Whenever possible, we peel the weather stripping and install underneath. You'd be surprised at how often we can do this. Been looking at this since ISA... fun toy but really no need for it. MagTape Ruler

Center the oval between the stripes. Make sure it ends on a line between the white and black... IMO. Black/White colorcore might be an option, V-carved. OR Could rout down small letters and fill with paint, then rout down and replace "REFINERY" with inset routed letters. Black stripes...

RGB LEDs allow customer to change the color for holidays, etc. and will let him choose the color green to use in order to get a accurate PMS match for his green. Functionality over cost in this case. Sign is 14'-6".

Black perforated vinyl is usually used on channel letters against a light background. At night, the illumination turns them whatever color the LED's are. The challenge here is that it is a black building, and I have to use white for daytime contrast, and green at night per the customer's spec...

From the rear, it's LEDs> diffuser ACR> perf metal> routed blockout material (thin alum). Perf metal would show through the routed areas, and allow light from behind to be cast through the holes. I think you're probably right - but if we use a thin diffuser and a thin perforated metal, I think...

Usually if people are half your price, their level of service, materials, and craftsmanship are eventually going to suffer. Let them shoot themselves in the foot and wait for the customer to come crawling back to you. AND/OR You are overpriced. Museum probably buys banners, retractables, cut...

Bump.

Alright - So, about 6 months ago, customer contacted us with a very specific set of requirements for his sign. The building that it is going on is going to be painted black. Daytime view, he wants it to be white, with green trim and some black lettering for contrast. Nightime view, he...

If you were to gun it in that parking lot, how many would you be picking outta your grill? Enough for dinner? Grackles are the salmon of the skies... you can trust me.

I use a cold war era Soviet-issue garotte.

Window Tinting?

We try to help the guy, then he completely disappears. Suicide? Murder? Retirement? Moved to a new field, far, far away from graphics? The world may never know.

I think you're looking for Tints 101 - we don't talk with them yahoos. This here's a sign forum.

IT'S GON RAIN

I'm sure what you got paid for that is well worth the temporary hassle. nice.

The wasp story is almost as bad. Clearing soffit on another hill house... this time I was lucky enough to have a 30' extension ladder, supported by, on one side, (1) cinder block, (1) 2" x 4", and (1) shady-looking brick. Knock off the very first one on the corner and lo and behold there is a...

Remind them of their Canadian-ness and demand satisfaction. They have no right to not be helpful.

Speaking of wind stories... Before I got into signs, I did construction. Worst was putting up 12' x 12" concrete board siding, with a friend. We were on a 18" wide aluminum scaffold, between two pumpjacks, and the poles were 2" x 4"s butted against each other. (I've never gotten on a pumpjack...

That "Y" reminds me of

Also - IIRC brushed gold will fade to silver in direct sunlight - I'm trying to remember how my brain thought this but I'm pretty sure it's a fact from sometime over the last 10 years. source: brain
