that he get more than 2 quotes to get a fair idea of what a quality wrap should be. To be honest I don't want to do it for less than what I quoted because I am like JBurton and will spend a lot more time...

Sorry forgot to mention windows would be covered with perforated 3M 8170-P50 with 3M 8914.

Looking to see your guys thoughts on a ballpark price for a wrap on a shuttle bus. Wrap would be full coverage using 3M IJ180CV3 with 3M 8518. Pictures of the bus are attached. I quoted this project and the organization came back saying I was over $3k higher than their other quote which I'm...

Could you do a banner with pole pockets top and bottom and then use ratchet straps that would wrap around the trailer and either attach to the other side of the banner or find something to grab onto beneath the trailer. Maybe a combination of ratchet straps with some double sided tape to keep it...

The main concern would be ghosting if they remove the graphics from the wrap down the road. The graphics will preserve the color under it while everything around it fades.

There are also some metallic overlaminates such as 3M 8900, Mactac 6398 and Avery DOL 6040 that could be used. Those are more of a metallic flake, not a chrome effect.

Very busy..... Been putting in 12 and 14 hours days for the last 2 weeks. I'm ready to slow down a bit.

Indy Imaging also offers a double sided window decal too. Here's a description of it. https://www.indyimaging.com/products/psv_decals/double_sided_decal/

Signs365 has a product called Dualview. Have one side printed with the image and the other side printed with just the blue?
