Actually, I apologize on that sign we used IJ-180C vinyl. I had to go back and look.

IJ-35C and Scotchcal 8518

Unclebun, never thought about this but that makes good sense. Weyandsign the vinyl was IJ-35C and the laminate was Scotchcal 8518

Hey guys, I have an MDO sign with a large printed image on it made of 3m vinyl that is laminated. I clear-coated the sign with automotive clear and now (2 years later) the printed image is starting to develop tiny cracks under the clear. I know I recently read on one thread the best thing to...

Hi guys! Just wondering what you all are using as a primer for outdoor Palight PVC? I would prefer something that comes in a quart or gallon can instead of a spray can. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi I saw your post that you were now a reseller for the Qomolangma laminators. I have been looking at buying one off of eBay, as with any Chinese product I have some concerns but I will probably take a chance with them. Do you also help with after-sale service or do you send buyers to other...

I just checked out your website. Is this a print you all could do for me on a decent vinyl with a good laminate? I would be happy to work with you all if so!

This isn't for a wrap, it is a sign design I am creating and putting on ACM. Thanks for the response though!

Hey Guys, Question for you all. I have a small sign shop in WV and have an in-house cutter but have always outsourced my prints mainly due to space restrictions at my location. I have a wholesale supplier for my intermediate vinyl prints but not for my cast stuff. (if you know of anybody...

You will have to excuse my ignorance when it comes to clear coats and laminates, it is new territory for this die cut vinyl guy. Will basically any automotive high solids clear stick to the vinyl or is there a particular brand I should go after? I have sprayed frog juice to vinyl before so I'm...

Hey guys, I'm doing an ACM sign that will have cast Oracal vinyl and some real gold 22k stuff. I want the sign to last as long as possible since the 22k vinyl has a 15 year rating. Should I go with a liquid laminate like clear shield over the whole sign or a premium 3m overlaminate over it to...

I have been looking for the same type of thing but to hold inserts for an exterior sign where the client can slide different directions onto the main sign.

Sorry, I meant to say my concern with the aquacote is that since it is a water based paint is that i could have troubles with vinyl adhering

Has anybody painted and mdo sign with the Ronan Aquacote series and laid vinyl lettering over it? Particularly the aqua leaf series? As a rule i have always used oil base paints for my background to ensure the adhesion of my vinyl. I have used the Sherwin Williams industrial oil base for a...

Hey guys, I recently added palight outdoor pvc to my substrate portfolio and I really like the stuff. However, I wanted to check with you all and see what kind of paint you recommend using on it? I normally use industrial oil based paints on my MDO but I don't believe solvent paint would be...

Some valid points Z Signs. If you don't mind me asking how do you guys finish your bare aluminum posts? Do you paint or powder coat? And do you paint/powder coat in house or outsource? We live in a one horse town and have no metal suppliers inside of a 45 mile radius, but I could always go buy a...

Hey fellas, I'm doing some smaller max metal signs and I intend on using two treated 4x4's per sign and covering them with the vinyl sleeves. Now from what I have read on here most guys were saying that they buried the treated post and then went back and sleeved the above ground part only. My...

Thanks for the opinions fellas. For the record the structure holding the sign is very solid, solid enough that it would easily handle a swinging sign or a solid mount. I would not have installed it on a structure I didn't think could handle the sign. It was the sign itself I was debating whether...

Hey Fellas, I had a customer call me a few weeks ago specifically wanting a 4'x8' wooden sign to replace his current 4'x8' wooden sign that had broken in half after being up for 13 years. So I finished the sign and he decided he wanted me to install it (originally he said he would install it)...

Thanks so much for the reply I'm curious to know why you say not to use Max Metal? I might learn something from that comment haha.
