  1. Question de-installing live signage

    So, why not just go inside, flip the breaker, and proceed with the removal. It should take less than 5 minutes, and will prevent someone from getting a nasty shock....Remember, Safety First. When ever I work on anything electrical, I always double check the breaker, and also lock it out...
  2. Signs365 charging double for fast service

    I don't use that "hit" service. I don't need anything that fast. I have found that they are slacking on their qc. I put in an order, and it was (2) different files, with (4) maps on each file, for (8) maps. They were the same map, but different "you are here" arrows on each map. Well, I got...
  3. Need Help 5'x5' Aluminum .125 Thickness

    Harbor sales has it, and can cut it down, and radius the corners to 2" as well.
  4. Smalts question...

    I have a sign that will use smalts... My deadline is closer than I anticipated, and I'm trying to figure out a way to speed it up. I have always used 1 shot and smiths cream, mixed 50/50. It usually takes up to 2 weeks to cure out, and I'm wondering if I don't use as much cream, will it dry...
  5. 2'x17' vinyl install

    I understand wanting to do it in one piece, but are there seams in the metal? I would cut the vinyl down to hit those seams.... If there aren't, get a second person (Or a third)... I did a 24" x 30' panel on a couple of tanker trucks... I did the first one wet, and then the second one was cut...
  6. GAP AUTO INSURANCE

    Well, you can expect a payoff check from the other insurance company. I got rear ended once and after taking my young son to the hospital to get checked out, we got a check from the other drivers company for $7500 ($2500 per person) so that we couldn't go back and sue for pain and suffering...
  7. Corel X5

    I have a copy of x5 that I would like to sell. I just upgraded my computer, and had to go with windows 10, and Corel x5 won't work on it... so I had to upgrade to x8... Make a legitimate offer.
  8. Recent email from Signcraft Magazine...

    Actually puppy -1 / sign shop - 1... He had a good time, and I got a replacement. Win win for everybody.
  9. How is business so far this year?

    I am busier now than I was last year at this time. I've got people that are actually getting upset that I tell them I am so wrapped up, and it will be several weeks before I can even consider looking at their project... Which I absolutely hate... I have always prided myself that I can get to...
  10. Rant When did this all come about.......?????

    Using the word "like" every other word is horrible. That drives me totally Nucking Futs... As, far as "uhhh", I unfortunately, have that habit (and it is mostly on the phone, when I am leaving a message for someone). It has been explained to me that it is a pause that allows the brain to...
  11. Question Removal of old graphics

    Yup. Most of my customers balk when I say "$85 an hour, and how ever long it takes", but after they try to take it off, they usually call me. I know a guy that tells the customer that it would be cheaper to go buy a new truck. He flat out won't strip one.
  12. GA Wanted Speed Press

    You mean that aluminium frame with the premask attached? If so, I have 2 of them I wouldn't mind selling...
  13. Opening a sign shop

    Yeah, that non compete is pretty much bogus. Check with an attorney in your state, but they pretty much are trying to take away your ability to earn a living in your chosen profession. Now if you went in not knowing anything and they trained you, maybe, but trying to get you to sign with prior...
  14. HDU trim

    I want to say I've seen somewhere a decorative trim made from HDU. It seems this would be a better alternative to picking up trim at the local hardware store, that won't accept paint, and starts peeling within a year... Anybody else seen that, or am I dreaming?
  15. Real Estate logo usage for mock-ups?

    In my experiences, real estate agents are the cheapest of the cheap, so they will love it when they get designs for free. That way when they call any other sign company, the first thing they will say "Oh, you know that sign shop Clem's sign-a-rama, that is doing our design for free, well can...

  17. Gerber AR router material holder

    I have an older Gerber AR router, and I am in need of the material holders. What they are is an aluminium slider with 1/4" - 20 threaded hole that fit into the T-track on the table. I can't for the life of me remember what they are called, but I seem to remember that they are available from...
  18. Dig 811

    Nope. If a line is not marked, your not responsible, if you called. And yes, I call every time I dig. I heard about a sign guy that didn't call, hit a fiber optic line, and the cost to repair was over $100 grand...I'm not willing to risk that...
