    Anyone know where to get these z type brackets. I thought it would be simple at Home Depot or Lowes. Also checked at the local Ace hardware. It has a tag on it like it came from a retail store, but it's too faded. This would be ideal, but something close would work. Any ideas Thanks

  8. How to repair PVC (Komacell)

    Today I cut out a 3x6 Komacell (PVC). I routed the edges and noticed while I was sanding it before priming that it had a imperfection right in the middle of the face. It looks like it had a void in the material while it was being made. The void is about 1" x 1" area and and is not even 1/32"...

    This started growing on it's own in my front garden about a month ago. I thought it was a weed, but it started to flower. It has been growing at least a foot a week. My daughter swears she knows what it is. I won't say it here so I don't taint anyone's idea of what it is. If she is right, I...

  12. Do you give a test ?

    I'm looking to hire a new graphic designer. Do you give them some type of test to see if they can actually design anything other than a stop sign ? Many come with a nice portfolio, but I'm not sure if it's even their own work. So, if you do test them, what type of test do you give them ...

    About 2 years ago we printed onto clear Roland vinyl and put it on white lexan. Now it's peeling off. Someone just told me it's because I must have put it on the wrong side. He said that Lexan has a correct side to letter. Anybody know if this is really true ? Thanks JT
