I would guess that since they are hiring you (neato) that they have gotten rid of their quality designers and now have a staff of paper pushers and sales people. Now their goal is to make (if they're not outsourcing production too) and install them as fast as possible, and on to the next. I...

I'm sure you can get reflective to stick to dry concrete short term. But, concrete absorbs waters and it will eventually peel off in the short term. If I'm not mistaken, 3M's textured surface vinyl is made for applications like this but it is only guaranteed for 6 to 12 months when your not in a...

It doesn't matter whether you use templates or photos, you should always check the actual vehicle out in person or have the client send images. Clients will sometimes leave out important details and often, there are 10 or more variations on the same vehicle especially for trucks and vans.

I got used to using templates before wraps were even possible. We used them to show customers the scale of cut vinyl graphics on their vehicle and then price the jobs. During that process I learned how to deal with the discrepancies. When wraps came along it was fast and easy especially if you...

TCTA Common :: Pole Banner Hardware

The ones I have done had a spring in between the pole and the plate. If the wind load got too great it could flex and dump the load. Otherwise. you put a lot of stress on your anchors that mount it to the building. I would worry about that solid plate and bar falling on someone unless you are...

You probably didn't see it because the sun wasn't shining at the right angle. A glass guy taught me that most of the scratches happen on the back stroke. You end up dragging sand and dirt across the glass. On the forward stroke it goes above the blade. In the future make sure you only use...

Using vinyl made for low energy plastics is the best answer. But, you can also corona treat it. That is where you let the flame of a torch touch the surface. Then you will need to clean it well before you install the vinyl.

Never knew they were worried about exterior signs fire rating. Doesn't make a lot of sense when they make houses and buildings with wood siding. Now on the interior they worry about fire rating and what gasses materials give off as they burn.
