    I meant if you're gonna use saw blades and whatnot and really mess up the wall.
  2. Suggestions re-installing stud mounted acrylic lettering

    Piano wire. Just wear gloves if there are no studs. Studs.... tell them to remove them, cause you don't have insurance t destroy their wall.
  3. So.......................................................................

    Around here, a chalkboard can be used outside on the pavement, but not inside, unless it's one of those that light up and you use a liquid pen. Any eating establishment or where food is prepared, cut/sliced like in the deli in a grocery store, it is not permitted. Chalk residue can fall into...
  4. People asking for logos...I'm getting irritated

    So they don't see ya at the neighborhood tavern having lunch.........................
  5. So.......................................................................

    About 3 or so months ago, this guy comes into the shop looking for a price on an electric sign for his new restaurant, which is opening up, directly across the street from our shop. He told me how big it was to be and I priced him on a brand new one, or a used one, I have out back. Nothing...
  6. Custom Reflective Engine Turn Lettering...again.

    Good eye. That's the key.
  7. Hello from Central Kentucky

    Hahahahaaaa...... I don't really care if someone is legal or not, not anymore. My question would be, how'd you land a job for all those components and not have equipment, materials or any knowledge of how to do the job ?? Licenses, permits, insurance and overhead aside....... how did you...
  8. Helping For Printing Banner

    Are you using some program other than versaworks or corel for a rip ?? Or are you doing all of your printing directly from corel ?? It might be, your rip cannot handle the size file you're sending.
  9. Removing a very old and cracked sign... hmmm

    I'm gonna call Tommy and see what he wants to do. He seems to have some authority at this place.
  10. New Pokemon character

    Just don't bend over too far. ;)
  11. New Pokemon character

    :doh: I like the shadow. Delightfully pleasing.
  12. Sign Hardware

    Ya oughta tell them, that's about the worst way you can do it. Based upon their size, material, height in the air, and sign placement, there's no one who can really advise you on what to do. One of those suckers break loose and go sailing across a parking lot, could decapitate someone, then...
  13. Established sticker business looking to stop outsourcing

    Most of these answers are right on, but ya still need to remember..... nothing beats bringing fabrication, manufacturing, quality control and ability to turn it out instantly, if need be, like doing it in-house. You biggest hurdle would be size of equipment and your budget. If you can afford...
  14. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    Actually, it's not. When backspraying electric faces, you would put liquid frisket down, cut it out with an xacto, spray it and do all your first colors, then remove the next layer or cut some new for the incidentals. It was all done in reverse This would be first side, so it goes down...
  15. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    Pardon me if I'm wrong, but the idea behind galvanized is that it won't rust for like 50 years..... anyway 35 or so. Also, I don't think rattle cans come in some of those colors. I'd sooner think it was sprayed after having a frisket cut and applied to the sign surface and sprayed in layers...
  16. Prep this for vinyl or cut new?

    They don't look very big, so according to how it was installed, I'd use .063 aluminum or 3mm acm. Don't waste time on those panels. Too much trouble.
  17. Top 5 Signage Mistakes

    Splitting hairs is not getting you anywhere. What's it matter to you ?? You don't know the difference or care to understand it correctly. The reason so many people use it in this industry, is cause they don't know any better either, just like you and don't wish to learn.... just like you...
  18. At one time..........................................................................................

    Sorry S'Rex................ but I don't drink anymore. Here's where I should say, not any less, either, but I really did quit. Maybe an occasional glass of wine, but that's about it. I still get the hot dogs and specials from time to time. They're as great as ever. We should plan a Johnny...
  19. Top 5 Signage Mistakes

    Ya know, you come late to every conversation and repeat what was already said and substitute words and think you're contributing. You don't know where to get anything or how to do anything and you wanna tell me to stifler it ?? You're more like edith, and she was always stifled by archie. Is...
