  1. Need recommendations on a stand

    I would just make one. You can use 2x4's and get a piece of scrap countertop at your local big box store. Or check marketplace for "counters or bars" for sale. Someone is always selling something cheap.
  2. Anyone recognize this font?

    Is it possible they used 2 fonts?
  3. Removing Adhesive Residue from Aluminum

    What Ikarasu said. Much easier to go over it if you can but the rapid remover works good. Have you tried the Zapper wheel or 3M remover wheel?
  4. We’re lovin’ Arlon’s SLX Plus vinyl

    I also switch to the SLX+, I love it!!! Interesting about the GF, I may have to give that a try. I do like their regular vinyl quite a bit. Anyone else try the 830?
  5. Latex Printer in apartment?

    You're lucky your local dump takes it! Mine won't, they only take household items and only small amounts at a time. It's run by the Soup Nazi. If you think you are dumping off more than a punched hole of drywall...NO DUMPING FOR YOU! More than a chair? NO DUMPING FOR YOU! Branches are more than...
  6. Large graphics single person install

    I never watched that movie but it's on my list
  7. Latex Printer in apartment?

    My shop looks like that sometimes also. My back room is a disaster. I work plenty of 12+ hour days and the last thing I want to do is break down cardboard. I'm kind of a cardboard and garbage bag hoarder, oh well. It will slow down soon so I know I'll have time to take care of it LOL I try and...
  8. Latex Printer in apartment?

    I'm not sure if all of that was for me? Yes - the $1000 is nothing compared to the printer but just another thing he needs to think about. I have central air in my shop and a humidifier. If I know my printer is running all day I set my thermostat lower and open the windows. My printer is in an...
  9. Large graphics single person install

    Just got done using the 48" Big Squeegee on a 5x10 signboard on a building 10' in the air. There were screws only on the top and bottom so center hinge and up and down...WORKED LIKE A DREAM! The landlord is a jerk and said the tenant can ONLY put new vinyl over the old vinyl. Cannot remove or...
  10. Latex Printer in apartment?

    Apparently, the OP got scared off...lol
  11. Snow stake cover/driveway markers

    I would order them out add XX% and be done. Banner material will probably work but are you going to sew them yourself or do you have someone to do it for you? Asking for a friend. And I'm 100% sure if my biggest customer saw these...I'd be making them too. In addition to all his trucks and...
  12. Latex Printer in apartment?

    Ikarasu makes a good point...can you start with outsourcing for now and see how that goes? I guess we don't know what you are currently doing now.
  13. Latex Printer in apartment?

    OOPS The thing I know for sure is you can't just plug it a regular wall outlet, details...schmetails...whatever you guys say is probably right LOL
  14. Latex Printer in apartment?

    The power requirements will stop you in your tracks. I just bought a 315 last year and needed to have my service upgraded to 200amp. It needs 2-200amp outlets which is something an electrician is required to do and you would need permission from the apartment building owner or association. I had...
  15. $1000 van wrap

    I would guess if he's telling the truth it was a "practice job" and they guy charged him just for materials and used his van as his first wrap OR they did some kind of trade. The guy paid for materials plus a little extra in exchange for some kind of service. Clearly, you aren't getting the...
  16. Polling for Your Primary Monitor Setup for Order Management and Tracking

    The original question was about order tracking. I think there's a lot of smaller shops on here like myself. I use 3 total monitors and have one desk. The top left one, left open all the time with SignTracker on it so my orders are always a glance away. I can also turn it so customers can see the...
  17. "You'll have to eat your chili with a fork": Managerial Failure 101

    The best fast "food places" IMO are Culvers and Kwik Trip. They pay their employees well. I was just at Kwik Trip and associate managers make $50k+.
  18. "You'll have to eat your chili with a fork": Managerial Failure 101

    Fast food joints are sketchy these days. Last time I was at Burger King my son and I had to run for our lives due to a domestic violence fight in the kitchen. I thought for sure the guy had a gun was going to start shooting. We were scared to death. We saw him walk through the parking lot and he...
  19. big windows needing window perf

    I agree with Victor, that's what I would do also.
  20. Vinyl install toolbox

    I like some of these ideas! I have a carry box that sits on top of a cart. Usually I have a 100' cord on the bottom...must be in my van. After I left a 100' cord on a jobsite I started putting a business sticker on EVERYTHING. And, I do not do meth and I never have...Texas!
