aaavectorgraphics.com has one. $10.00.

As luck would have it, I just spent the past few hours catching up on my required reading. One tome I read (a few chapters of) was a law book geared to folks seeking their MBA. All about contract law ( I hate contract law as I had to sit through hours of UCC law...boring...lol) and from...

@signmeup Boy, did you hit some GREAT points!!! Keep at it. I also think we may have used the same vendor on a cabinet. Something very similar happened to me once. In general: In my state there are two types of "electricians." Sign electricians and general contractors. Sign guys...

Hey, when you have as much money as the UL folks, you can hire the best lobbyists to assure you stay on top. For what UL charges, they should have an inspector check each and every sign before it goes out the door. That will never happen. So it still comes down to the actual craftsmanship by...

I am a bit confused. The panel is going to go into a lighted sign cabinet. I also get the impression the lights no longer work. As a tenant, I'd be bitching to the landlord on that. But that is another issue. I know how to do this on a billboard. But in a cabinet where the one corner...

We have dumped two "agencies" over the past 10 or so years because they never wanted to take responsibility for their screwups. That and they always passed the buck by telling their end client it was us (or another shop) who made the error(s). I won't tell you of the wars that has started...

@splizaat (and everyone) Most political suibdivisions are fairly good about posting their sign codes on-line. It would behoove you to download what you can find for each area you work in and have them as a reference. Even if what the customer wants is a violation, we will supply same...

Well that depends on your firewall. And whether it is hardware or software based. What MS gives you is a joke. A software freebie such as Zone Alarm will at least give you 2-way protection in that you can stop malware from phoning home. I haven't seen many firewalls stop malware from...

While I do not condone what that person did and he is, indeed, a criminal - I do take issue with the various political subdivisions mandating a UL label. The article was misleading due to the fact the reporters do not have a clue as to how UL and the industry work. The bottom line is if...

I only use free and that is for the only computer that hooks up to the Internet. I recently dumped AVG and went to Avast because it has an on/off switch. I need that as I have a collection of programs that use a memory location that all AV programs identify as a potential virus. So, when I...

I have used Parker Davis many times in the past and found them lacking in strength at the cross weld. A few years ago we switched to Ver-Mac Industries stakes and haven't looked back. Their weld is across the frame, not within it (much stronger). For a while we were ordering direct but now...

@rm25x There is a guy in my area that does do on-site vinyl cutting. I have seen his rig in various parking lots. He has a box type truck with a gas generator attached to the back. Never saw the inside. I'd think that the heat inside a box truck would raise hell with vinyl in short...

LED's are tricky. To get the proper effect sometimes you have to get several brands, attach them with scotch tape and test them in a darkened area by adding or subtracting til you achieve the desired effect. There is a company that sells strings of of LEDs (buy it by the foot) made for...

Believe it or not, there are some brands of vinyl that will lose their warranty unless applied wet to glass. Read that in an old issue of Sign Graphics. Don't recall the names. You said full window coverage. Commercial app.? If so, and on the first floor, you might wish to check local...

Love it!!!!!!!!

gnemmas hit it. The "we tow" type signs have to meet local regulations as to what copy has to be on the signs as well as the size of the letters plus where on the property they have to be placed as well as the number of signs needed. Local regulation usually means state code in most...

I live in the Lightning Capital of North America and let me tell you that all my computers and the plotter (plus the phones) are on a UPS. I don't really care all that much about an outage but you really need something to condition the juice in this geographic area. Spikes and surges as well...

If you MUST use a saw, get a carbide tip blade made for metal. The rake is slightly different then ones for wood, etc. Veneer blades can be used on very thin sheets in a pinch. They work best if there a scrap wood board under it where you will be cutting into the board a bit as well...

Not to start an argument, but good luck with that. No such "LAW" exists that I have ever found or come across. I have numerous volumes on corporate law and no mention there that I recall. Maybe case law - I don't know - not an area I usually delve in. In any case, got a cite? Even if...
