  1. Put up a sign in LA and get arrested, $1 million bail

    I have never heard of a building wrap installed with the harware listed. This has to be more than a real wrap. Banner material or vinyl mounted to some of substrate? Wish there was a pic. with the article.
  2. Naz-Dar Question

    I always use the factory retarder. Better safe than sorry. Since we use 100% retarder as our thinner with the 79 series ink we really have no drying problems and I am in Florida where summer temps get high and we virtually print outdoors. I have a seriously long extension cord on the office...
  3. Transparencies for 18x24

    By all means use Ruby. It is made for litho and screen printing and is cheap. I'd do all my screen print film work using Ruby and my Graphtec if it wasn't for tiny type we run into from time to time which necessitates us buying a film positive which recently got exorbitant. When you get...
  4. stupid song lyrics...

    After a few adult beverages while on liberty the guys from my division used to sing this ditty: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/phil+ochs/men+behind+the+guns_20108161.html Hear it at the top of...
  5. High Quality Vector Clip Sets

    Last night I was surfing and found a blurb about Bee-Line graphics that was interesting in that all their art is vinyl-ready (pre-welded where necessary I guess).
  6. wrap experts killer camo

    It may be your drive. Can another computer read the disc? If so, try this (assuming a PC with Windows): Go to your control panel SYSTEM/Hardware/Device manager. Where is says DVD/CD highlight it and delete it. Reboot. Upon reboot your plug and play will see the device and re-install...
  7. Any Takers ?

    I'm not far away. That will cover the chemical costs and my gas. The guy is looking for charity work.
  8. Naz-Dar Question

    About 95% of all our screen work is polypropylene (coro) or polypropylene coated paper stock we only use CDF-4 from Ulano. Naz Dar vinyl inks soften the hell out of it. I haven't tried an indirect stencil with that ink. You DO need a vac. table to hold the vinyl. We have stopped using vinyl...
  9. Homemade Coro One Color Screen Press

    You did leave off a kick leg. You can use wood but you will find that a spring-loaded one will make work go so very much smoother http://www.awt-gpi.com/product72.htm That's not the type we use but the principle is the same. As far as burning a screen....use your plotter to cut...
  10. Banner stand for pickup truck bed...

    If the banners are to go length-wise on the truck then simple magnets will do the trick (assuming someone will monitor the truck). For the bed, make or buy anything suitable for the budget as long as it is rust-proof. To get it tall on the bed, a nicely painted (and free) shipping palette...
  11. PDF Virus

    Viruses in PDF's is really very old news. Avoid them - get rid of your bloated ADOBE reader and use any one of the many other readers (mostly free). I prefer FoxIt reader because it is lightning fast.
  12. Finishing HDU

    We get at least a 1/2 dozen sign and industry trade mags here and I have been reading about HDU since it came out. Never used it myself. All, to a one, stated that it is best to use the recommended primer and use it as prescribed in the literature. Then you can use any paint you wish as a...
  13. PCV Sign Frame

    As to digging holes...what is going where? Landlords hate to pavement and asphalt dug into. Shouldn't be a problem in dirt/grass areas as long as you don't hit underground phone lines and the like. Due to wind loads, any sign post has to be driven in the ground at least 2 feet, usually...
  14. Wholesale work for local individuals

    I'm with nodrenim. If they have a resale tax number and are in the business then treat them like any other wholesale customer. You never know what tomorrow will bring.
  15. Looking For 64" Mutoh for sale

    I looked up the specs. Does it really weigh 2,160.53 pounds?
  16. Carbon fiber for the hood

    F.W.I.W, real carbon fiber is about to be the new asbestos. Take that to the bank. Anyone working with it should protect their respiratory system the best way they can.
  17. Routed Surface?

    Can't help you with the product but once you finish put a sticker on the back with a "Re-order from:" on it. We also apply stickers on indoor electric panels near the switch for the sign shut off with "Sign Service" and our name on them even if we weren't the original installers.
  18. Malware-virus

    I run AVG as well. AVG and all its kin check for viruses. Malware, under a dozen different names/terminology are not viruses, per se. Therefore they are rarely caught by an anti-virus program. You could have an anti-malware program open as well. That should not conflict with an...
  19. Decals on concrete floors in a warehouse????

    To get lots of wear and tear in a warehouse you probably need to lam with non-slip and long-wearing nylon. In the end it will be far better, cheaper and probably more profitable to cut a paint mask and brush paint or spray bomb with traffic yellow paint. No long-term adhesion problem with...
  20. Ever use Apanel / MultiPanel?

    Interesting stuff http://www.multipanel.com.au/howto.html
