  1. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    Yep, that's all I do is contract installs. It does....but quietly. :)
  2. Latest setup for dimensional letter installs...

    ...Actually for dimensional letters, concrete drilling, etc. Rather than get drywall dust all over the wall and floor, I've been using the DeWalt cordless Flexvolt extractor and the suction ring. The extractor comes with a fob that you can put on your wrist or wherever. I put it on the hose of...
  3. Do I need to find the wall studs for this interior sign ?

    The oversized holes in the acrylic allow for all the adjustment you need.
  4. Do I need to find the wall studs for this interior sign ?

    No need to find a stud. Most basic wall anchors hold around 30 to 50 lb each.
  5. Drilling Into Acrylic

    Bits for acrylic and Polycarbonate typically have a 60° tip. I've drilled hundreds of holes in acrylic/poly and the step bits work the best (even better than bits intended for plastics, in my opinion). I use these from Harbor Freight and they work great. If you're not near a Harbor Freight...
  6. Which VHB tape for install on interior smooth concrete?

    RP45.....save yourself some money.
  7. Now that you're done blowing leaves...

    ....will have to...?
  8. Installers pricing in risk or replacement?

    I completely get what you're saying, but that's too hypothetical since I doubt anyone has ever installed a million dollar sign in 2 hours lol. But I get what you're saying. I think realistically speaking, your typical, industry-expected labor rates for signs already take into account, to some...
  9. Installers pricing in risk or replacement?

    If the something that goes wrong is the installers fault, it's absolutely his responsibility. The responsibility of the installer doesn't change based on the value of the sign. If the something that goes wrong is beyond the installers control, then no, he shouldn't be responsible. As soon as...
  10. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    No espresso machine, but their lawn mower is pretty sweet.
  11. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    Yeah, Ryobi released theirs early this year. Milwaukee has had theirs out for about two years. DeWalt didn't release theirs until this past summer.....almost a year and a half later. Took them long enough...
  12. Laser Leveling Recommendations

    Just confirming that green is by far a better choice. Red can be harder to see on glass and is definitely harder, sometimes impossible to see outside. I use THIS one. The horizontal and vertical 360° lines come in handy when aligning to overhead lights, centering on walls, fixtures, ceiling...
  13. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    Yeah, Makita has one but they're about the only one, I believe. The day DeWalt comes out with out, I'll get it.
  14. DeWalt Cordless Heat Gun

    This thing is pretty great. It's obviously not for everything, but for other things, it's perfect. Case in point, I had to remove quite a bit of 1" vinyl lettering and replace with new today. I tried getting it off with a fingernail first and it would remove somewhat easily, but every piece...
  15. We're in the market for an articulating boom lift but...

    The towable Haulotte Biljax are the best I've used. They can easily be found for under $20k.
  16. Studded dimensional letter to wood sign, what Adhesive?

    Agreed, silicone is plenty. You'll need to drill the holes a smidge larger than you would normally drill in drywall.
  17. Lexel & VHB foam tape

    VHB and Lexel should be fine but for peace of mind, you might want to consider Lords...
  18. What happens when you don't get a permit

    I know...my brother was in town and we were driving through there and I told him these were all million dollar homes. He's like "why??" lol. I said because then they can tell all their friends they live in the Park Cities.
  19. Lexel & VHB foam tape

    Lexel takes quite a while to fully cure. But once cured, you won't get those panels apart too easy. I say that but I don't think you said what the material was either.....
  20. What happens when you don't get a permit

    The Park Cities aren't known for giving variances lol....it's typically their way or the highway.
