These are both extremely helpful posts, thank you!!!

I'm thinking of offering some sort of profit-sharing incentive for my team. Right now I'm thinking of perhaps 15% of our quarterly profits being set aside and split amongst the team. My hope is this will motivate them to take more pride in their work, to pressure each other to make less...

My installer said it feels like hard rubber underneath the wrinkles. Said he installed it in a thin layer using q-tips and as it dried these wrinkles appeared.

That was why the 3M training school taught my installers to use edge sealer, to try and prevent that. However, what I'm trying to figure out is why it caused the vinyl to wrinkle the way it did when it dried. This happened before the boat ever saw water, so it wasn't caused by moisture.

Good to know...we'll be redoing this so when we do, we'll be sure to trim a bit lower to avoid that.

We did a vinyl wrap on a boat and in 3M training we were taught to use their 3950 Edge Sealer to seal the edges to prevent moisture from getting underneath the wrap. However, as the Edge Sealer dried, it caused the vinyl to wrinkle as you see in the image below. Note: This wrinkling showed up...

March has been a great month for us and April is looking like it will be even better. However, I bought this company last April don't know whether every March/April is a great month or if this is an outlier. What months are the best for you guys (and gals)?

I was abou to figure out the specific clamp - S5N. https://www.s-5.com/products/clamps-brackets/s-5-n-clamps/s-5-n/ Hopefully they may be helpful for somebody else in the future as well. Thanks for the help!

Thank you!

We need to attach a sign to a roof with slats and the property owner has requested we do not put any holes in the new roof. I've attached a picture of how another tenant's sign is installed using a bracket that clamps onto the slats on the roof. I've also included another picture that shows...

This is extremely helpful, thank you. Do you happen to have a picture of the top down to show how the lumber connects to the bucket and how the sign is kept from the slipping off? I'm guessing this is pretty simple and straightforward, but it'd be helpful to see if you do happen to have a...

I recall seeing a thread where people showed pictures of how they attach 2x4s to the bottom of their buckets to hold the panels but I can't find the thread now. I'd love to see how you guys are lifting your large panels into the air for installation. Thank you in advance!

That's more or less how it came about. We're doing a bunch of work to rebrand a large facility and this was one of the items on the list as we've been working through things. However, I'm going to let them know we're not the right partner for this piece of the project...it's not worth the...

Thanks to some very helpful perspectives, like yours, I've decided to pass on this opportunity. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with me...thank you!

That seems to be the consensus. I'll either find somebody who specializes in this who will give me a finder's fee or just pass on the opportunity. Not enough to gain and too much to lose. Appreciate the feedback, thanks.

Here's the reality Gino - I don't claim to know as much as you or anybody else on this forum. However, to try to imply I make no effort to learn anything or get better is a far cry from the truth. Less than a year ago, I bought a failing sign shop that couldn't do anything more complex than...

Are you the type of person who is man enough to admit when you're wrong Gino? Or are you the type who refuses to believe they could ever be wrong about anything? I suspect the latter... Here's some examples of where I've done the very things you say I've never done (not even once, right?): I...

Not making fun of anybody...the responses some leave are the price of admission to asking the crazy questions I have, and I'm fine with that. For every crazy question I ask on here, there's a hundred other jobs we do where I don't need to ask anything. In a perfect world, I'd have come up as an...

Do you travel anywhere? That's likely what we'll end up doing.

I have an opportunity to do a vinyl wrap on a water tower and I'm trying to figure out how that would work logistically. I'll need to be about 200' in the air so a bucket truck won't be high enough. Obviously I'll take whatever safety precautions are necessary but I'd like to figure out how to...
