  1. Vvivid Review

    We honestly just ordered some brushed aluminum vinyl from them about a month ago. They were significantly cheaper than other vendors we deal with, so we decided to give them a try. I don't have any complaints about the product as it was just installed on a smooth wall surface and it looked nice...
  2. Block Wall for School

    Yeah I agree, I believe the heat gun is supposed to be mounted so that it is an inch away from the substrate and move at a speed of 4" for second.
  3. Block Wall for School

    We just wrapped a block wall just like this at a local University. We used 3m's LX480mC and it turned out great!
  4. Electro-Matic Digital Signs

    We had a salesman from Electro-Matic Visual reach out to us about possibly being a vendor for their EMC's and we are meeting with them today. I just wanted to see if anyone has any personal experience with them and any pro's/con's they have found. We are currently a dealer of Daktronics EMC's...
  5. Looks very familiar, any help with this font?

    Hey everyone, we had a customer come in today for some cut vinyl and wants the number 3 like the picture I attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  6. Please educate me on ADA signs

    We have done quite a few jobs ourselves that require ADA signage. We've had good luck with both Vista Systems and Sign PDQ. Both seem to be reasonably priced and quite at getting you estimates. PM me if you need anymore information and I can get you our contacts info. https://www.vistasystem.com...
  7. Suggestions Painted Cinder Block Wall

    Yeah we were sure add in more than enough labor time into our quote. Also we will be using the 3M TSA-4 for applying the vinyl to help with steady heat and pressure.
  8. Suggestions Painted Cinder Block Wall

    The letters will be mounted behind a weight rack approximately 7' - 8' foot off the ground. We talked about cutting out places in the vinyl to put strips of tape directly to the wall for better adhesion but wasn't sure if it would help much with the wall being painted. Another factor that we are...
  9. Suggestions Painted Cinder Block Wall

    Yeah thats what were thinking as well too unfortunately, it would have just been a lot quicker and easier to slap it on there with the tape versus drilling the stud holes. I appreciate the feedback!
  10. Suggestions Painted Cinder Block Wall

    Hey everyone! We recently got a job to wrap a painted cinder block wall in the weight room of a college stadium. We plan on using 3M's LX480mC as the material but have also seen where people use IJ8624 as their material of choice. Does anyone have suggestions or experience with the two...
  11. 3m ij35c peeling off. interior latex paint. what to do?

    The best way to determine the proper material to use would be using the 3M adhesion test kit. This should significantly help with your choice of material. If I remember correctly from the class I took, they don't typically recommend 35c, they typically say 40c, IJ180mc, or even 480mc depending...
  12. Marquee signs

    I just did a couple of these actually last week. We got the tracks from Gemini and used rivets every 6". There was a lot of man hours that went into it so make sure you account for that when quoting the job.
