2 part epoxy would probably work just right. How did you try to glue it?

That's interesting, never heard of that. Any reason you think that might be?

Nice sign, but if you ran stringers you would have been able to centre this sign instead of trying to get both panels to line up with that one peak in the corrugated.....

If you did it like you said, 2nd surface on clear, it would look amazing. You could print a small test swatch and give them the test piece and let them choose the exact one. Print their pantone and a few 'neighbouring' colours. They will love it.

Legit gripe. We have the problem sometimes too. We receive cheques for our neighbours and of course we always give to them. Do they do the same? Makes you think, when a customer says "I swear to god I mailed that cheque 12 days ago!!!" I've heard that many times... but I have to give them the...

Thanks WildWest - I appreciate that. Honest question: How many times, in a year let's say, after doing your metadata analysis or any other method of determination about suitability for print, do you actually tell the customer: "No I won't print this for you." ?

You don't practice what you preach. You give no useful information about how to ensure they have the rights to ask you to print the artwork. It's all platitudes and metaphors for Gino. No, we don't believe that you are checking all artwork against the copyright registy. No, we don't believe...

Yes, I know Mickey Mouse. But I might not be as connected with popular culture. I'm a lifelong non-nerd. But the point is, we can't put all this on the signmaker to know what is copyrighted and what's not. You say: "Also have the ability to look up the copyright office" Give me a break...

I'd still take those home. Call it a 'perk'.

Plus you'd never have to buy towels for home. I mean.. the tanning salon wouldn't miss them if a couple went missing.

Gino, widely known to have integrity.... Hmmm.. Rubber bands, pens... where are you going with this? It sure is a slippery slope. Thanks for defining my job. So we have to "at least try to find out if is allowed or not". That was my specific question. And now I have your odd explanation of...

Lots going on there, but I have to ask: You're working day to day, files coming in all the time. Some tupperware lady comes in and wants some signage, provides you files (raster, vector, who cares...). What do YOU do as a professional to reasonably research the lawfulness of you printing this...

Hey WildWest - what would you say is "reasonable research"? Stacey has done her smalltown research and knows allllll the gossip. I don't see how that applies to the professionals in the sign industry. The word "professional" is interesting here too. We can act in a professional manner...

If she supplies files, how are you to interpret if you're allowed to print it or not? Just because something something about tupperware? She might have permission, she might not. You could say that about any artwork you are given, by anybody. Gino checks against the copyright registry before...

yep, that's how electricity works. That's why signmeup was quoting wattage.

So you're saying you have seen similar failure with 8508/8510 - 7 months turning black?

Except this one is 8510 and 7 months......

You gave up on them long ago, yet you just did a sign 7 months ago with their intermediate vinyl combo. And no vinyl would be able to take the VHB in the way you described. Someone there gave you bad advice I guess. I wouldn't be trying to necessarily get them to take responsibility but it...

I definitely would not expect that with ij40+8510, not even after 4 years. You have to show to 3M and please let us know what they say to that.

ij40c clear has been good for us and looks good. Dry apply.
