  2. How to install a large piece of vinyl on lexan (polycarbonate) material?

    +1, sortof... I tape it down and cut into manageable sections, but I always apply wet on acrylic... There is so much static electricity that it will pull dirt from the far reaches of my shop. A little soapy water helps it go down so much more smoother. I spray the face, and the graphics, apply...

  4. 4' x 10' sign cabinets

    I have bought Sign Cabinets vandal faces before, but never their cabinets. I have never had an issue with their products, and customer service is top notch. (I had ordered a face from them once, gave them the measurements, and when they got in, they didn't fit. I double checked the info that I...
  5. Does anyone know anything about e-checks?

    I have a customer that referred me to order either of his customers for a sign removal. All I have is the customers email address, so I sent him a quote through email. On my quote, I stipulated that 1/2 down is required to start the job, and the balance would be due when the job is...

  7. Lighted Cabinet

    They are not UL. UL is a certification that is given to the sign shop, not the pieces. If you require UL, then you have to buy from a UL Listed shop, but if you don't need a UL cabinet, this is the way to go. If you build it correctly, ie. Ballast on the top of the cabinet, all the...

  10. Gold leaf from Thailand

    That is the correct percentages that make it 23K. The prices are a little higher than my supplier. My supplier is http://www.framemasters1969.com/23-karat/ fyi, and they sell double weight, which is 3 3/8" sq, and "single weight", which is 3 1/8" square.
  11. Why the frack would anyone pay $32k for a domain.

    I can't imagine paying that...but it's paid for by people with a lot more money than sense.... I bought my domain from a retired sign maker in another state, and I feel like I got a steal at $150.

  13. Is Avery T-1500 reflective vinyl any good?

    +1. I got burned by Avery reflective years ago, and I won't even entertain the idea of using Avery reflective. I would much rather use 3M or Oracal.
  14. Gold leaf from Thailand

    Can you post what your looking at. I would have to read more of a description to accurately give any advice. And I checked my supplier, and that's not too bad of a price.... remember, if they want gold, they have to pay for it. I bought some from eBay, and it wasn't a leaf like I had...
