  1. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    I don't know what happened with the phone numbers. Neither one went through. Maybe the "insane" freight charges were because I do not have an account? I was wanting to ask if we could drive there and pick the orders up. We do that with Grimco. Here's my order. If I spend almost $500, I...
  2. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    I don't know what happened, then, cause we called both of those numbers. One said it wasn't working, and the other didn't go through at all. I guess we'll try again next week. P.S. Does anyone know if they allow pick-up? Freight charges are insane, and we're only about 100 miles away from...
  3. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    I just tried to contact Harbor, and the phone number isn't working....do I have the right place? Do you have a link to their website? TIA
  4. What adhesive will work on vinyl to painted wood

    We repainted the board. The spray enamel paint has allowed the vinyl to stick. We are battling the elements! It's rainy and humid...we don't usually work on stuff this big, and we had to do it outdoors, so that exacerbated our problems. Also, under a time crunch, as we are trying to get...
  5. What adhesive will work on vinyl to painted wood

    Well, we bought more paint. Enamel, spray paint, believe it or not and it worked! I would have tried to GLUE the letters on without the suggestion from signage that it was the paint. Thank you.
  6. What adhesive will work on vinyl to painted wood

    Yeah, I hear ya. It’s just a plain old sheet of plywood. Turns out I think it was INDOOR paint. We are going to try to repaint it this afternoon, or lightly sand it. In our little town we weren’t able to find another can of paint today. Sounds weird, I know, but true! We’ll see what...
  7. What adhesive will work on vinyl to painted wood

    Uh oh! If it’s the paint, it’s too late to repaint it. Thank you for the reply.
  8. What adhesive will work on vinyl to painted wood

    The issue is that it has been raining and very humid. Cool, but not overly cold (we’re in FL). We got the raw wood painted but now the vinyl won’t stick. Is there a glue that won’t corrode the vinyl? Or would we be better off taking the sign to an environmentally friendly place and try again?
  9. Need Help HELP: Roland sold me a defective printer and I lost $750,000

    After reading your tale, it seems like the sales dept. did one heck of a sales job on you, convincing you that the "new" one you would buy and add attachments to would NOT be as bad as the floor model you were using at their place! I think I would have walked away at that point. Having said...
  10. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    Above two posts are exactly where my thinking is! Yes, this is the majority of what we do, but not on a scale such as this, so it's hard to just price it out based on "a roll of vinyl," etc., as there will be tons of time involved. I do want to cut them all the same width, to allow for easy...
  11. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    My concern for buying from a company I've never used before is that I don't know the quality of materials they will use. I don't want to give a guarantee without being familiar with the product. That WOULD be the easier way, tho!
  12. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    Well, my estimate for 30" - since that's as wide as our plotter will cut - and 60 yards (if my math is correct). Somewhere in the neighborhood of $1600 to purchase just the vinyl. There is the mask needed, blades, time, etc. to figure in, too. And shipping costs.
  13. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    Yes, we are supplying 300 of each no. individually cut, weeded, masked, ready to apply. Highest quality vinyl, since it will be in AZ sun!
  14. What Price for Vinyl Only?

    We have an opportunity to bid on a fleet of trucks, renumbering them all. We will NOT be doing the install, only cutting/weeding sending them the numbers. Obviously, outdoors, we will use premium vinyl, like 3M, etc. to insure they last. Numbers are 2 - 3 inches high (hasn't been determined...
  15. Beware of Suppliers in Indonesia

    GOOD ADVICE! Thank you. Years ago, I bought some merchandise from a wholesaler in the Netherlands. Shortly after that, my bank account was HACKED and several hundred taken out before we caught it. I never found out if it was from that co., but the bank was able to reimburse us, and after...
