  1. Lintec clear window film? Need some help on this one...

    Hey folks - been quite a while. Thought I'd search the archives here and see if there was an answer, but I can't find one. I've got several panels of Lintec window film to install. This stuff doesn't have any adhesive. All of Lintec's bulletins and videos show an adhesive being sprayed onto the...

    Found these guys while looking for some square tubing. Thought their prices were exceptional. Placed my first order about 10 minutes ago, and thought I'd share. https://www.onlinemetals.com/index.cfm
  5. Well, I finally did it, and it's finally put together...

    I ordered my 4'x8' CNC about 6 weeks ago. The kit came about a month ago, but I have been buried and haven't had time to build the thing. Finally started on Friday. Finished it up today. Haven't attached the spindle yet, and one of the first thing I'm going to build is a vacuum table, but here...

  8. Vinyl zapper weirdness...

    Just started on a 116 vehicle fleet job (removal and relettering). Pretty big job for my little shop. The vans in the job (87 of them) are old Econoline's, and the current vinyl that is there has been on anywhere from 3-10 years. No worries, or so I thought. I'll just zap the old stuff off...

  10. Anyone else going to the 3D Sign Camp?

    Thought I'd see if any other 101'ers were going to Indiana Rob's 3D Sign Camp? I think I took the last open spot. Looks like an awesome 5 days! www.3dsigncamp.com Grandpa Dan is teaching there this year, so I couldn't allow myself to miss it...
  11. Zenbot 4848

    Well, after kicking it around for a year or more I think I am going to order an entry level CNC this week. I had pretty much settled on the Carvewright, even thgh many don't like it's limitations. I was ok with them as I have seen some SICK work come out of them. That said, the size limitations...
  12. Magnetic Dry Erase?

    Just had a school call and they are wanting to do the entire coach's office in dry erase (every wall surface in the room). I know I can just get the R-Tape dry erase and call it a day, but they are asking about it being magnetic also. I feel like I have seen a dry erase film that has...

  14. Need a vendor....

    I need to get my hands on some 8"x10" 3/16 acrylic blanks. Need at least 20 of them. Anyone have a vendor they recommend for this stuff? I used to use CustomCut to do this type of stuff but they sold to Harbor Sales and now the service is sketchy at best. Thanks folks!
  15. Work in progress...

    OK - working on a design ro a new tattoo shop here in town. What I have so far is two totally different directions - and I need some help in refining them down.

  17. Installation question

    I am going to be mounting a 3'x16' 3mm polymetal sign next week. It is an indoor install, and it is going on finished drywall. The issue is that the "studs" are those aluminum struts, and are narrow and not spaced appropriately to anchor to. My thinking is that I will use a combination of VHB...
  18. Gauging Interest

    As some of you are aware, I've been delving into a few different arenas, as the signage business in my area has been drying up a bit. A good friend of mine (who also owns a local shop) and I have started up a new entity doing nothing but graphic installation. Interior/Exterior, wraps, etc. The...

    After nearly 3 years the media holder (bar) finally got dropped with a full roll of banner material on it. Both of the collars (grey and black) broke. Anyone have a source where I can order new collars?
  20. One of those days...

    So, install crew this morning drops a 5'x10' face from 25' in the air - busts it all up - gotta re-do it. Get 20' into a 60' print run, look close and realize that there's a pretty basic misspelling (this was a wholesale job - so at least I'm not out the cost - just the time) Get a call...
