  1. Overlaminate without a laminator

    of you're DEFINITELY gonna screw some prints up, BTDT. In fact, probably at least enough to pay for a cheap cold laminator ;)
  2. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    you might be on to something there. I think even NASA uses gold wiring in spacecraft!
  3. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    ooh, I'ma be able to get a LOT of signs! ......er.....wait.....am I doing it right? :banghead:
  4. Wholesaler for clean detailed decals - anybody have a favorite source?

    jtill, not sure if you got this working or not but I did send you a related message ;)
  5. Overlaminate without a laminator

    Sure, I used a Big Squeegee for a while, and even made myself a second one. Not perfect, but works and doesn't take up any space at all.
  6. Best decision

    are you currently doing sublimation? if not, do you have the business lined up to support it? Do you understand the limitations of sublimation (polyester/light colors/etc)? What can sublimation do for you that the white toner printer can't already? the answers to those may help you make the...
  7. Faux cast bronze plaques

    is there still a market for this sort of thing? I've been playing with casting resins lately and that coupled with a CNC carving could be doable, using mica powders to metallize it.
  8. Humorous Decal I Designed

    maybe because it really wasn't all that funny anyway :rolleyes:
  9. Let's Build a DTF Printer (For as cheap as possible!)

    might be worth looking into a used/cheap infrared flash dryer from screen printing. That and some ACM or aluminum sheet could easily make you a decent inline oven. Maybe couple with a PID temperature controller of some sort. I like where this is heading.
  10. What's your favorite drill bit for ACM?

    I wound up finding a forstner bit in my kit that did a surprisingly good job of it. Did a stack of them with waste on the bottom and they came out great. Happy parts were delivered to happy client yesterday and a check was placed in my greedy paws. Win.
  11. What's your favorite drill bit for ACM?

    Thanks for that visual it helps a lot!
  12. What's your favorite drill bit for ACM?

    Let me ask you a couple questions about it - I'm going to be putting the holes in 2 corners. My plan WAS to set up a 2-sided, right angle fence on my drill press and just shove the piece into the corner of that block, drop the hole, flip over for the second one and then move on to the next one...
  13. What's your favorite drill bit for ACM?

    Just what the title says. I couldn't find a consensus with the (lousy) search feature here. Gotta put some 3/16" holes in the corners of a bunch of small ACM "plaques" to hang on a big sponsor board, so don't really want something that's going to make me have to de-burr all the holes if I can...
  14. Vinyl for "fence pad"

    What about a printed HTV vinyl? One could use an iron in place of a heat press, though it may be hard to get enough pressure
