Cut vinyl on prepainted aluminum sheet will work just fine in freshwater. May need cleaning occasionally from algae or silt buildup, but I've pulled years old signs from along river beds & banks and they were weathering just fine. I did urine discharge measurement labels for the inside of the...

Industry Standard. Big words Gino, I like it.

Hey Dan, I've owned a couple of your books and still have one on the shelf (shop fire you know) and I have read many, many of your articles in SignCraft. Thanks for the advice, insight & instruction.

Sub it out. Unless you have a vinyl banner heat welder. One piece all the way. Rope will work great.

That's what sign people do, solve customer problems. Good work gnubler.

Looks good. The only thing I noticed was with the wear on the white, the red would have faded to a dull pink by then. Still, great work.

Just wait til you get old. I wear a splint on my bone on bone wrist just to squeegee these days. It hurts!

Z SIGNS, tell us how.

When he first start it's 'Joe's PLUMBING'. When Joe builds a solid following, it's 'JOE'S Plumbing'. There are multitudes of business that have succeeded with odd names. What the hell is a Pepsi, a Coors or a Budweiser, or a Kroger, an Aldi or a Piggly Wiggly? A Starbucks? A Kohl's? A DeWalt...

Sounds like you are in a great situation. First: it's not just print. It sounds closer to a real sign shop. Second: existing customers. (I've been doing this a long time, I don't bid anymore). Third: a full year of mentorship, priceless.

It's not a design problem as those might be too numerous to list, but instead a fab problem. I don't have a photo handy since it was in the early 90's but, I witnessed this production-fabrication screw up of a neon lit channel letter set that was mounted on a modern day country store until the...

Overhead lights get blocked by tall vehicles in bay. For the install bay, I have linear lighting around the wall at 100" tall. Eight foot clearance below so they don't get hit by a 4x8 panel or a step ladder.

GaSouthpaw offered good advise. A fellow signman once told me he loved his new designers work, but everything he drew was 49" tall. Meaning he had no concept of how to build what he designed. I have acquired and still add to a folder containing such useful information as building material...

I'm running a VM (Virtual Machine) on my Win7 Pro for an old PS 6.0 program. It was hair pulling to set up, but no subscription for the four or five times a month I actually need PS.

Polycarbonate at 1/8" would be 49 lbs. 3/16" would be 74 lbs. If your bucket is steel tube it's fairly easy to rig a jib using 2"x4"s. Only remove top and one side of retainer. Poly will bend plenty to attach hanger bar across top using c clamps or as I prefer vise clamps. IF it were 1/8" I'd...

Your 20' will turn out to be 24' or more with the corrugation. I agree with damon CA21, flat panels are the way to go.

Free samples and Gino's response is positive. It's all good.

Every good sign truck I've ever commandeered has at least 3 spoons, 2 forks, a spork, a few straws (work great to blow shavings and dust away from a hole while drilling) and a couple packs of room temperature of Duke's mayonnaise packets stashed away in the console. How do you eat without these...

It was a harrowing and stressful few days, but I managed to create a virtual OS (XP) in Win7 pro to run an old Photoshop program. Something to consider.

Haven't you heard, the climate is all fake. Because if you can't understand the science, then you can't explain it.
