  1. Spraying Latex

    We are starting to change over to water based paint and recently tried the Benjamin Moore aura. Shot it with one of the cheap harbor freight gravity feed hvlp guns and it came out awesome. It sprays and levels nothing like their other latex paints. I did thin it a little but I don't know that I...
  2. Painting pressure treated wood white

    Vinyl sleeves or what Gino is suggesting.
  3. Bathroom supplies.............................

    Maybe paint the area where the stripe is going to go with a higher gloss paint?
  4. Tractor Train Wreck!!

    Your "friend" was very lucky.
  5. Gravity fed sprayer?

    Depends what your doing some of the harbor freight guns aren't bad. Devilbiss, Binks are good ones. A pancake compressor isn't going to flow enough air, check the guns for cfm at the psi you need for the gun. You will be surprised how big of a compressor you will need.
  6. Bondo Alumalite Edges?

    Bondo is a bad idea I can't imagine it would stick too well, use one of the solid core materials and save yourself the time and grief.
  7. large HDU install questions

    You don't need to back up a wall mounted sign that size and thickness. If you want to use studs drill oversize holes in the hdu and use epoxy to hold the studs in.
  8. epson gs6000 printing on polyethylene = watercolor prints

    Pretty much like the wiki says not much sticks to polyethylene. For painting, gluing and applying vinyl you can heat treat the material with a torch, just a few quick passes is supposed to help adhesion. Not sure if that would help with what you are doing or not.
  9. Question about paint...

    Let a body shop do the painting. If your not sure what kind of paint to use your in over your head.
  10. 4x8 sign foam sign installation

    Your asking the forum what your artwork represents? How did you price it if you don't know how it was going to be constructed or painted?
  11. Need tips on HDU

    The first one you make shouldn't be for a customer practice on your own stuff first. Just because they are more expensive doesn't mean that they are higher margin. They take alot more time, knowledge and equipment to do them right.
  12. Play the kerning game

    97 lowest was an 89 and about 4 100's.
  13. Sign hangers

    That's the kind of hanger I'm looking for but for the thinner material.
  14. Sign hangers

    Does anybody sell the sign hangers that are used on MDO in smaller 1/8"or 1/4" sizes for dibond type material?
  15. How far South....................

    For as long as I can remember you could only get fountains, sparklers and that kind of stuff. Nothing that shoots(bottle rockets, roman candles, mortars .etc) or blows up (firecrackers, m80s .etc). Gino I looked at the Keystone website again maybe they don't have the Really good stuff but better...
  16. How far South....................

    Gino a Keystone fireworks opened up along rt 30 in Lancaster recently. According to their sign and web site they have the good stuff, but I'm not sure how since that stuff isnt legal. I have not been in it yet. It's up the street from the Rockvale outlets.
  17. reflective paint

    We tried the reflective rustoleum, don't waste your money. Glass beads are what they use on the street markings. The beads come in different sizes from about a powder size on up. They needs to be put on top of the wet paint. Kind of like doing smalts.
  18. How to shut off Windows updates?

    Go to control panel, system and security, windows update. That's for windows 7 other versions should be similar.
  19. Routing ACM to second layer

    Use a straight router bit 1/8" 1/4" whatever fits your project. I don't think there is any way to do a clean out and not get machining marks. Some bits may be better than others but nothing is going to leave it perfectly smooth.
  20. Looking for cabinet

    We are looking for a supplier that does enclosed changeable letter cabinets. 30"x60" two sided not lighted. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
