  1. What's your favorite way of doing rivets? Poll

    I know, old thread, but we once did a couple dozen Cessnas for a local flight school, rivets everywhere. Cast metallic film. We eventually came up with this method and really flew - quick and violent rivet brush to compress the air into one tight bubble against the rivet. Heat it quickly...

    Well thank you sooo much for your opinions :p

    I'm in SW Michigan. Here's a rough draft of the file.

  5. 6mm sintra routed

    I'm looking for someone to cut 30 simple paw prints about a foot square from 6mm Sintra. Edit: no I'm not supplying the sheet of Sintra :-P
  6. Need Help Floor graphic calamity

    So an unfortunate update - I found another 3M product called Resilient Floor protection that's designed for laminate flooring, but it says this: "Scotchgard™ Resilient Floor Protector is compatible with conventional floor finish and may be used as a top coat" so I called 3M, thinking that...

    Two points to clarify here - There IS stone floor protectant down already. We did an isopropyl wipe test, had good initial tack, and went ahead. I am the one who messed up here. A few days before the install I sent over info about waxing the graphics after install, and the janitor replied...

    Unfortunately the school system contracts out all buildings to a third party. Wax requires regular upkeep and they don't even have a buffer on site. Here's the floor, terrazo it is -

    At this point there is no Stone Protector on the graphics, and we did an isopropyl wipe before appyling that seemed to remove the protector from under the graphics. Indeed. Happy Halloween!

    The consensus from 3M and the janitorial staff is that it's too thin to do any good. "may peel up on the edges with out the addition material from the wax to bridge from the floor to the graphic" says 3M support

    Gino, I hear ya - I'm not expecting them to inherit the problem. I'm trying to work with the principal so that we can prolong the life of these as much as possible. She really wants to keep the paws she has and obviously I'm hoping to avoid pulling up, eating, and replacing 1100 paws.

    A local elementary school wanted paw prints in their halls. I went with a long term removable vinyl with a textured floor graphic overlaminate. I told the (brand new) principal that after they were installed they would need several coats of wax if they're going to survive the school year (this...
  13. Discussion So, how many are gonna...............................

    I think you're off the mark here - if you work for me, and you're on the clock installing a sign in a public space, I can fire you for telling passers by that I'm an aѕѕhole, or for insisting on wearing a shirt that says "Don't fuсk with Mr. Zero", etc.
  14. Discussion So, how many are gonna...............................

    Taking this question at face value, what would you consider "the same flavor" at the fast food joint? The kneeling does not at all delay the onset of the product (the game), is silent, is easy to ignore and is over before the game starts. So I'm thinking black armbands maybe, or a pin on their...
  15. Discussion So, how many are gonna...............................

    Gino, I am in favor of this stoopid stunt, because I think that the issues being protested are of vital importance to the future of our nation, and are important enough to violate the sense of decorum here in order to bring attention to said issues. I am not okay with desecration. Desecration...
  16. Suggestions Outdoor Durable Brushed Aluminum/Silver ACM

    Might be a dumb idea, but could you laminate it?
  17. Question What material to attach vinyl too?

    Well friend you need to do some research here. How much do you want to spend? How long do you want it to last? How big is it going to be? Does it need to span? Is there a specific reason why wood won't work? Start by looking at DiBond/Alupanel, Alumalite, aluminum, and Sintra...
