  1. Neon looking font????

    Anyone know of a nice simple font that will look like neon tubing. Don't need the fx or gradients, just the basic lettering. Something like the attached
  2. No More Gemini For Us

    Sorry- Gemini NEEDS to do the right thing! If they need to send a pickup order for the letters, bring them back and make your template, then that is exactly what they need to do. They bull****ted me once saying that they couldn't assemble my template because some of the letters came from a...
  3. Should I trade?

    If a PC is a Cadillac, a mac is a Maserati Macs have definitely LOST some of their most obvious superior aspects in the last 5 years, but they still handle better.
  4. Solyx film installation

    and for what it is worth- I use the white max blades... I do not actually know the difference.
  5. Solyx film installation

    actually I use more than a few drops of baby shampoo more like 1/2 teaspoon per gallon... and note the color. If the solyx doesnt slide easily enough, youcan add a little more.
  6. Solyx film installation

    I have done 1,000s of feet of solyx! A few drops of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo per gallon will save your hands (do not use detergent!), and a few good wet sprayers. Cover the edge of a squeegee with wide fuzzy velcro for first squeegee run (to set the film in place) then: (and the...
  7. Sign Luminaires

    Years ago, we used to buy outdoor sign luminaires, which used 4' HO tubes and wired to a remote ballast. These were lightweight and sealed, so they could rotate on up to 2' long cantilever rods. Now, I need something just like this, but using LEDs of course... and am having NO LUCK finding...
  8. Best ink / paint for upholstery vinyl ?

    I would spray vinyl paint It sounds like something we do occasionally. There are terrific vinyl spray dyes/paints at the auto supply... our favorite is SEM which also has the best range of colors. Just cut a mask and keep the vinyl dye/paint as thin as you can so it wont crack. Also, to get a...
  9. Font ID Help PLEASE

    Not all lettering is a "font." These do not necessarily indicate the existence of a complete similar alphabet.
  10. How long does a sign last?!!!

    sign system went in in 1988 We have been watching this one pretty closely to answer exactly the initial question. In 1988 the system was installed using aluminum extrusions with baked enamel (dark bronze) and 3M engineer grade lettering and graphics. The very last of the original signs is being...
  11. Who prints small dibond jobs???

    OK- Probably been asked and answered already... but I cannot find where (?) I am always needing UV cured dibond/acs printed pieces... but not enough to buy myself a flatbed. I can get sintra and aluminum and other stuff flatbed printed as small one-offs, but having a hard time getting dibond...
  12. Painting Glass in Very Cold Weather

    ...yeah a few problems show their ugly heads! I am thinking that if we cover the glass with ACM, and some numb-nuts start banging on it, they are going to break the glass. Might be smarter to cover it with something softer that takes an indent like gatorfoam or even coroplast. Cost wise it...
  13. Painting Glass in Very Cold Weather

    That's Why I Love you guys! Never even entered my mind! ACM to cover everything! Bet I could even VHB it right to the glass. Also considering (now) .032 aluminum anodized. Thank YOU! Soundhound
  14. Painting Glass in Very Cold Weather

    Hi Everybody- I am hoping that someone has been here before and can offer me some advice. Good client moved into abandoned Blockbusters, pizza huts, etc and built mini-hospital emergency rooms. Lots of them. Unfortunately, they were in such a rush to get these built that they laid studwall...
  15. Attention Oldies...

    I get this all the time, too... The thing is that there is no one you can put any responsibility on anymore. The contractors who are still around are BIG, and they just want their people to move FAST, and on to the next job. So if yours sucks, well too bad. I used to be able to find...
  16. Replacing pan faces...?

    OK, I know this is boring, but I am wondering if anyone has come up with a "better way" to approach replacement of a normal say 4' x 10' pan face in a standard illuminated cabinet? I can get a white lexan face delivered to my shop, but is there someone digitally printing before extruding, or...
  17. The NEW paints.....aaarrrrgggh!

    anything with low voc that works with vinyl? What i am hearing is that (most) everyone is still using paints as similar as possible to what we used to use... OIL BASED ENAMEL. These are being replaced with latex paints (somebody mentioned Valspar) but suddenly I am seeing lifting vinyl...
  18. The NEW paints.....aaarrrrgggh!

    Thanks--- what about a primer? OK--- Rustoleum is what I will use! The current job is a dark olive color, so I really need a tinted primer for the MDO. Any recommendations, or do y'all just thin out the rustoleum?
  19. The NEW paints.....aaarrrrgggh!

    The guy at my local Benj Moore dealer talks a mile-a-minute about how great all these new paints are, and how the world of high-finance is backing Moore over all others, and it all sounds like a load of BS to me. All I want is a decent paint to put on MDO, and I guess if I have to pay $50 a...
  20. Interior supergraphics masking

    Hi Everybody--- I have a project that requires BIG lettering on vast expanses of interior walls. The walls have been painted with latex (over vinyl wallpaper) and we are using digitally printed wallpaper wherever we can. My question is what is the best way to lay down large (4' tall+)...
