  1. Double Sided Banners

    Grimco sells Bantex two sided in both 13 oz and 18 oz versions. However there wouldn't have been an immense price difference on the banners. The 18 oz costs $740 for a 54"x50yd roll, while the 13 oz is $625 for the same size roll. Both do contain a blockout layer. I checked with all the...
  2. Oh, I really went and did it now! In serious need of help or suggestions.

    Sure it's not just adhesive stuck on the letters?
  3. Discussion Vinyl Identification - air release wrap vinyls

    It's Avery MPI 1105 EZ RS.
  4. Suggestions Custom cut aluminum supplier

    I used to have places I could get custom cut substrate shapes from, but they have either gone out of business or stopped providing the service. I am needing 5 or 6 circles cut from white .063" aluminum, 18" diameter. Who can I get them from?
  5. Lets Go!

    He's not really the guy behind "Let's Go Brandon." He's the guy caught in it. His name is Brandon Brown. He won a NASCAR race at Talladega, and was being interviewed live on TV by NBC reporter Kelli Stavast. The crowd in the stands was chanting the expletive chant against the president started...
  6. Suggestions Turn on the humidifier, today!!!

    At 9 am it's 58 degrees with 76% humidity, high of 71 today. Indoors my gauge says 35% humidity. I don't think I'll be turning the humidifier on unless I want to grow some mold.

  8. Commercial Tint Leaving Streaky Residue

    Rapid Tac has alcohols for faster drying and activating adhesive, and I suspect this leads to the streaking with the tint film.
  9. Commercial Tint Leaving Streaky Residue

    Check with the manufacturer of the film for what liquid you are supposed to be using for application. It is probably plain water, water with soap, or a proprietary spray like Gila uses. I doubt any of them specify Rapid Tac.
  10. Best way to mount an ACM sign to corrugated metal siding?

    We use treated lumber 2x4's cut 2 or 3 inches shorter than the sign on each end and mounted 2" in from the top and bottom of the sign. A 4' high sign needs 3 rows of stringers. We use a screw which can withstand treated lumber and can be driven into the wood so it's flush. Typically it means a...
  11. Best way to mount an ACM sign to corrugated metal siding?

    We do not mount signs directly to the siding. We attach stringers to the siding, then put the sign on the stringers. I believe it looks better as well, since the sign is not just flat on the wall but instead floating an inch and a half away. In addition, you can then use low profile lath screws...
  12. Shop owner passed away...what happens to copyright?

    Brad is right here. Copyright does not enter into the equation. The only thing of large value that the widow has to sell are the art files, which would be worth whatever utility they might have to the buyer. I doubt any one man shop's files are worth $150,000. Maybe $25,000 or even $50,000 with...
  13. Discussion Does anyone have any experience with "THE BIG SQUEEGEE" Manual film laminator

    Yes. The new aluminum ones work far better than the PVC ones did. Still require a completely flat table, and careful technique for good results.
  14. Searching for large concrete letters (resin, fiberglass)?

    You probably want to work with a manufacturer of hard coated eps foam signs to make these. If you do a Google search for "hard coated foam signs" you can find one situated near you. I have a sample of one that a salesman brought in that he hit with a 5 lb sledgehammer. It did not damage the...
  15. Need Help Onyx Printing stopping at 9.5%

    Test print something else. Just a 10"x20" rectangle or something. If that prints fine, then it's likely an error with the particular file you were trying to print.

  17. Am I overthinking?

    If the store were an REI store would you tell them that the forest green of their logo makes it not visible and you think it should be pink or something to stand out from the vegetation?
  18. Glass permanently etched by decals?

    That is not something that is known to happen. I've never heard about it read about and certainly haven't experienced it in almost 30 years in the business. Considering that most outdoor vinyl doesn't last past 7-8 years anyway, it's unlikely it happens very often.
  19. Glass permanently etched by decals?

    There is sometimes a very hard ridge of dirt crusted into adhesive left at the edges of the letters. It won't come off with the usual adhesive remover techniques involving wiping, but it will come off. We usually combine citrus adhesive remover with a razor blade to plane it off. Other than...
