Thanks everyone for the replies. I will try some compound or the mentioned Back-to-Black product and see what happens. The customer has also implied that rather than replacing the step board that he would be interested in a store credit (his idea-not mine). We will certainly be more careful with...
Ever feel like there are customers that are just problems all around? From the get go, we had issues on both ends of this transaction, employee didn't respond timely to the customer so he was impatient with us, then nit-picked every little thing along the way. Then, after he picked up his...
I found the material in 60" x 144" sheets available from our local metal vendor. Thanks for posting the information and photos, it will be helpful. I am working on two different jobs using this material, coincidentally. One thing that I have wondered is if the surface rust/runoff will stain...
Found an answer to my question, no need to find the steel pre-patinated as there is a process of using peroxide/salt/vinegar to actually accelerate the process to just a few days, will probably be going this route.
Bidding on a project with a stupid-tight deadline for both the bid submittal and production timeline (aren't they all?) and the client has specifically requested pre-patinated / pre-weathered corten steel (example photo attached). Size of the piece needed is approximately 144" x 56" 3/16" thick...
So, we've already done 2 of these buses in the past. And probably the most difficult area for us has been the front of the bus, just above the windshield. There are many curves in a very tight and difficult to reach area, just wondering if anyone else would be willing to share their...
OR....... offer a better product and you won't have to use junk t-shirts with cheap printing to turn a profit. It has never been my goal to sell for less than the other guys, and so far it has paid off. I would rather be better, not cheaper, but that's just me. Granted, this will depend on the...
Coming from someone who operates a medium-sized sign shop, we also have a full screen printing custom apparel department that keeps 2 full-time employees busy every day, it is a CUT-THROAT business to say the least. As mentioned above, there is always some hack in a garage/basement picking off...
I checked out that link, doesn't look like a film we could cut in a plotter? We need to cut out a logo (somewhat detailed) and burn this into the wood. If the logo were really simple, we could probably use this and just apply the tape around the logo, but I'm pretty sure we will need to cut on a...
Looking for a recommendation of a material that could be used to create a negative of an image, applied to raw wood, and we would use a torch to burn the image into the wood? We have tried a couple of samples using some hartco sandblast resist, but the high heat melts the adhesive and looks like...
