  1. Buying a Dimensional Sign Business

    We have 2 crossdraft booths. One 30' one 50'. If you have multiple colors, spread them out a little and throw a drop cloth over the stuff towards the front. Spray the back, then move forward. You'd be surprised but the over spray really doesn't hit the stuff on the backside and it lets you...
  2. Looking for laminator recommendation

    Like Boudica said, gang your prints and you won't have to swap laminates so much. It is also helpful to give yourself some lead time on orders so that you aren't always doing these one off runs.
  3. Thoughts on exterior sign specs?

    Theres something in the spec about vandal resistant so maybe they have had issues in the past? You probably should tap and screw in the letters per spec to at least keep kids from plucking the letters off
  4. Source for these style of exit signs?

    Explosion proof. It's a lighting fixture in a class 1 division 1 area. Everything has to be explosion proof meaning, the conduit and boxes can contain an explosion inside of the bodies without igniting the potentially explosive atmosphere that it is in. The conduits have seal offs to prevent...
  5. Todays school aged kids get gentle grades...

    I dunno, they look intimidating to me
  6. Todays school aged kids get gentle grades...

    I started in IB but dropped it after 2 years and took dual enrollment instead. Very few of my friends (who were mostly smarter than me) passed any of the IB tests so it was pretty much useless. I was 1 semester short of my AA when I graduated and they had to start from scratch. If it wasn't...
  7. Todays school aged kids get gentle grades...

    No, it's called a weighted GPA which accounts for the level of class you are in. An A in AP algebra is not the same as an A in remedial math. It has been like this for as long as I remember. If there is more than one valedictorian, which is not and has never been uncommon, then they earned...
  8. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    You're killin me here. I got another sandwich. Where's the cheese? I thought the legit philly cheesesteaks had yellow cheese wiz and no sauce/ketchup? Is that an imposter?
  9. Lettering enamel

    brush. If we fine line, Id just spray it with urethane
  10. Lettering enamel

    How does this stuff cover compared to original 1 shot? Can you lay a nice pinstripe in one stroke? I don't pinstripe but have always wondered how they get the opacity in 1 run
  11. Fun Situation.

    All this here sounds like a story of sour grapes. Still trying to figure out what part of this was charity with and $8400 order at 50% margin.
  12. I am new to laminating, I SUUUUCK AT IT , I mean really suck at it. Need a video, tutorial or some veteran hacks to get this right....

    Do it like this but tape the liner to the roll. Get 3 pieces of tape ready, start laminating and tape it to the take up when it gets there. If you get it straight (pull tension on the print and lam) before you drop the roller it will be straight everytime no matter how long. It's not really...
  13. Fun Situation.

    Good luck with that.
  14. Fun Situation.

    Maybe if the OP was humble to begin with then they would not have been threatened? Call your work charity but still charge for it? Fake outrage is annoying, they obviously wanted the job, paid for job, bid it to get it and the price included art. Now that the customer asked for files since...
  15. Fun Situation.

    It's not really donating if you got paid? We all eat parts of jobs, some of us all of the time, others hardly ever. Vectorizing another person's logo does not make it yours. You can't copy an authors book and claim that it's yours because you went and typed it all out yourself. Your half...

    I get it, that's what you like to eat. It's cool, just cut the crust off first
