  1. 90-minute massage is booked for Tuesday...

    Here's the kicker (and a definite learning lesson): I started by installing the bottom row first. Prior to starting, I pulled a few signs out of their packaging to measure the width. All three signs measured right at 5-5/16" or 5-21/64". So I did all of my math based on 5-5/16" (see where this...
  2. 90-minute massage is booked for Tuesday...

    480 holes drilled, 480 anchors hammered in, 480 screws driven to install 240 back plates in place with exactly 3" separation, 240 face plates tape-mounted to the back plates. Finished at 1am Friday night. :Sleeping:
  3. Client Asked Me To Relocate Plastic Gemini Letters. ADVICE?

    This is how I've always relocated letters. It's the easiest and most accurate way.
  4. ADA vs ABA regarding signs

    Certificates of Occupancy are granted based on ADA (pertaining to signs). The ABA states: "The ADA applies to places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, and State and local government facilities. The ABA covers facilities designed, built, altered with Federal funds or leased by...

    Just to throw this into the mix, the depth of the pan is referred to as the 'draw'....
  6. My new sign installation lift...

    Sprinter vans don't fit in parking garages and getting in parking garages is a necessity.
  7. My new sign installation lift...

    Had an opportunity to use this again yesterday. I covered so much ground, I got on Google Earth to figure out the distance I drove it and it was right at a mile. Installed eight parking lot ID signs and tobacco free signs. Battery meter barely showed any use (used one bar out of ten). Pretty...
  8. Wall graphics on Kilz....

    No idea which Kilz it was. I should have asked the contractor...just didn't think of it (didn't realize there were that many varieties).
  9. Wall graphics on Kilz....

    It's Oracals version of air egress. Had some spots that just would not stay down. Wall was painted with Kilz approximately 2 weeks ago.
  10. Projection/Wall mount signs

    Depending on the wall material and finish, I'd see if they'd be ok with literally going through the wall and anchoring it to a wall stud. If it's painted drywall, it really wouldn't be a big deal to anchor the sign and then patch and paint the drywall.
  11. $1500 shaper origin handheld cnc router at the end of this month who's buying?

    The vendor I use for digital printing is always spot on with their colors, so I wouldn't think that's the problem. I bought the Nix to use when doing surveys and when the customer needs a color-match for the exterior walls. I figured it would be a better alternative to use the Nix and get the...
  12. $1500 shaper origin handheld cnc router at the end of this month who's buying?

    I was sent a replacement. I tested it by scanning multiple Sherwin Williams colors, used the CMYK colors to print those colors and then compared them to the originals. They weren't even close.
  13. $1500 shaper origin handheld cnc router at the end of this month who's buying?

    I learned my lesson with that Nix paper weight. This looks like a great tool, but no way I would front that until it's actually released and has positive feedback.
  14. Formed sign face supplier (D/FW Area?)

    It's all on their Facebook page. I've only dealt with them once and that was for 5x10 formed faced, backsprayed. They dod a really nice job. https://m.facebook.com/Master-Signs-176281678288/

  17. Acrylic Letters to Cement Face

    Silicone works great for non-acrylic and non-polycarbonate applications. For those, Lexel is the best. It's the only adhesive I've found that specifically lists those items. I posted this a while ago, but this is a picture of an acrylic panel that was adhered to concrete that had to be...
  18. Mounting Acrylic Standoff Panel to Glass Wall

    If the panels are fairly small, you can use clear VHB on the back of the standoffs and just tape them directly to the glass. Then tape a matching cap on the opposite side of the glass. It gives the appearance that it's anchored through the glass without actually having to drill it.
