You are going to have to piece it, and a bridge isn't going to work for any length of time as large panels of ACM expand and contract. I usually print an extra inch at the seam, and wrap the edge of each panel so that when they butt together, they look a little more finished. This seems like...

I have a Safety Speed saw. The only regret I have is not buying one sooner. I have purchased both of my saws used, WAY cheaper than buying a new one. I sold my 54" model in favor of a 61.

Hey Guys/gals, I have an XR that is starting to get some age on her and I was wondering is anyone had some ideas of things I need to try. I do my best to keep a clean machine inside and out, and stay pretty current with all of the consumer based consumables, but I feel like it is time to get a...

Thanks for the responses guys and gals. I picked up some weld-on 45 for this particular job, and I bet it is what I had in mind, just didn't know what it was called. I am familiar with VHB and Orafol's UHB tapes, but I tend to get lost in the numbers/descriptions of it.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for gluing pads (such as the ones Gemini uses) to the back of ACM for exterior use? I have used Gorilla in the past and scuffed the backside of the panel first with some luck, but I know there is a better adhesive out there.

I've found some similar fonts, but just haven't found the one yet. Close enough will be good enough for this one. Thanks!!!

I'll be the first to admit that my website is not the best foot forward to the shop. Many of the pictures used are dated or flat out just need to be updated with newer stuff. I'm absolutely terrible at taking after after pictures unless it's for someone else and me getting paid depends on it...

While I appreciate the comment, we're getting a little of track. I'm not wanting to try to bid all of the new jobs that come to town, I am just wondering how the big shops can find me easier or something along those lines. The smaller places usually give me a call anyway, but the big corporate...

The problem is I don't know who the companies are, as in the majority of my sub work is done through a third party, it's not as easy as calling the end customer. I agree with wanting the customers to use local, even if it isn't me, but the ones going through a third party, I figure some money...

Hey guys/gals, I want to make it clear that I'm not soliciting work, just curious about some of the processes. We are a small shop, and have been receiving more and more calls recently for site surveys, installations, etc. I used to dislike getting these calls with often times impossible...

Hey guys, I've been scouring all of my normal sources looking for a specific post/cap combo. The post is 3 1/4" OD and roughly 1/8" wall. If anyone can direct me where to find such posts and caps, please let me know. Thanks

Hey guys, I need help with another one. I usually try to pay it forward and help others, but golly, some of you guys are so good I can't even start to look before someone else has the answer.

I think my dad would be better at answering, (his 42 years in business is a bit more than mine (son) but I have been around for a lot of the purchases, He had a bucket truck years ago and sold it and got out of any lighted sign work when I was probably 10. I picked up another truck a few years...

Hey guys and gals, I was wondering if any of you recognized this one. Thanks!

Perfect! Thank you for your font help over the years!

Hey folks, I was wondering if any of you recognized this one. Thanks in advance!

Depending on how old the letters are, sometimes it can be difficult to remove them without breaking them, especially if the studs are glued very well. I try to save the customers money whenever possible, but I would warn them that if things don't go smoothly, they may end up needing a new set...

Hey guys, I have recently had an issue on some prints, only sometimes with my printer getting out of alignment. In this particular print, the only thing affected was the maroon bar, and you can see that it started off one direction and ended off in the other. Everything else in the print was...

That's it, and I believe that was what I was thinking. Thank you very much!!!

I can't help but to think I remember this font from years ago, but can't seem to find it. Anyone recognize it? Thanks
