  1. Banner Help

    I'd be curious as to what that means. Ask them for a spec sheet. The trademark office has no reference to "SignaCore." Assuming it is spelled correctly.
  2. wind load calculation

    I have run into idiots at both the permit office as well as the construction licensing board and several times with the inspectors. Luckily, I have only been red tagged once and that was in error as the inspector failed to do the math correctly. To defeat them, I rummage through their files...
  3. pantone chart

    Yes, you do need to update Pantone almost yearly to keep up. They constantly make changes and additions - that's how they keep their income stream. Check their Web site for all the products they supply...a bit overwhelming and very pricey. As to the vinyl, you can color it with the...
  4. Routing Coro Statue by hand

    Care to be a bit more specific? What is a "coro statue" for starters? If you are talking something like pasting a photo of a person on coro and then cutting an outline to make it look like s/he were standing there in-person then a one-up job would be cut with a razor knife (it's a...
  5. Client wants Spray Painted words on painted brick

    Obviously you have some bad experience here. I am not questioning that. But normally applying any oil based paint over latex is not an issue. The opposite usually is. My big bugaboo is painting anything over where Behr paint has been used. That is a big seller from the big box home...
  6. Client wants Spray Painted words on painted brick

    I gave you the quick and dirty way. We still have a 8' x 10' electro pounce setup on a wall in the back shop. When I started doing pounce by hand I had a 4' x 8' sheet of something (can't recall the name) that was a soft building material item that we made bulletin boards out of (used for...
  7. Adding customers to your mailing list?

    Having queried them on a matter has established a business link or nexus and you are free to use their addy in your spam list. Doing a "cold call" via e-mail has a federal law attached. See the FTC site for details. All e-mail solicitations, legal nexus or not, must have an opt-out link...
  8. Coroplast life outdoors?

    Go for it!!! If nothing else, you could sell them as Halloween decor.
  9. An Intellectual Property suit that shouldn't have happened.

    W/o going into the history of it all, Florida (and several other states) adopted a law that says the candidate has to approve the entire message. That is why on radio and TV commercials you will not only see that as text but hear the candidate speak it as well. So, even if a campaign...
  10. Git R Done font suggestions?

    The phrase cannot be copyrighted. However, it could be a trademark. You can check that on-line.
  11. An Intellectual Property suit that shouldn't have happened.

    Below is the gist of the suit. Florida Governor, Charlie Crist, is not only a lawyer by profession but he was also Florida's Attorney General (chief law enforcement officer) immediately before he became governor so you would think someone with those credentials would know better...
  12. advice on installing window graphics

    Take this with a grain of salt as I really don't install perf...just hang with a few guys who have so I might be blowing smoke and don't even know it. From what I gather if the perf goes edge to edge on the windows then cleaning that is akin to detailing a car. Toothbrush city when it comes...
  13. What do you think of this equipment?

    I didn't see any platens on the first one...he says it is a 6-station...is it? Still, that's a bit high for used no-name equipment. I am sure he expects to be bartered down a bit. Hopkins is an excellent name but still use due diligence and Google the model number and see what negatives...
  14. Stock neighborhood crime watch signs?

    Of course not but the image on the referred-to page is. In fact no short phrase such as "Neighborhood Watch" is eligible for copyright protection. Whatever you find, it would be good if there was a space for the name of the group to be applied. They like that. We are doing some this week...
  15. Japanese? Kanji

    I have got to ask - why didn't the client supply the layout even if you use your own typeface, etc.?
  16. Client wants Spray Painted words on painted brick

    The wall, itself, will determine the best method. You state "brick." That encompasses a lot. You could have deep-set mortar joints or almost flush mortar joints. Since it is painted, at least you do not need to prime. But you do need to properly clean and prep the area to be painted. If it...
  17. French "thingy on the E"

    Or you can just install something like PopChar and see everything inside a font and just click on what you want and it will auto-paste to both your clipboard and whatever you are writing and you don't have to know or lookup the keyboard equivalents. Really a help in forums when you would like...
  18. Coroplast life outdoors?

    I am in west central Florida and a few years ago I ran a specific test. I applied scraps of various colors of cast Arlon onto 3mm Coroplast™ and we overprinted the entire thing with an image that was on the press using NazDar 7900 series ink. Put it on a wire frame and set it outside...
  19. Acrylic Print Holders

    Pic? Sounds like a heat bent peice of plexi that is commonly used to hold photos, menus and the like. We make our own. Your local plastic supply company might supply them to you. Most do machine work (cut and rout) on plexi and some will do simple bends. Call around.
  20. How to remove gold leaf?

    Don't sand with conventional sandpaper. 3M makes a product that probably would be ideal for this task...and I'll be damned if I can recall it's correct name but it is easy to find at Lowe's and HD It looks like a rectangular sponge and comes in several colors which denotes the abrasiveness...
