  1. Okay, I think I have a winner here..................................................................................

    I had a guy come in last month who ordered snowmobile sign decals for his club. He was a real jerk when he ordered them, but I'm friends with the president of the club so I suffered through it. He came to pick them up and I said I had already given them to the president, who also paid for them...
  2. Easymount hot and cold laminator

    The OP has dried glue spots on his rollers, it didn't appear to be grease.
  3. Overcoming hurdles

    I have to agree with Uncle Bun on this one. I have Corel, I've used Illy but I stick with LXI/Flexi - it's super easy to use. I just haven't spent the time to learn Corel like I should but LXI has you up and running within minutes. For file types, there are a lot of posts in this site on those...
  4. Easymount hot and cold laminator

    Those rollers look very familiar. I have a chip in one of my rollers left of center. It creates a small bubble that I press out with my finger - and then it's 100% gone - yes, when I have an 8' section there's like 4 spots to press out - not a big deal. The glue part, I would try and remove it...
  5. Cutting core tubes?

    Last time I cut them for my fire pit I used a sawzall. I had some sitting by the door one Friday and some lady came in asking about a shirt or something. She asked what I was doing with them. I said burning them. She got visibly upset and told me I should be recycling them. I said, I am...
  6. Removing Decals...anyone use these Brothers chemicals?

    OK thanks all! I think that's enough evidence for me not to try them.
  7. Best way to re-do this wrap

    What those guys said up there. I found it useful for the straight edges but nothing more. I've used it on car doors but it's hard to get it straight and I have found a flexible type ruler to be easier. I've gotten pretty good at free handing but if you cut a bit too much then we all know what...
  8. Removing Decals...anyone use these Brothers chemicals?

    Just got this email from Fellers. Ghost Off and Reflective Off? Anyone tried these products and do they work? Just curious since these are common questions on the forum.
  9. How to explain outsourcing?

    Evan - I've used that exact line and it always ends with me making the business cards LOL Now, I only do cards for people who have done a good amount of business with me and if it's a quicky card.
  10. What? In order for me to do some work for you, you want to have the option to audit my business expenses of the job!

    I would tell them to take a hike. The most I would do is itemize the estimate/invoice.
  11. News Save $ on JetBest Ink

    I've tried Amazon ink a couple times in my cheap desk printer and after a couple cartridges it got clogged. I've been leery ever since to try anything besides name brand inks.
  12. Customers in production areas

    I have more issues with my parking lot. I'm on the corner and one street has an opening and it goes past my shop and another opening on the other street. In summer I letter stuff outside and this summer 3 times I had to jerk back behind a truck and twice a trailer because a speeder came blasting...
  13. Customers in production areas

    Shop looks great Gnubler!!! Love the black and red look, looks very sharp!
  14. How to explain outsourcing?

    Signheremd's answer renders me speechless - perfect! I used to say something like that before I had my printer (but not as good lol). It did open up the conversation where I would say a printer and laminator are very expensive pieces of equipment and it takes some time to do research into which...
  15. Wood!

    Very cool! The simplicity of the old days before all this computer non-sense
  16. Wood!

    Geez, I don't think I would have been a sign maker back then lol
  17. Wood!

    He's got a steady hand, that's for sure. MS paint. Nice. This project seems way too time consuming. I've never seen a scroll saw in action...I see the blade is a circle band, interesting! I see the 150 year old saw - that is cool! How many hours do you think this sign took? He must have...
  18. bubbles on plexi

    In the meantime, you can use a spray bottle of water and add 3-4 drops of Dawn dish soap. I have been using that for many years. I have not used baby shampoo but if JBurton uses it then it works also.
  19. equity and the upper crust, this cant end up well

    After wasting 10 minutes of my time, here is a link from the NY Times which shows the photo credited to Sam Brintons Instagram page, which is now listed as private. It was taken at the French Ambassadors Bastille Day celebration. Russia didn't get the memo on pronouns. The below screen shot is...
  20. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    I'm a member of the chamber but got turned off early on. Myself and a handful of other businesses are on the outskirts of town on what is called "the truck route". Well, the downtown people feel "sorry for us" that we "can't" participate in all the downtown chamber activities. Always trying to...
