Thank you for this! This looks like just the type of book we need! I realize that you can google/youtube specific installs, but some basic principles are so essential! Obviously doing this for many years, you learn a million ways to do things, but I was hoping to find some direct references...
Hi...we recently hired someone to start doing installations for us. Of course Signs 101 is a great resource, but I wondered if anyone had any recommended installation resources they could suggest.
For example: Books, particular companies websites (years ago Laminators, Inc. had put out a great...
I completely understand your viewpoint. However....there are a few factors that play into this:
1) where this building is located is within eyeshot to a mainroad and busy restaurant, so anything visual will help him. Also, the building is located in an otherwise shoddy looking area, so this...
Thanks! Yes..that is my fear too. It is a painted surface with not so deep mortar joints, so it should adhere pretty well. My thought is that since this business is just opening, if they can look at it like a marketing "tool", or marketing expense...that if it gives great impact, and gets...
I want to print on 3M IJ8624 textured wall film and use the recommended lam.
Our customer needs (5) 50"x99" panels applied on an exterior concrete (painted) building.
We live in New England and will obviously be subjected to all kinds of weather. The building will be in the direct sunlight...
I have ordered flags from a few different sources over the years. I am wondering if the general experience is that if the product is going to regularly be outside, in direct sunlight, they will just fade. Period. I've been told by one of the companies, it is the nature of the beast and a...
Wow. I did not know that there were that many issues with paint these days. That explains a lot, because I have never had this problem before (but it has been a while since I have had to apply direct on a wall.
I will give my customer the option to paint with enamel or to apply graphic to a...
That is true. I do not know that for sure, but it could be as recently as a couple of weeks, I will need to find out.
But in your opinion, do you think I should have trouble with a matte/flat finish?
I know this topic has been covered somewhat, and I think I know what has to be done, but before I make a firm decision I wonder if anyone has a better option.
My customer owns a gym. They constructed a big wall and wanted to put their logo on it. The logo area is approx. 3'h x 6'w, it is cut...
We are doing some remodeling of our barn. I have, for at least the 4th time, moved a bunch of leftover substrates. My husband has threatened me that this is "the last time" he moves anything! :omg::banghead:
Has anyone successfully done a "sale" of sorts to get rid of overstock? Wondering if...
Thank you! So far this has worked best! We have just begun...but I am hopeful!
Yes..there will be some prep time involved...but I am confident that we have priced all our time accordingly and then this lovely sign will breathe new life. Someone really did a fine job with this one and I'm...
Seriously. What is wrong with you people? Not one word was said about how much was being charged...be it in materials and/or labor.
Not one "cheap" was mentioned in my post.
The "kind of work I want"? yeah, give me all the **** work out there....I want to be miserable like the other sign...
Ha...I didn't realize what piece I picked up and snapped a photo of! Correct! Screws came out of one section easy. Other section not so easy so far.
It's a 14' long sign....LOTS more to remove!
Guitar string though! Perfect....have that!
I can not seem to find any threads directly about removing hdu letters so I will ask for your help.
I have a sign face made of 2" thick HDU. Attached to it are 1" HDU letters. I did not make the original sign, but we have been asked to reconfigure/remove some parts of the sign and put it on a...
Thank you Dan. I will spend some time looking at your content. I completely agree with you. So many on here are so negative. If what they say is true...then perhaps 75% of my followers will only click on my content when there is a cute kitty posted. But when the other 25% intelligent...
I think you have missed the point all. I am not only referring to layout...it xould be about colors/ branding / new products / different types of things I offer that some customers aren't aware of......and on and on the list can go. I'm probably not talking to those of you who see no point in...
