You think a faux finish plaque is going to outlast a cast bronze or aluminum plaque? Also, how is it a superior product? I've looked at the two products and the 25% cost isn't enough to justify going with the inferior product without a lifetime guarantee.

Does Harbor Sales sell to you? They do them and it's free freight if you're in their delivery range.

Do not do artwork mock-ups in front of customers at the counter and treat them as final approvals. You're creating the problem here. Not the customer. You're putting them on the spot to approve things without thinking it through and they might feel pressured or uncomfortable to criticize your...

Employees get bonuses. Owners get profit share. Investors get dividends. You want a share in the profit? Okay, then put some money into the company and be willing to shoulder some of the losses.

Depends on what you believe was the original intention. Was the original intention to actually bring back manufacturing? If it was, it's been an absolute failure. It's far more likely the intention was a tax hike on the QT, which was masked as a fight against China. If that's the case, then...

It's shocking that we're 7-8 months into this and people still don't understand why you wear masks. Wearing a mask is primarily there to prevent others from getting sick if you have Rona. You get some personal protection, but it's mostly about protecting others. That's why it's a mandatory...

There are tons of people selling small acrylic sheets on the internet. Delvies is a good one. I would strongly recommend staying away from Gemini for these types of jobs. They are incredibly expensive on this sort of thing.

Obviously you print on the other side, but as we all know, acrylic shows minor imperfections pretty easily if you're looking for them. A trick is instead of trying to keep the glossy finish, grab an orbital sander, and sand it down to a matte P95 finish. It probably won't look like a factory...

I'd compromise. I'd tell him you'll take his design files and cut them on your vinyl plotter at X price. He can weed, mask, and install them. That way you're making the gravy money and he's doing all the grunt work.

Sounds like they're trying to do the right thing. Why not call them up or send them an email and say that you appreciate them getting this done and standing behind their work. Then state you're used to boxes being built a bit beefier. Send some pics. Then ask them how much it would cost to...

I'd look into clear marine epoxy resin for the clear/sealer coat. Then let it cure all the way. Then you can scuff the V-carved sections, apply your size, then gold leaf.

You're competing with someone providing wholesale pricing. So they are either going directly to a wholesaler or are getting wholesale pricing from someone else. Being a middleman is tough because unless you're offering a unique service, you can be easily replaced / removed from the equation...

Some guy working at a printer company is not necessarily more of an expert than a person running that machine every day for years at a time. There is a huge overlap of knowledge. On top of that, you're not asking 1 person on here. You're asking a community made up of thousands of people and...

Why trust world experts when you trust random wackos? Makes sense to me!

I wouldn't use 1/2". 3/4" should work but you definitely need to account for it moving. Cheapest 3/4" PVC you can buy is from Home Depot. Model # H190AWS13

I'd reach out to Vectric and see if you can run V-Carve Pro. They should be able to tell you almost immediately.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Find me an article telling me there is a correlation and I'd be happy to read it. There are tons that state that not wearing masks or following the simple rules does correlate though...

And this sums up why we'll be one of the last countries to recover from Corona virus.

Simply put, questioning everything is incredibly stupid and a massive waste of time and energy. I know teachers told you to question things to make sure you weren't believing incorrect information. They were wrong. They did a shitty job of teaching you what you're actually supposed to do...

None of our opinions matter. We are massively unqualified to have an opinion on this matter. There is consistent messaging coming from the top professionals in their fields: Wear a mask. Social distance. Wash your hands. Avoid large groups when possible. Quarantine yourself if you break...
