Hey Fred, I was referring to you knowing how to point Gino or the new administrator in the right direction since you had the forum for so long.

Fred Weis most likely. He took the forum over years ago.

Screw that, replace the material or let him do the removal, Your friend right? Labor cost to remove billed at $125 an hour with chemical adhesive removal which will most likely f- up the material. This is like the guy who rents a space with a 2x 10 ft. polycarbonate illuminated sign face that...

I don't use gas but a few of my customers do like I said.. I use Rapid Remover with a Nitrile gloves. I wont even prep a truck with ISO with out a Nitrile glove on. Customers can use what ever they want. .

Can't help. Been on here since 2003, 18 years! with thousands of posts and now a new member?... must have pissed in someones Cheerios or not been active enough...:toasting:

I've tried most citrus based adhesive removers and I find Rapid Remover to be the best. Expensive but works great. I have a few landscape customers who use gasoline because it's cheap and on hand. They say it work great...

Do you use Carbonite or something similar to back up in the cloud? If so put it on hold on it immediately. Sometimes it takes 24 hours to for them to update your files. The original file may still be there…

Check with Fred Weis on this site. I believe he still has one and helps people out here with prints.

That was a mess but whatever the bottlenecking was it happened before that...

Fellers guy told me one of the 3M manufacturing plants burnt down. IDK if that's true... My Rep told me 3M and Oracal can't get enough material / resin to manufacture vinyls do to Covid 19 restrictions & lock downs, shipping issues too. I don't purchase Avery anymore but I'm sure they're having...

I usually buy 91% Iso by the case to prep vehicles but you cant find any grade isopropyl around here in the stores. Just bought 10 gallons of Medical grade 99% Iso from a local janitorial supply store. Runs about $17 per gallon.

See attached.

Gerber foils are definitely the best. If you take a little Isopropyl alcohol and rub it on the print it won't come off. With the original Zero 9 foils the ink would come off. The Zero 9 Nex-Gen foils are much better and more resistant. I never cared for the Duracoat foils with the flimsy plastic...

This should help.

A few years back I unfortunately had to order a roll of Avery Pantone color match 286 Blue. I ended up needing a few more feet so I ordered another roll and it was like 1-2 shades lighter than the previous one and didn't match. Another reason I stick with 3M 7125 Cast...

You may want to look up a thread that was on here about a week or two ago about scraping glass and scratches before taking on this job...

. Looks to be apx. 20.25in. on this scaled pic of mine...

Gabagoo, Why don't you just print the graphics on reflective White, laminate and apply to the substrate?
