  1. Need a printed sign

    I recommend getting it local, it costs an arm and a leg to ship. I am sure someone within 30 minutes of you has a flatbed or hybrid printer, if not a sign shop than a printing company, silk screen company or similar.
  2. Question Making mounting template for Acrylic sign with studs

    I actually just did this with 1/2" acrylic, sign is 168" X 104" so quite huge. 1. Figure out which studs you are going to use. For me I used 1/4-20 X 3". 2. Get a tap and die for that size stud. Also a drill bit with it. 3. Make your artwork at scale and randomly place dots where you want them...
  3. Need Help Need help with welding clear acrylic to colored acrylic for a LED sign

    I kind of like the bubble effect, but those should be push thru acrylic letters. When you are getting into adhesive welding, look at 3M's Jet Weld system. Edit: It's like hot glue, but for welding and is industrial strength
  4. Press Operators, how much do you pay them?

    There are only a few in NYC on this forum, so you may be waiting a long time for an answer. Instead look at the helpful answers of other people. I know New York pretty well, a lot of my family lives there, my wife is from there, I visit once in a while. I've seen various prices of many things...
  5. Here is a great tip for you guys

    But seriously, some insurance companies will drop your rates with it and when it comes to taxes, the mileage helps make it go faster. When it comes to firing an employee and they file for unemployment, you can win the case with proof. Just throwing it out there.
  6. Here is a great tip for you guys

    I don't know if this is available everywhere, but ZTE makes a device called Cruise Connect. I have US Cellular and they only charge $10/month for it. Here is just a few things it does. -Fully tracks the vehicles route by google maps, shows where it left from, where it stopped, which roads it...
  7. So how strong is this adhesive? LOL

    Those are the days you just want to hang up the for sale sign on the door, lock up and go home.
  8. This is a new one to me

    I'll go back and see what I can find out
  9. Tap and Die Question

    That is an idea, but at $5 for the tap, I might as well buy it
  10. Tap and Die Question

    I can't do a through hole, it's separate letters and a routed graphic and all, like 30 pieces. All local stores only have taper, so I ordered a bottom one on Amazon
  11. Tap and Die Question

    I am putting in a 1/4-20 tap into 1/2" acrylic that is 3/8" deep. I've tried using a cone shaped tap and it's got too much of a taper on it, so after research apparently I need a bottoming tap. Amazon carries a set of 3 taps, one of which is bottoming, but I don't think I need the other two...
  12. Looking for a "good" X-Acto knife?

    I only use retractable knives, they have never broken or failed me. The kind I get are Alvin SN200, see below. They have metal and not all plastic...
  13. Question Best source for standard cut vinyl graphics?

    Well if I had more details like the artwork and if it's printed and contour cut or just four different single color cut vinyls. Then I would quote you, but I can't give you a quote without that and can't recommend any shops to go to unless I know they are capable of it.
  14. This is a new one to me

    That would be easier, but apparently this is going inside a restaurant?
  15. Another spelling mistake

    It says "the sign was spelled correctly on the proof" which is interesting, how in the world did it get changed? I always send my proof files to production.
  16. How much?

    If you get 10 signs out of a sheet that is good. Average around here is $12.75 each for double sided at 100 signs.
  17. Discussion Police car graphics gone bad

    Wet apply would mold, not destroy the graphics.
