  1. Light boxes / LED Channel letters & UL

    Permits are not hinged on UL labels, but our inspectors always check for UL label if they are on site. They want to see that sticker/label but they don't even check number... seen it myself.
  2. Light boxes / LED Channel letters & UL

    Yup, that what i was talking about. That is why we had to get new certification for light box that we removed old tubes & installed all new LED lights. I just had hard time to explain to him that even if parts are UL listed, it does not make can/channel letter assembly UL listed. P.S. So i am...
  3. Light boxes / LED Channel letters & UL

    I am just going by my own experience. Once we refubrished the box, gutted old tubes ballasts etc & installed LED lights, we had to get it certified again. All i am asking - If some one takes a box/channel letter & installed UL listed electric components in it, i think it is still not legal to...
  4. Light boxes / LED Channel letters & UL

    I had discussion with one of my new customers, he is an electrician. He did some electrical work for friend of mine, specifically wired a light box, with was manufactured by a welding shop. He claims that as long as he is using UL ir CSA listed parts its all legal etc & does not have to be...

  7. Employees Are The Worst

    I totally agree with your points. That i why most of us are working 10+ days :) His business was pretty big for our small city. He had his own logging company + trucking company that was operating Canada + US + Mexico. He wrapped up in 2007 because as he said "I had enough i wanted to see my...
  8. Employees Are The Worst

    Whole picture sucks. I did not have that much experience going through that many employees but i had 5 employees since i started in 2010. I always paid them quiet a bit above minimum wage. Can't say that all of them were bad, but there is simple explanation - It is not their business, they will...
  9. By Appointment Only

    I will be home based June 1st. Losing store front after 7 years. I am actually excited about it! Will not miss tire kickers/time wasters etc. All my regulars do not care if i do have store front or not. Also, most of my new clients do not even stop by at the shop some times, everything is done...
  10. Question Should I Put An Edge Cap On This?

    I never wrap the edges... for some reason i don't think its going to hold for a long time. Much easier for water & crap to get in & it will start peeling... but maybe its just me
  11. Universal Pls 4.75 50watt Value

    yeah, i was wondering about the price :) Talked to one of my equipment dealers who sells GCC lasers, he said they are pretty close in prices etc. So he said new one with these specs go for 25k Canadian dollars right now. Told me i should ask 16k or if i want to sell it fast, 12k CAD
  12. I Hate This Customer

    If you do not want them, they always are welcome in Canada!!! At least or dumb PM sent that message out... Canada already turned into crap. I am thinking of moving to North Carolina in 2020
  13. Universal Pls 4.75 50watt Value

    Thinking of getting rid of my PLS 4.75 50 watt laser with exhaust fan. Bought it 3 years ago, but almost never used it. Maybe have total of 48 hours on it. Just wondering what would be reasonable to ask for it?
  14. Rgb Vinyl Printers

    If i do original design, i always do RGB since my Roland prints MUCH richer colors using RGB. I tried bazillion combinations but RGB was always better than CMYK. Different story if i get already designed logo/artwork in CMYK - then i do everything in CMYK mode.
  15. What Size To Buy?

    54" is way better investment compare to 30". For brand - whatever you prefer. Most of us are sticking with a brand that works for us from day one. For me, its Roland machines, for some one else - Mutoh or HP. P.S. Sorry, but had a laugh when i seen: 1) Name: Katie 2) Topic name: What size to...
