  1. Banner Material without fybers

    This kind of sounds crazy but it has worked for us. We have alcohol in cheap spray bottles. We put it on mist and hold a lighter in front of the spray as we shoot it at both ends. It burns off those loose fibers.
  2. 3'x3' Sign On One or Two Poles?

    If they are real estate signs or somewhat temporary then you will be fine with composite panels. Use fender washers and or string 2 3' wide 2"x4"s for added support on top and bottom between the sign face and post. Mdo is only a little more expensive and solves all these problems though. Edit...
  3. Coffee or tea?

    Start the day off with about a pot of coffee to myself with approx 1 cup of sugar. Then around 10am I switch to either a 32oz styrofoam cup of Dr. Pepper or Coke Then around 6pm I switch over to Killians Irish Red What can I say I'm a health FREAK!
  4. Has Google Adwords Worked for you?

    this^^^ the big words yield nothing and cost a arm and a leg. I personally hate online advertizing, I think it has blurred the line between buying local. And even more so I think it has blurred the term "wholesale" Wholesale companies (not all, no disrespect) are selling to the end consumer...
  5. Gill-line is getting hammered by snow

    I guess they are located in Kansas City. They got dumped on last week and are expecting a foot or more in the next 24 hours or so. According to their website they are closing early again today and wont open until Wednesday. We do a fair amount of wholesale decals and have been getting orders...
  6. Nissan NV Tall Van tips?

    I just did a partial on one of these (only the sides). I trimmed the recess, some don't I did and don't feel bad about it at all. Those lines are not straight so keep that in mind when laying it out. The sharp recess about a inch or two up from there is worse. And for some reason on the...
  7. Home Town Buffet

    Don't eat at a place that has one ply toilet paper. Fingers poke through that stuff to EZ when wiping. nom nom nom
  8. New car

    I was in that market a couple years ago. The Acura mdx was smooth. The VW Taurag was a turd. The Ford flex was gimmicky. Land Rovers were unreliable. Outback was cramped. The Nissans were too Nissany. I didn't drive the Volvo but my wife had a very unreliable boxy old Volvo. I really liked the...
  9. wrap your car in velvet?

    I think it looks cool and leather would too. Seems like it would not do well with dirt and bugs though.
  10. Gauging Interest

    There are few guys that do this in our area and do fairly well. They moonlight after hours so it is kind of hush hush. But if you are able to market this service I would think you could do well. Good luck you always need to reinvent yourself. My business model changes almost daily.
  11. Which landscaping logo?

    It's a shame I really like both of them and they are both very different. First one at a first glance but the second one is really cool
  12. Show me yours...lol

    I had one of those. Luckily it was a pic of a tattoo from a guy. His girlfriend wanted to get him a decal for the back of his car for Xmas. It was a basic tribal type thing so it was pretty ez to recreate.
  13. wrap video led to sales

    I should of mentioned the app I used for the stop motion is a free fully adjustable app called "lapse it" it is on android and apple. It takes a pic every so many seconds instead of video. After sleeping on it I'm thinking of offering this for all customers, maybe a extra fee. I can see...
  14. Hand held 3D printer

    I saw that the other day. I have no idea why but I want one bad. I'm really: interested in 3d technology, it's going to change things in ways we can't even imagine. Once they figure out ways to print different things as its printing like circuits and chips watch out.
  15. wrap video led to sales

    Colorado's recent video he made led me to just having fun with my phone. I really just made this for fun to show my fam and friends what I do for a living. I put it on Facebook this morning and so far have 2 people order if I make them a video like this. If you have a smart phone you can do it...
  16. Canvas Wrap Help Needed

    I have done them on various artist canvas type material and have them glued to foam board then framed. If your framing it no need to stretch it. No glass then have protection applied like described if it has glass then no need. Rich business owners will pay extremely well for pieces, usually...
  17. tablets... what are you using if you have one?

    I have a new Samsung tab, I love it mostly. My first android because of the price. But I always wish it was a apple product. I'm always having to adjust or tweak it. A iPad just runs so smooth in all my experiences. Android lets you do more but it forces you to do more. With a apple product I...

    Welcome from O'Fallon
  19. use to be sign installers

    totally safe
  20. Wrapping with calendered

    Take advise from professionals but always give the customer what they expect and can afford. Giving a customer what he is willing to pay for at correct pricing will not ruin any market. Ruining a market happens when you underbid. I personally would opt for cast, the small sq ft savings isn't...
