  1. What should I learn from this?

    Gino, FWIW, a guy from Texas told me you can use it to clean your corn hole so it can't be that bad. I used to strip tint with straight ammonia, nasty crap.
  2. What should I learn from this?

    Glass cleaner is pretty commonly used for automotive paint prep, there is nothing wrong with it and it is cheap. The $1 at Family Dollar works just as well as any other brands
  3. What should I learn from this?

    If the customer is fine with it then I don't see a problem. I wouldn't redo it just for the sake of redoing it if they were fine with it. Just be honest and tell them why you aren't happy with your work and what may (or may not) happen. Offer to fix it if it fails or if they decide they don't...
  4. Substrate question

    We do work for an LED lighting manufacturer. They told me that there are no domestic producers of LED chips. China does the smart work and we do the dumb work, kind of a shame. Gino, bebond might be their low end but I'd guarantee that all of the ACM comes from 1 or 2 manufacturers in China...

  6. What should I learn from this?

    I have used calandared on box trucks. Not arguing the merits but it can work and last. If nothing else, get a rivet brush and watch some YouTube videos. As far as the layout, it'd take you 5 mins to throw something together and offer it to the customer. Not everyone is willing to do that but...
  7. What should I learn from this?

    Wash it better and I would never wet apply over rivets. I have had plenty of rivets look like that when I don't take my time, even with cast. My assumption is that you just squashed them down rather than use heat? Now, you are worried about the install? What about that layout and font...
  8. Substrate question

    We ship most of our signs so we only strip 1 side. I've had a few customers comment that they don't like how the back of our signs look.
  9. Substrate question

    This could be in my head but the thin skin seems to bend easier when handling it and dents more from the hold down in my shear. It feels chinsy too, the .2 bebond is noticeably heavier than the maxmetal with the .15 skins. The one time I got cheap single sided crap for some throw away signs it...
  10. Substrate question

    .2 skin at glantz is $64 I think and maxmetal with .15 around $54 if you buy a few sheets. I like the bebond better even though it costs a little more

  17. Input on choosing a new printer

    I didn't say that I expect a company to do that but they produce proprietary consumables and do not allow aftermarket production where many other companies do. Let's say that Toyota decided that they were going to patent a mounting system for their rims/tires and make them out of a high density...
  18. Input on choosing a new printer

    I must disagree because the HP is based around a bunch of consumable parts with no aftermarket support. If nothing else they should open their obsolete components to aftermarket production once they end support. No other printers are this way. Not making hard parts after a certain period of...
