  1. Installing multi-piece display straight & aligned

    I've done a ton of these. If you're doing a lot of repetitive, equally spaced pieces, a jig is your friend. Determine ahead of time what the spacing will be and find something that dimension. If there's 1" or 2" between each one, find a 3' or 4' box level that has a 1" thickness or 2" height. A...
  2. Installer needed Hackettstown NJ

    Do they have something immediately pressing? I'm installing in Paramus in a couple of weeks.
  3. Vinyl install toolbox

    Yeah, They are, but they're built really well, can haul a lot of weight and they fold down flat which is a huge plus since I have limited space.
  4. Collapsible skid signs...

    Yeah, definitely getting into a bunch of extra time. I think it will hold up decently as is. I suppose I could have skipped mitering the end and left is square. That would have allowed me to use longer screws into the endgrain. These will be likely be up for some weeks, so I'll see how they...
  5. Vinyl install toolbox

    I use THIS for small jobs like door vinyl, etc. I use THIS for medium jobs that might require additional / more specialized tools. The above pouch clips to the outside rail. For larger jobs, I put the above rolling bag on my cart with the vinyl, ladder, sprayer, etc.
  6. Collapsible skid signs...

    Thanks!
  7. Collapsible skid signs...

    Don't shut up. I appreciate the input lol. I had to come up with the idea and build these quickly, so this is what I came up with. Everything is rock solid other than the mitered portion of the hinge. I like your idea but not sure about where the two hinges mate. What's thin enough and strong...
  8. Collapsible skid signs...

    I have a customer that puts these up and takes them down fairly often. They may need three put up or taken down in a given day, which, in the past, has meant handling and transporting six of the upside down ⅄ shape pieces. Those essentially take up 8' x 8' worth of space. Transport can be tricky...
  9. Installer needed in Odenton, MD.

    Well, COULD have helped you.....Just flew in and out of Baltimore for an install and had time to kill. Could have knocked this out for you....
  10. Ok, which one of you did this....................................................

    Domino's and a TON of other pizza places get their cheese from Leprino's. It's real cheese.
  11. Huh? Boy is now girl he/she?

    I wonder if that street L identifies as a coupler....
  12. Huh? Boy is now girl he/she?

    Boilerplate legalese meant to include both genders unless specifically indicated elsewhere....
  13. Frost material

    There's no reason to premask it. For spacing, use a laser or pieces of Gorilla or other thick tape cut to the 1.45" gap size. Butt your piece up to the tape. Vinyl install can be time consuming but what you're showing is pretty straightforward. There's no magic wand....you just have to do...
  14. Frost material

    You put up each piece and leave 1.45" between each one.
  15. Mounting a 40lb sign on Tile Backsplash with Standoffs

    1/2" diamond core bit, 3/16" Toggler Snap Toggles anchors, silicone washers between the tile and standoffs and you'll be fine. That's not that much weight/pressure once it's spread out between the 6 standoffs.
  16. Backlit, routed ACM

    Dallas. I've worked for and with some of the largest companies in the Country and it's commonly used.
  17. Backlit, routed ACM

    Aluminum would definitely be preferable. You can use VHB tape and Lexel (Lowes) or Dap UltraClear (Home Depot) to attach the polycarbonate to the back of the aluminum as well as the aluminum 'islands' to the polycarbonate. These are typically referred to as route-out show-through (ROST) faces...
  18. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    This isn't a result of anything you guys did. If something is going to happen to the vinyl like this, it's not going to take three years. It's going to happen pretty quickly. That being said, that's an insane amount of bubbles and apparently only on the darker portion (unless the letters are...
  19. Wayfinding Signage Abbreviations

    Pretty good chance I've worked with her....or at least the company she's with.
  20. Wayfinding Signage Abbreviations

    Just like eating an elephant....one bite at a time. Installing sign packages consisting of a few thousand signs is a fairly normal occurrence for me. I actually enjoy it as long as everyone involved has done their part of the job correctly. A bad GC, a Project Manager that is in over their...
