i don't get a TON of scraps but i use those larger pieces as protection on items i have to ship or deliver flat that can't be rolled

not sure why they want to wrap it either but apparently their customer is concerned with the surrounding buildings looking at the unit up on the roof (like there is nothing else up there that is hard on the eye???) so they are going to use a sky graphic and wrap it...hey what ever they want to...

i am quoting a job to wrap a generator that will be installed on top of a sky scrapper in the city. customer is worried about it getting damaged while it's being hoisted to the top and i don't think it's a good idea to wrap it on top of a building that high (also having trouble finding workers...

i just went to lowes and found one that worked best for me. i actually have two, one is smaller and has a clip i hook to the small pocket of my jeans the other is larger with a belt and i just use them according to the job they work best with. i think between the two of them i spent $20 or $25

hi tack vinyl that sh#* sticks to anything. arlon pdf 8000, avery-hi-tack i think all brands have a version of it

i don't use corel but can't you save as an eps or pdf. as far as i know you need a spot color with in your file with the metallic (or white) color swatch for versawork to read it and print what you want.

it's pretty cool so far Gene. ours runs off compressed air, we have a whole filter system set up for it. the software is laserlink. just starting to get familiar with it, really don't know a whole lot yet. figured i see who else had a laser in case we need some advise. we are cutting 5/8 plywood...

don't know about canada but N. glantz and harbor sale both have it

we just got a coherent metabeam laser. just wondering if anyone on here has a laser? didn't see a laser section in the forum. don't need any help...YET but i am sure there will be questions and issues along the way.

the customer is a friend of mine and has given me a few jobs so trying to help him out. the guy doing the detailing quoted him like $600 to remove the lettering when i can remove it with my vinyl zapper in a couple hours for $200

got a box truck job, have to remove the old lettering and clean it up but the customer wants to have it detailed afterwards before i letter it. the truck has some small cosmetic things he wants to spruce up before we re-letter it. some scratches, a little rust around the rivets on the back door...

haven't done that before but i think you have two options, a seam with an over lap or just heat and stretch the right amount right over. you may have some trial and error to go through but once you get the right combo of stretch and heat you should be ok. just don't be real aggressive with it...

this is the proper and best way to do it if you can take it apart and remove it but not as easy as it sounds. either way if you go over with one piece of vinyl and work it in to the area you have to cut you should be able to run a razor knife or xacto knife around the edge and get it pretty spot...

i have vending customer and do this all the time. i have done it both ways. so far the best is to put on one sheet and cut out as you go along. sometimes when you pre cut with the plotter the vinyl will stretch and the holes are off.

that technique also works good for weeding sheets of labels/decals. the laminator holds the sheet down and you can weed with two hands. one to pull the scrap vinyl and one to maneuver and push the labels back down.

peel about an inch or two of the mask back then put the vinyl in your laminator (assuming you have a laminator) then insert the vinyl in the laminator and slowly pull the mask off away from the laminator. the laminator will hold it tight and flat.

any possibility the shipping company screwed up the original box and tried to re-pack it? i have see that happen before. maybe a combo of bad shipping from the manufacturer and the shipping company. either way that sucks
