Regular maintenance for a sign? That's a thing? Is sounds like you're building a section of a battleship, not a sign. Whatever you end up doing for a frame, use 6mm, or even 3mm will work, aluminum laminate [Dibond, Nudo, whatever they call it in your village] for the sign substrate. The stuff...

Your photo shows a couple of things. One, try never to print a full bleed. Even though edge lifting is not apparent here, it's always best to leave a white border proportional to the image. Two, a miserable installation. For this job most any premium cast printable vinyl will do. Far more is...

Easy there, that particular adage is 100% Ernie Kovacs.

I don't have a bank password. I don't do anything resembling banking and/or financials online. Neither should anyone else. Regardless, the passwords that I'm talking about are all of those required by others to access various web sites, etc. For things of mine, I have other schemes, just as...

I don't add any characters. Site name, who cares, everyone gets the same identical password. Far simpler than having to add characters depending on the choices of others. As previously noted, these passwords are to protect them, not you. Since I care not an ounce of clotted wombat snot about...

Too complicated. Pick a word of sufficient length, diddle it with upper case, numbers, special characters. Remember it. Use it for everything. Passwords are far more to protect those requiring one than yourself. Why go out of your way to accommodate them? Make it easy on yourself, not anyone...

Why wouldn't it? I've been doing this method for many years and I doubt the result has ever been more than 1/8" off. It doesn't work well for severely curved or compound curved surfaces. For those you need to flatten the curved surface into two-space with a paper template.

Don't waste your time with tape measures and templates. Simply tape a framing square, 16"x24", 8"x12", or whatever, the larger the better, square to the vehicle. Take a photo of the vhicle with the framing square in place trying for a straight on shot with minimal horizontal and vertical...

It has far more to do with your setup and weeding technique than what media you happen to be using. Don't be afraid to as many weeding assistance cuts as necessary as well as horizontal split lines right through the center of troublesome text.

This is the reason that I stopped laminating prints some years back. It didn't matter what vinyl laminate I used, they all turned brown is a relatively short time. This is in western Colorado at ~5000 feet. I started using liquid laminate, which is acrylic and not vinyl, and have never had a...

Regardless of whether or not that's correct, the customer is always the customer.

A couple of years ago I was replacing by old beater PC with a new one. The old machine was running Flexi 8.6. Somehow the Flexi dongle wouldn't play proferly on the new PC. Flexi wouldn't run at all but Production Manage would. Go figure. All of my heroic efforts to resuscitate Flexi were in...

Not quite. None of these rights by existence steps on anyone else's. No one must alter their behavior in order to accommodate these rights. Thes rights by existence entitle you to nothing, not a damn thing. I should think that the actual reason for treating these rights as transcendent to...

Having rights granted by your creator is just a fancy way of saying that you have these rights by virtue of the fact that you exist. It neither implies nor denies the existence of the traditional Western bearded sky god that so many people have fun fiddling with. The point being that government...

Almost anything can be tucked inside of a bitmap. Diddling a bit or two here and there is impossible to detect visually and can contain all manner of code and data. The problem is that the receiving end has to have specific software installed and running in order to first know that something is...

I've been known to print a high contrast de-saturated image on the canvas. Especially on larger canvases. Mostly because I'm not a good draftsman. It doesn't help as much as you might think. If you were doing paint by numbers it would be OK but totally useless if you're using a ground coat and...

Not trying to mask anything. Trying to trace an image onto canvas using white carbon or graphite paper. I have the image on paper, I need to trace it onto the canvas with the acrylic coat already on it. Stick a piece of white transfer paper under the image on paper and trace away with a dull...

Does anyone know of a white transfer paper that actually works on a surface, canvas in this case, coated with acrylic artist's paints? I've tried a number of different brands and none, zero, work on this surface. They barely work on black Crescent board. Painting is sort of my avocation and I'm...

Providing a safe environment and assuring someone's personal safety are two entirely different things. The former the government often takes it upon themselves to attempt to insure, witness OSHA. The latter not so much. Here, unlike the movie 'Minority Report', someone cannot be arrested before...
