  1. Discussion Hammer Drill & Bits

    The key is SDS which is 100's of times better than your standard drill with hammer drill functions. Not only do the SDS drills chew through the toughest concrete and brick, but the bits last longer as well. Over a short period of time you will save enough money on bits to pay for the drill. I...
  2. Question auto wrap, door edges cut or wrap?

    Typically the image below shows how I trim a commercial printed wrap. For color changes you work each vehicle panel separately and wrap allot more edges. If you do wrap edges you need a 1/4" to make sure it will hold especially if it is under stress.
  3. Question auto wrap, door edges cut or wrap?

    I love tools and that's a nice tool but you can do the same thing with a regular knife and very little practice. Concentrate on putting pressure on the plastic or metal part of the blade holder. It will self center and the blade follows behind cutting the vinyl. With a little practice you can...

  5. Question What's the point of translucent black?

    Translucent black is also more opaque then standard cast vinyl. Standard cast vinyls have a mottled texture when backlit.
  6. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    All the graphics on the cab are old, box was new (actually wrapped over old liquid lam graphics). Unit#s are the only thing that looks odd to me
  7. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    They exist, I just did one and laughed all the way to the bank. They told me the size and had no images and said quote it and install it. I was pleasantly surprised when I showed up.
  8. Corel Draw X8

    Most programs leave behind a temp file when they crash. When you get in a situation where the program crashes in the same spot everytime, try closing the program and deleting all the files in your temp folder. Ignore the ones windows won't let you delete. Those are active temp files. Windows -...
  9. Car Wrapping Question

    Wrappers do this all the time for custom looks or to include their logo in a subtle way. Avery's Wrap like a King winner had 10 layers to help create a 3D wood texture.
  10. Does anybody use flat pricing for their vehicle wraps?

    Flat pricing doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. ikarasu posted good reasons above. My philosophy is to tell the client a range for a known vehicle like a Ford van and explain how their vehicle compares. Basically all your trying to do is get rid of the tire kickers and find clients who...

  13. Anyone ele having issues with 3M ink Over-saturation?

    First manufactures will always tell you there is nothing wrong with their media. By the time it failed and they tested it the solvents are gone anyway. First test as an installer is the smell when you open the box.If you smell the solvents your going to have a problem especially if it is a dark...
  14. Question Whats your squeegee type for installing ?

    I used to use the Bondex (Walmart stick on repair patch for Nylon down jackets) but switched to Wet Edge squeegees. I got tired of the buffers coming off so I switched to the Geek Wraps squeegees. Both of those are expensive and work well wet ,but over time they don't work as well dry. I finally...

  16. Totally legit email right?

    That's why I cringe when a customer wants to put a gmail or service provider email address on anything.
  17. Why do people use "Brand names" instead of the actual product name?

    In my opinion it's because the Brand was the first to market and became synonyms with the product. For me its always been Coroplast, Diabond, Alumalite, Corian, Plexiglas.

  19. Boat wraps

    Cast all the way and use edge sealer not edge tape. Before you install the graphic, install Knifeless tape 1/2 inch above the wake ridge line. On the front you should overlap the center line by 3" on each side for a total overlap of 6". After all the graphics are installed you need to edge seal...
  20. Paint mask on drywall

    I've had this happen before. If you want guaranteed crisp paint lines you have to use a light coat of the wall paint first. That will seal the edges of the paint mask and stop any paint bleed. My experience with the paint mask pulling paint is that the painters don't dust the wall before...
