  1. Rant I've been a contributing member for 12 years and I can't post something for sale...?

    In his defense, he added it long after the original post. I thought m2m classifieds we're free too.
  2. 10x40 banner

    What about welt cord in the hem? What weight material is it?
  3. lamination and vinyl

    us peons get treated differently
  4. lamination and vinyl

    when it falls off in 6 months tell me how that refund goes. Ask the ones who have been around since the 80s how the Avery debacle went. I got 3 bad rolls of 3751, they had some dents running through the entire thing which looked like a manufacturing issue. First time, I ran the roll and...
  5. Best adhesive to attach polycarbonate sheets to PVC fence

    why not lay some sod or plant a hedge?
  6. lamination and vinyl

    I was talking about vinyl. It is the same way with paint, they will blame everything under the sun to weasel out of it. If you do manage to get them to warranty it, they will give you more material but you are out all of the labor time and consumables which is the biggest cost.
  7. Need Help Digitally Printing Reflective / Removal

    5 years later, the chances are probably pretty good that they did.
  8. Mounting Acrylic Letters - change of plans

    or use the standard S101 install method, VHB tape and lexel then blame the customer when they fall off the wall
  9. Mounting Acrylic Letters - change of plans

    Where there's a will there's a way. Before I got my fancy new tools, I used to cut a light straight line with a grinder, clamp it to the table, clamp a 2x4 to the other side and bend it. It brakes right on the score if you do it right.
  10. Mounting Acrylic Letters - change of plans

    a pan face to shim it out
  11. How much do you guys charge to replace sign bulbs that require a bucket truck?

    You may be right. I dunno how many battery chargers that my employees have burnt up by hooking them up to 24v, I have even drawn them a picture of how to do it right. Never underestimate stupidity
  12. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    just wait until construction slows down. All of these inspectors will have nothing to do with their time so the municipalities send them out everyday fishing for code violations. Fire marshall will be busy again catching up on inspections too.
  13. Paint acrylic and aluminum letters: where to start?

    They have been around forever. I use a small gun for touchup but customers want touch up paint and this is what I tell them to use if a brush wont work.
  14. Caddy van template

    Most of the pre-packaged templates that I have used are good enough for a full wrap but aren't accurate enough to pull a window recess or other elements from. If you plan to pre-cut and drop it in, you will have to make your own.
  15. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    I agree but would probably say the lack of people installing and the rise of independent installers is due to the headaches involved. All of the hoops you have to jump through today can make it a very losing proposition for a sign shop and there are easier ways to make money in the business...
  16. Mounting Acrylic Letters - change of plans

    I'd lean towards aluminum mounted with spacers or made into a pan like a raceway and painted black. You could get fancy and take a picture of the brick in that same spot, print it, stick it to the aluminum and then mount your letters.
  17. Is my pricing too high for printed vinyl?

    Sounds similar to jburton. It's almost a different business
  18. Head Light and Tail light Decals

    I think my idea was the best. No. You spent how long building that truck and you need this Friday? Sure thing.
