  1. Directory substrate

    The large red rule doesn't look like vinyl. It looks like a thinner thickness of the same material adhered to the backer. I think you'll need to figure out how the whole thing was fastened to the wall. I don't see any fasteners, but if that whole sign is pvc or some variation of that, it's...
  2. If you're doing this full time*

    Why not send them to your sister ?
  3. Freelance SIGN design work

    Might help to see some of your work to spark some interest.
  4. Not sure how to title this

    A friend of mine has a grandson and he shows talents in the design field both on the computer and by hand I know he doesn't want to come in to dig holes and put up signs. I don't want to hire him to play at a computer, nor do I want to pay him for that. I'm trying to let him down easy, but I'd...
  5. Can it be fixed?

    I don't do much in the way of wraps, but in the beginning days of doing them it looks like when I didn't apply enough heat while doing it and afterwards. It looks like improper technique.
  6. Question Best Transfer Tape for Oracal 651?

    It's been my experience that when the tape doesn't come off the backer properly, it's time to change the blade. Many times as the blade gets older and you put more down pressure on the blade, the knife tends to cut into the backer a bit and makes the vinyl somewhat adhere itself to the edges...
  7. New Guy 25 years later I’m back!

    I didn't know this site was around that long? I know I haven't been, but welcome back.
  8. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I've often traded/bartered things over the years. Both parties always felt like they made out in the deal. The main difference is how you go about it. To legally barter, you must treat it as a cash sale and report the sales tax and all of your other expenses and report it on your taxes...
  9. Sign Installation Pricing

    The way I understand it here in Penna. is that if you're going to be up in the air, installing boards of any material, and especially if you're going to need equipment like ladders, scaffolding or a lift you need to have insurance to cover you and if you aren't you're not supposed to be doing...
  10. Discussion Boudica...................................

    Just happened across this song while eating lunch and thought it was amazing. As it goes on, he gets deeper and deeper and then suddenly :awesome: Sounds of Silence
  11. Inflation

    Inflation. I choose not to participate. I do my thing and just price accordingly.
  12. To Mask or not to Mask

    Hinge it with 2 pieces of tape down the middle and slowly pull the backing away from one end and stop at the hinge, remove it and then continue to pull the backer away. All with a felt/soft squeegee.
  13. Bubbling vinyl?

    I believe it's just the wrong vinyl being used and lousy technique applying it.
  14. Truck Lettering Pricing

    I don't normally do this kind of thing, but that looks to be between $500 and $600. The buckets in the back are free.
  15. Substrate options for 10 foot outdoor sign

    I'm not sure I could talk somebody from a painted wooden sign into a piece of cloth or flex face material. Moving a whole church committee will be tough under those circumstances.
  16. How to trim down a 33-foot-long banner?

    It doesn't sound as if you're equipped physically or mentally to furnish this kind of a job. Find someone to farm it out to. Also, a 33' banner should have a hem and lots more grommets.
  17. Roof mounted sign letters

    I generally steer away from these kind of jobs. Too many holes will be needed to make the sign secure and you can many times figure the owner will blame you for any leaks in the future.
