USPS Priority Mail (air) is beating the private carriers to us at about 1/3 the cost. Some of the boxes do look like they were loaded by pit bulls but most are packed well enough that the contents survive.

We're on the equator so we could have super UV exposure: The red is not printed, it is 3M180c-13 Tomato Red Controltac. Been on there about 9 years now. Still tomato red on the underhanging part of the tank but tomato white all along the top. We are in the process of replacing it with 3M 2080...

C'mon man it's in the link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article

Well, it was either post this or start a thread about bird poop landing on the President while he was blaming Putin for the 8.5% inflation. I figured, just this once, I would take the high road.

I think I need to start wearing chaps. (like Notarealsignguy). I was working in my shop in cargo shorts and had my closed Olfa snap knife in the front pocket. I wasn't working on sign stuff but I always carry my knife. I was building a winch bumper for a truck and I squatted to weld down low and...

If the text is small and lifting off the backer you can add split lines to each line of text so that you weed only one half at a time. It allows you to hold down the letters to keep them in place. Flexi will do it for you in the plot menu. It is also pretty simple to set up in Corel or...

Just need to add in 'Must love chickens' and you are all set.

Use a solid fill and no outline. Should give you a single clean path on the outline of your shapes
