  1. Lifting Oracal Reflective Vinyl

    Is it a new trailer, or an older one that may have some surface oxidation? Even a small amount of oxidation will cause anything to lift/ bubble. I run a buffer over them quick when they're not in shiny new condition. Are the exterior panels painted, or powder coated? If it's a new/ newer one...
  2. Question static electricity on sheets of coro....

    Is your office area attached to the warehouse? Build a room off of that wall it off, run suspended ceilings, insulate, and add ducts to the office HVAC. That way it's a contained area (with AC) that'll be easier to control temp, humidity, dust. You can still run freestanding humidifiers if you...
  3. External Monitor for HP Flatbed 500

    That's interesting FrankW... If that's how they're set up, touch screens with VGA/ RS232 are pretty common for use in kiosks, POS systems, and equipment use. Used to use those in trade show exhibits before everything went USB and HDMI. Unfortunately, the issue getting one to work would be the...
  4. Question static electricity on sheets of coro....

    Back when I dealt with pallets of coro. sintra, and other static prone materials, we used those ionizing anti-static guns. We had a couple variations, one was just a blow gun attached to an air hose that we could use anywhere, the CNC even had an air hose with one attached, and big units that...
  5. Do you give customers little samples with their orders?

    One of these days I'm gonna hook that big ol' neon transformer up to that POS iMac, see if it'll glow :cool:
  6. Do you give customers little samples with their orders?

    I have your hot sauce assistant Stacey... That's actually a good way to get people to remember your business, and kinda fun. One of the places I order car parts from for my toy at home always comes with a handful of little bags of Skittles.
  7. Are all marketing departments slow??

    Some are like dealing with committees, they let too many get involved, all have their own vision, none can agree on anything, and everything stalls.
  8. Outgassing in 6 hours?

    There really is no set number of hours for for solvent to evaporate, the 24 hour thing just covers pretty much all scenarios. It's all dependent on ink, coverage, temp settings on the printer, print speed, shop temp, humidity. Just like paints, conditions dictate cure times. Over the decades I...
  9. Improving precesion of old summa cutters

    If you had to shim the rollers you put in, they're not right. That could eventually wear other parts, not clamp properly, cause twisting in the roller or holder which will cause media to not track straight... (If one roller is crooked, it's like driving a car with one wheel not pointing...

    That takes all the fun out...
  11. Lead Graphic Designer

    You can make grilled cheese sammiches on the hood of your car for lunch ;)
  12. Ghost Graphics Process

    Yup... Reflective vinyls come in colors, and that's what police vehicles use (around here anyway), black for black vehicles, white for white, etc, just cut & lay.... Reflectives aren't true solid colors like paint or print, so there's usually enough contrast for daytime visibility without any...
  13. What is this fake granite material?

    If it's painted on it's probably MultiSpec... A sprayable architectural coating. Used to use a ton of it making displays, Sherwin Williams was a distributor back when I used to use it. I think Hallman Lindsay also carries another brand similar to it. It's pretty cool stuff, you pretty much...
  14. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    Place I retired from usually had an average of 40-50 people working there (as many as 200 at times). We designed and manufactured POP/ POS displays, and major trade show exhibits for national/ international accounts. All the Mastercraft, Jeldwen, Weathershield, Peachtree, Pella, hell most of the...
  15. Replacement for Chromatic High Build Primer on HDU

    Another alternative is Evercoat's Feather Fill or Super Build 4:1 Polyester high build primers. Plus you can get it locally from parts stores that carry the brand for the auto body industry, I know Oreilly's is one of them.
  16. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    I think whoever took this company over is in over their heads if they're actively doing this. We do national accounts (some on their sell sheet), local stuff is secondary work, it comes to us, we don't go seeking it. Bet the reason her husband got her father's business instead of her is because...
  17. Speaking of permits…

    Think about it. You'll no longer be making tweets, you'll be making X-posts, and uploading X-videos... Someone didn't think this through :roflmao:
  18. Speaking of permits…

    I find it hilarious...
