  1. What should I do?

    Seriously, have you contacted the landlord with your concerns? As far as I know, all states have a sexual offender registry, and offenders are required to report. It's online. We all make signs, or print graphics. We are not law enforcement or lawyers. Find out who he is (don't check his mail...
  2. What should I do?

    We need more details. Does he drive a plain white work van, or a Subaru? Have you checked his electric meter; is it spinning like crazy, even when he's not home? You are in Texas, it may be an abortion clinic. But since you are in Texas, you could show him your pistol, or just shoot the electric...
  3. Explaining longer lead times to repeat clients

    I've had an out gassing issue in the past, when lettering vinyl awnings. Sometimes it is actually best to read the directions. Now my awning guy knows to stretch it and wait 24 hrs before I letter. The under promise / over deliver deal was a huge reason the Chicago Bears were so dominate on...
  4. Adhering 4 mm Coroplast to large glass windows ?

    You do what you do. Just because a customer has a 'Brilliant Idea' in his mind doesn't make it brilliant.
  5. Screened printed Reflective vinyl on coro blanks

    Diamond Grade on Coraplast. That's like spending 3k for rims on a 74 Pinto, or leftover french fries with a fresh filet mignon. At least print it on aluminum or ACM.
  6. Chevrolet tailgate inlay

    So buy it on Amazon, (which is probably is small guy who specializes in this sort of thing) and sell it with a markup. I worked for a great salesman years ago (Mobile Homes), and first an foremost, qualify the customer. If he's not smart enough to buy it online, help him out.
  7. Thread tap acrylic

    Dip the studs in epoxy before screwing them into the letters.
  8. I remember..

    Gino, two push pins and a string.
  9. Q: Paint-able Vinyl

    d fleming, the Krylon for Plastic shows what I believe are polypropylene items on the can. If it will stick to polyprop, then it aught to dang near etch polyvinyl.
  10. Q: Paint-able Vinyl

    rjssigns, We drove 300 miles so Superfrog could show us how to spit water in the air to make the 'wet' look. What a dude he was. Had a blast that day and learned a lot. I used the wet technique and the crumbled marble for many years until the ink squirters came along.
  11. Best no parking sign

    Boudica, you rock.
  12. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Who is Mcdonalds? The drawing I saw was 8x15. Very first post!! And what the hell is a latte, maybe a new wave stringer for roofing? I can build that, have built similar and If you can't, go home, or just push go on the printer.
  13. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Come on Gino Keep up, he posted a drawing in the first post. 8' tall x 15' wide, And if the rest of you can't build this sign, move on. Go back to printing. The post he showed are too small, but with that corrected, who can't build this?
  14. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    McDonald Signs, Sweet work and great pics too. I'm impressed. I believe you could design and build a frame for this sign, same as me. The problem is the posts. Two post, 10"x 10", minimum. You can't buy them at Home Depot or Lowes. approprite1, google around for Pilings. You need to move...
  15. LED Neon Sign Success?

    neon bender, first of all, shout out to you for having the patience to learn tube bending. I never bent any glass (except for a tube into a rose vase while waiting on my glass to be ready back in the day). I did tube design, load calculations, and installation though, so I had been around glass...
  16. ok I really want to know...

    Hung giant flags inside a Crossfit gym a few years ago while Ricky Stienhouse Jr and Danica Patrick worked out with our local celebrity (Rich Froning: 4 time fittest man on the planet). Danica's kinda plain looking without makeup and she didn't look happy. I didn't tell my help till after we...
  17. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Show him this. If he can explain it you, will build it for him, lol. Sigma(allowable)=0.3*E/(L/d)**2 0.3*E/(L/d)**2=P/A =P/d**2 solve for d, d=5.26" ok use d=5.5 nominal dim checking normal stress; Sigma=P/A =30,000/(5.5)**2 =991 psi Seriously, I could...
  18. Billboard Cover

    RiXax, We do a steady amount of these and have for years. You can use any large format printer capable of sewing pole pockets. We get our ratchet straps from Billboard Solutions. We use EMT conduit for poles instead of PVC. PVC tends to bow with pressure and heat over time, or outright crack if...
  19. Rant Why does this always happen...................... ??

    Wife and I try to cook at home but then there is baseball, basketball, soccer, etc., fixing grandma's internet again, yada yada..., and we both just worked a fifty five hour week, or the HVAC is out and I fix everything. Wife usually fixes enough to serve 4-6 and we eat leftovers. We both love...
