  1. Post/panel Installing 4x8 3mm ACM sign

    I don't think he needs 3 posts, Gino. Horizontal support is fine. I'd probably run a vertical stringer between the two 2 bys so it doesn't sag.
  2. WOW!

    We've been slammed since about a month after Irma. In 10 years in the trade, every day since has been the busiest I've seen. Here's to hoping El Nino never materializes.
  3. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    We have set pricing for full wraps on small utility vans (NV2500/small sprinter), large utility vans (2500, etc.), small pickups (ranger), large pickups (150/ram), and quad cabs. Makes it easy and quick to be able to run off quotes for customers on the fly, and in the field. We pad them over...
  4. Rant acting before thinking

    Mr. Pink - If only 10% are doing printed vinyl, sounds like you can make a killing by changing the print culture of your area. Word of mouth is the most important part of marketing, period. It's like having your own private salesforce. People talk about quality, and if no one else is...
  5. Rant acting before thinking

    You're trying to break into a tough business, with outdated equipment that won't allow you to compete. That's the crux. If I was in your position... I'd probably start by making a brand. Not your brand, mind you. I'd start by picking a local favorite product family (ex. Whiskey!), area, or...
  6. 2'x17' vinyl install

    Take the panel off the wall, back to the shop. Run through laminator/press roller. Bingo. 1 man job.
  7. Will the chaos ever end?

    If you have all the info, you can technically do it in a day. Just ride your subs. That came out wrong.
  8. Will the chaos ever end?

    No, they'll still have their heads up... ah nevermind. It would still be "Obama's fault". Whole business is dang silly.
  9. Will the chaos ever end?

    Currently managing 5 monuments myself, along with a few sets of channel letters... all in various stages. When it gets real fun is when you have 2 or 3 clear permits at the same time.
  10. Will the chaos ever end?

    At Least Gemini is Standing Firm, lol.
  11. Wazer

    Show some work when it gets there. A pretty good chunk of our dimensional stuff is small letters/logos - I think it would eventually pay for itself but it'd take a while. Still cool to have around.

    Looking for this font - S is throwing me off.
  15. Need help manufacturing this

    Yea, +1000 for metal. EMCs weigh about 200-250 pounds per side. Aluminum frame, skinned with painted aluminum. I'd space the TREX out with 1/2" studs from the aluminum skin so water doesn't get trapped. If it was me, I'd plant a pole or two for the EMCs, then build the masonry around the...
  16. Need a Camera

    Not the "best" use of negative space there, Johnny.
  17. Need an installer referral in Michigan

    Guy named Art did some work for me when I worked for a FastSigns - not sure if he does Masonry though. 248-238-6919
  18. ACM bending

  19. My Very First 3D Sign w/ the Shaper Origin

    Wonder how the OP's sign ended up looking.
  20. Sublimation issues (aluminum/plaques)

    Upsell it as a patina.
