  1. Vinyl Lettering Coming Off

    There could be something to this. When I was hand lettering back in the day I would occasionally run into a truck paint job in which the painter was apparently getting fish eyes. Instead of properly cleaning the surface they used an old painting trick of adding some liquid silicone (Smoothie...

  5. What, exactly, makes sign people qualified to design anything?

    I too agree 100%. After 30 years in the graphics industry I wonder these same things almost daily. Likely I'd have never posted them in such a well thought out post as you did nor even have the guts to. But I agree, what do I know?

  7. Change white channel letters to black but still light up

    A new Sprint store opened up in our town this month. It has a wall mounted sign of white channel letters with a black return. I got a call from an out of town Sprint representative today asking if we could make those letters black but so that they would still light up at night. I'm pretty sure...
  8. S\Help sawing rolls of lam and adhesive in half

    We do the same thing with the same tool and blade. I cut 1" off our laminate rolls so when laminating I have 1/2" on each side to play with so if it skews a bit I don't get adhesive on my roller nor does it stick to the back table. Initially I was concerned with gumming up the edge of the...
  9. How do multiple rolls of vinyl come in from your supplier?

    "If I order two 24" x 50 yard rolls of vinyl from them they stack them both into a 48" long box so you've got two 20 pound boxes on each end and a little cardboard in the middle." We use R-Tape mask and it always come packaged like that. Nothing else does though.
  10. Pinstripe Practice Surface

    Go to a local junk yard and talk them into letting you walk in and practice on vehicles. It gives you some practice on designs and color combinations Take some prep supplies with you and have a blast.

    Yep, you can cryogenically freeze yourself, suspended in time, and when they finally thaw you out... you're still gonna die!

  13. Trying to block out light with vinyl

    I found out late yesterday evening that the windows are all 1" thermopane with low E glass. From a Google search I found: "Specially designed coatings, are applied to one or more surfaces of insulated glass. These coatings reflect radiant infrared energy, thus tending to keep radiant heat on the...
  14. Trying to block out light with vinyl

    Thanks guys. A ton of great ideas and a new caution I hadn't thought about. Thermal shock. This is supposed to be put on from the inside with the School Pride slogan to be read from inside the gym. I'm going to look into these suggestions. Thanks a million.
  15. Trying to block out light with vinyl

    Our local Middle School has sixteen, 41-7/8" W x 25-1/2" H windows high along the East side of their gym. Throughout the morning hours the sun comes in those windows nearly blinding anyone in the gym who is facing East. They want us to block out the light coming in and while we're at it put a...

  17. Need help identifying this font

    I have no idea who did this originally but this customer is asking us to add one name to the bottom of this list. We don't seem to have the font. Could someone identify it?
