kcollinsdesign. I agrre with you. I dubbed it the Wal-Mart effect about 15 years ago. Cheap stuff fast, the new American Way. About the only thing I paint these days are screw heads and brackets. I bid on very few jobs; most are repeat customers. When I do bid, it's custom for the job.

I very rarely am ask for samples. Thirty plus years in a small town, my rep precedes me. I do save certain install hardware elements. Short pieces of components in small boxes. I do a lot of one of a kind installs, (until they need it redone at another location, or next year), so saving these...

Tow behind. JGL350 a little better than 300 a day at Sunbelt.

Back to the question. Yes, you can, but it's not the right thing to do. My youngest daughter just bought a compact SUV. She asked the dealer if she could mount a trailer hitch on the car. He said, yes you can. And you can, but it voids the drive train warranty on the new ride. He didn't lie, but...

Poly-carbonate Sheet yellows after a few years, but is much 'tougher' than Acrylic. NASCAR windshields are made of Poly, and it would replace glass in all autos if it could be made not to yellow. It's tough stuff. Acrylic should stay white for many years, but will became brittle sooner than...

Seriously though, Gino's stacked and pressed drilling idea has been used many times around here.

I noticed 'Judy' is only 8 ounces, Maybe step up to the 'Janice' at 12 oz, or go bold and try the 'Jolene' at 16 ounces. We got a 2 lb sledge with a 6 inch handle for things like this. I call it 'My Little Pecker'. And yow, better use the grommets.

Gino, the first job I had in the business was for a man who had 15 letter-styles in his pocket and 15 more with a pencil. Yough, he could paint! I learned from him, but I could never "paint" like him. I chased lines: stopped on the tape. But we did have a Sheb Wooley pounce pattern from the...

And, SignosaurusRex, Don't be messing with my Waylon! "Cause Clyde plays electric bass, plays it with finesse and grace." "Sit on the front front porch, got no shoes, Clyde plays lectric blues." You are right thou, Unchained Melody, damn Waylon WTF?

This is what Signs101 should be for. Enough about printer problems and what;s that mother freakin' font, I want to know the meaning of rock-n-roll. It's "FU" back the way. Plain and simple. Every project has a sound track: Stop in the Name of Love' for 15 stop signs for a retirement community...

Back in the day there was an 'urban legend', if you will, about a 4b. Seems thieves robbed a sign shop for the tools and unable to pawn it, threw a 4b out on the side of the road. The next spring when the road department came though to mow, they discovered this 4b, weathered for a whole winter...

It's the Master with the long Grey beard in Kill Bill. He looks pissed.

Pole Sleeve. That sounds medieval.

Secure Against What?

Sorry rjsigns, I didn't read your whole post. Your are correct, masking tape does work rather well.

When applying graphics (cut or printed) you must account for the total length of the horizontal surface area, not just the length of the wall. I've attached a drawing of a common siding to help, yours appears to be different. Calculate the metal covered per one horizontal rib by running your...

Yeah, and I still know how to service neon, layout a panel with charcoal and use a pounce pad.

I'm old. I'm in. Don't paint but do have the drawings to make an adjustable easel.

If it don't look good in Black and White, then it'll look worse in color.

Damn, You sound like I was saying it myself. Keep up the good work!
