  1. I hate some people.....

    I am not a lawyer but I have stayed overnight someplace not as the holiday inn. I was repo-ing ans sign and the cops showed up. To make a long story short if its on the building it is their property and removing it is theft. Slap a lien on the property and take the wench to small claims...
  2. how does the "little guy" compete

    The race to the bottom is paved with heart ache and leads down the one way path to the out house. Trying to be cheapest is a quick way to failure. The stench of that business model will be around when you are moving up from wally world greeter to bagger. Good luck in the sign biz.

    Never heard of it. Maybe UL CL MET or another listing service and maybe even licensed electrician. Must be a brand thing. Inquiring minds want to know.

  10. aluminum welding

    we have 8 migs or so at the shop. 4 of them are inverter style which seems to be a bit better than a conventional machine. We also now have 2 push/pull machines that have the large spools of wire. all guns are by miller. We have 1 cheapy that is a 185 gun that has a curved nozzle for...

  14. Wireless electronic message board?

    DAK for sure sells direct to sporting and stadium type jobs. I also believe they have preffered installers and service companies. I think they have a nice product but am surprised they sell both wholesale and retail. We built a sign recently for another shop that had a watchfire unit in it...

  17. Need info on odd shaped cabinet sign

    Trim cap is designed for use with acrylic. They bond actually melts the 2 materials together. Using trimcap with polycarbonate requires glue or epoxy which in time will fail. Polycarbonate will yellow and look bad in a few years. As far as expansion goes its often overlooked and you can...
  18. Need info on odd shaped cabinet sign

    GG has it right. Trimcap is wrong for this application. The face is to large. Acrylic expands and contract 1 inch from freezing to 100 degrees for every 14 feet. I am not sure of the exact numbers for polycarbonate. Make sure the sign is UL Listed or CL in the case of Canada. If you dont...
  19. Channel Letters Partnership Models??!

    I hate to be a Richard Cranium but I guess the qualifications to be a merchant member is sending a check. I am assuming no pre screening is done to assure folks that are steered to merchant members on a daily basis.
  20. Low cost substrate for snowball stand sign

    Funny I pulled into get some fuel and tried the same plan out. I told them if the sell me diesel today for 1.00 per gallon today and I will send a check over later in the week. I also explained that I have more trucks that need fuel as well. I dont understand they did not go for it...
