  1. Any lighting tips for weeding vinyl - especially white - I can not see cut lines

    After making sure the bifocals are in place I just look at it from an angle. My wife can't do it. I can see where a light panel in a work table would be very useful. Maybe I'll do one for her and see. I wouldn't trust her with a pounce sock, lol. I have a small light box for pinholing screens...
  2. Fired a customer

    Had to remind a former customer yesterday that they were fired
  3. Need Help Removing old dead vinyl

    We are in the middle of changing logos on aviation fuel trucks. Lucky for us they have a hangar dedicated to maintenance and paint. All trucks are being stripped and painted, then we go out and apply new logos, warning labels, etc. So happy they don't have to be wrapped.
  4. Ad much?

    But I already have a basketball goal, lol. Jeez
  5. Need Help Removing old dead vinyl

    Have an electric co here that I have done some signs and shirts for. When I moved out here 16 years ago it took me 6 months looking at his vans in traffic to figure out from the wrap he was an electrician. Useless overblown design work. 2 years ago he asks how much to remove the old wrap. I told...
  6. Removing wide red reflective stripes

    Shop rate per man hour, heat. yellowtool plastic scrapers, rapid remover and some shade, lol. It helps if you own a distillery and have a slushie machine.
  7. Suggestions Airplane graphics

    I do paper templates for exteriors, think fedex, ups, P3, etc. Big planes. All graphics on exterior are paint. Tons of RTA vinyl for inside. Warning labels, id labels, etc.
  8. Is anyone running this railroad?

    Gino. Gino runs this railroad. ;-)
  9. Non-compete

    My state is a right to work state. Non competes aren't worth the paper they are written on. All it is good for is to stop a previous employee from going directly after clients they personally serviced. Normally 2 years. Pest control companies are big on non competes. If they are not involved in...
  10. letters coming up on the weed

    Put a weed border around lines of text with a cut being horizontal at halfway thru the letters. Then weed top half, bottom half. Helps with smaller text. I normally rip weed small stuff off of my graphtec. My wife simply can't do it from fear, lol. It is either cut right or it isn't.
  11. Mesh banners tearing in wind

    If someone told me to slice up a mesh banner period I would walk. You are the professional, they know nothing about it other than what they want right or wrong.
  12. Best squeegee for large wall graphics

    I've got an old 26" big squeegee that kills wall murals in a quickie. Have even used a 54 here and there. After that initial app I go with 12 and 6" wrapping squeegees.
  13. How to glue coroplast together?

    Stack them before the ink is dry after printing, you'll never get them apart, lol
  14. Thoughts on wall printers?

    How many times has your printer gagged and ruined a few feet of film or banner? Feel like painting the wall again if it goes mental?
  15. Installing inside of a hair salon without getting hair on it

    Agreed, that was my first thought, a sprayer full of water adjusted ti fine mist.
  16. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    Yep, that's the one. She made the same assumption you did about that on a Harley breather cover. It's the company logo that makes them. For the record the first time I saw it I thought the same thing, nazi garbage. That I have turned down in the past. This was close until I took the time to...
  17. Declining jobs based on moral/ethical grounds

    I haven't come across to many that I turned down, but a few. It's your call. I have never put a political sign in front of my shop even if the candidate were someone I was voting for because I print for any candidate and need to appear impartial. I did have an embroiderer once who refuse to put...
