  1. Thoughts on Geek Wraps - wrap roller tools?

    I use a really cheap medium foam brayer and it works better than the rolle pro. It's smoother finish doesn't leave an imprint on the vinyl if it gets too warm and doesn't disintegrate leaving tiny black pieces of foam on the vinyl with heat either. Just personal preference, but reinventing the...
  2. How often do you all calibrate your machines?

    I've had my Roland for over 4 years...never calibrated it. Moved it 3 times. Never replaced a head. Only recently replaced the caps. I let the automated cleaning do it's job and if hair & stuff gets on the head and creates drips...I manually clean it off. Changed the wipers a couple times. I...
  3. peforated vinyl recomendation

    That's dirt cheap for PERF....BUT I was taken by surprise when I saw something on your product listing. It says to apply the perf wet. I've NEVER even thought about installing perf wet...anybody else install perf wet?
  4. Laminator leaving Zig-Zag pattern

    A few years ago when I used A Daige to laminate...that happened. Here's what I found out it was...and the fix. The pressure on the sides twist the soft grey foam roller on the bottom a little while leaving the middle of it the same. A) you can buy a new bottom roller & replace. B) you can take...
  5. Arial vs Helvetica

    Missed Mattel...it was a toss up on that one..I just guessed. I think if you got that one right...you basically got the 50/50 guess right. There are no defining characters on it. Are we dorks yet?
  6. What do you charge?

    I'm not open 30 days a month. (doesn't mean I'm not here lol) So you don't short change yourself, you need to divide the first number by 20 M-F or 24 if you are open Saturdays. Those work days need to produce that hourly shop rate.
  7. Wrap Certifications. Is it worth it?

    The first 4 words of your post pretty much sum it up. Kicked around many times on this forum.
  8. Lance Armstrong doped....

    Nobody is saying he's the "bane of the earth." They are commenting on how horrible it was though given the scope of his influence and the cause. Is that not acceptable to condemn? I don't see why you have a problem with it.
  9. Awesome!

    Question: I despise that group. But aren't hate groups protected in the United States of America? They expressing joy about deaths but are not telling any person or group in particular to kill. They are interpreting God's word in a manner that they believe says he takes joy in deaths. Do they...
  10. Lance Armstrong doped....

    Nobody is perfect. But for those of you who hand out excuses by saying "everyone does it" is doing a disservice to the many who don't. There ARE people with integrity and class and jealousy has a way of rearing it's face against such people. Yes some good can come from bad. A closet pimp could...
  11. Strange print cut problem SP540-V

    Do you leave your pinch rollers down when not in use? I've had to replace 2 different wheels over the past year due to slight warping. Once replaced...tracked perfectly. Take a look at your wheel closest to the carriage while it's up. Does it look a tiny bit slanted? If so...there you have it.
  12. went to Duck Commander AKA Duck Dynasty

    Actually it's because of his antics you know it's fake. They purposely write situations in for him to say off the wall things. Of course the camera is aimed at him every time he says something, because it's planned. Just watch the Xmas episode where he is "santa's elf helper". The interactions...
  13. Never done a wrap

    So this woman wants her hair and makeup done for her wedding. I've never done hair or makeup before...not even a little. How much should I charge her to do it and should I try to do it by myself or work with a professional salon? Kinda makes the question sound stupid when it's put like that...
  14. Heat wand

    Being VERY comfortable with the torch...I use it for everything BUT post heating.
  15. Roland or third party wipers?

    Been using both Roland and 3rd party wipers. Hasn't made a difference yet.
  16. frosted hell.

    Mac Tac B-Free Dry application...No Problems if skilled installer. Other non-egress vinyls...baby shampoo & water.
  17. frosted hell.

    I've done way larger dry. No spooge in my vinyl.
  18. How do you convince people...

    Everyone around here wants the area code in front of the phone number...but the area code covers a bazillion counties so if it's called Lexington Plumber I'm pretty sure they'll assume the phone number is for the Lexington area code.
  19. Non-Commercial Wraps

    Other than a few Camo Pickup trucks or stripes...we don't get most non-commercial callers willing to pay for a fun looking car.
  20. Heat wand

    Pretty sure you would void some vinyl manufacturer warranties on installation if you admitted you used a torch instead of heat gun. Post heating with torch ...ehhhh
