Bartering does not usually work out. One or the other feels like they did not get a good deal. I always suggest this when it comes up. You pay me what I want for the signs and I'll pay you for what you have to offer.

Would not worry about how long the clearshield will last because you are using one shot which won't last very long anyway. Do what Bill said.

Spray it with clearshield matt. You will be very happy.

I am rarely stressed but when it does creep in I just drink vodka. Not much and very responsibly. Works for me.

Just jump in and do it. Make signs, practice making signs, draw signs, sell signs. Live and breathe signs.

Sign comp extrusion will give you a no visible fasteners cabinet.

Those signs look ok as they are. Tell em to spend there money on something else you can offer them.

If it's a permit your want to get. Give them an engineers drawing that shows the fastening, snow loads, wind loads, dimensions, renderings etc. You probably also need a contractors license and electrical seal. None of this is hard. PIA in the beginning but gets easier the more you do. It's a...

Would you go to a restaurant with your own food and ask them to prepare a meal for you?

Yup clear shield. Great stuff. Been using it for years. I like the the matte finish. I call it magic juice. It's great for covering imperfections. Got a paint job that's not perfect. Roll on some clear shield and your good to go. It's pricey but worth it.

How about figure out what each sticker weighs and sell the stuff by the pound. Would be a lot easier to calculate your pricing

Make a new banner. It will be cheaper. At least in my world.

So that really good deal from Abdula did not turn out so good. Sorry to hear that.

Learning how to recognize and say No to work that doesn't make money.

You could have the studs to line up with the mortar lines. If your worried what the wall looks like with small stud holes after the sign comes down just think what it's going to look like with all the glue to clean up.

Very nice. Reverse mirror or clear makes a beautiful sign. I love the look of reverse gold leaf with painted outlines and translucent shadows. Why not weed the vinyl before you stick it?

Yes this was my problem doing installs for the big sign companies. Waiting for the money and doing business on their terms never worked out for me. I will still do installs for others but on my terms. Terms: Send the check along with the sign. Tape it to the sign for safekeeping. I won't cash...

I love pictures of sign carnage. I'll bet they looked exciting when the wind was blowing. Nice posts to work with. Like others have said. Get rid of the chains. Use no s hook and bolt through the eyes on the arm. .125" or bigger panel.
