  1. Coreldraw 2021?

    I keep all the flyouts I use frequently anchored to the right side of the page. Much handier. But it you want to move it, just click and hold the tab of it and pull it off the edge of the page. Or to rearrange the tabs, click and drag up and down in the line and drop it where you want it.
  2. Removing cracked window graphics and reinstalling, (vendor provided the graphics)

    One of these will speed your removal. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Warner-Steel-Paint-Scraper-Common-4-in-Actual-4-in/3089517 Get the pack of replacement blades. You'll need them. You don't want to keep using a blade if it gets a nick or ding in it (you will scratch the window then). Wet the window...
  3. big squeegee DIY

    The PVC Big Squeegee they started out with was problematic. So if you try to imitate that one, it takes quite a bit of knack and luck to not have creases and wrinkles on a big sign. The new aluminum extrusion one with the long pole handles works, though it still takes a certain skill to not...
  4. Coreldraw 2021?

    You can click and drag the flyouts to any order you like
  5. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    I've never used an etch vinyl that was stiff enough to handle without application tape.
  6. Newbie Needing Help With Greys

    Actually not true. Orange is hardest.
  7. Suggestions Oh boy..........................

    I think I would offer to take the sign down and return her deposit.
  8. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    Highway Gothic or Blue Highway would be computer fonts that look like what I just call old-fashioned gothic letters. We never called them Egyptian letters around here that I know of, even though Brad is from 3 hours away. But he's in a city, we're out in the boonies.
  9. Etch Glass Effect Vinyl

    You didn't have application tape on it?
  10. Check never debited...

    I guess they don't have good employees at the banks you all use. When I deposit checks, the tellers will point out to me that the writer didn't put the cents on the longhand written line and they can't deposit it for the full amount written in the numerals box. Or that the writer didn't sign the...
  11. Looking for a font that looks like an egyptian font any hand letterer would use.

    What does an Egyptian font look like? Hieroglyphics? Arabic?
  12. It's on the tip pf my brain but I just can't name this font.

    University Roman Bold with a very heavy contour.
  13. Noobie Questions about these "templates"

    If you buy the templates, they are accurate and ready to use. For karts, bikes, quads, etc. the files are usually already exact size, 1:1. For automobiles they are usually scaled 1:20. I find the front and rear view drawings are not correct on automobile templates. They make the template look...
  14. Mounting Brackets For 6mm MAXMETAL

    We use three per 4' side on the pole. Two corners and a center. They will end up damaging the wrap on the sign from flexing of the sign, so cut around the bracket with a knife.
  15. Eyelet press won't cut through hemmed banner

    Even if they came with the press, they may be the wrong grommets. Non self-peircing grommets, like the ones you get at Wal-Mart with a tool that requires the use of a hammer to set the grommet require you to first punch the hole with a punch, then set the grommet with the grommet tool...
  16. How to stretch a vinyl

    Adhesive vinyl? If you are installing with a Big Squeegee, it's easy to gain length in the direction you are squeegeeing. In fact you have to work hard not to stretch the vinyl an inch over a distance like that. Not sure how you'd get gains in length and width at the same time without making it...
  17. Insane installation

    I doubt they are adhered to the banner wrap. Unless they are packing them with some serious lithium batteries, they are wired the traditional way, through the wall. That means there are studs through the banner too. On the other hand, if the banner isn't flush with the wall, but they use...
  18. What is a "Monkey Board" type sign?

    Monkeyboard is an oil drilling term. monkeyboard. 1. n. [Drilling]. The small platform that the derrickman stands on when tripping pipe. There's a rooftop bar and restaurant in New Orleans with that name also. You would not want your monkeyboard made of coroplast if you were the monkey.
  19. Application Roller For Existing Table. Any Ideas?

    The Big Squeegee requires a little practice to get the touch just right, but works well once you have it figured out. Just realize that it does require a little bit of setup and practice and finesse, unlike the way the videos portray where it looks like you can just slam through everything in...
  20. Thoughts on the Epson s70670?

    That usually is caused by the damper--which is not user serviceable on the Epsons.
