  1. Purchasing a Roland-BN20. Any advice?

    I'm betting 24" was too close to their SP and VS 300" in size and were afraid they would loose a more profitable sale.
  2. Do you really need a phone # on your sign?

    I don't think they are necessary either. In Kansas City, most of the suburbs didn't allow a PH#. With signs limited to 10% of the storefront, 95% of the business owners never asked. I did a google drive down one of the streets in your town and there appears to be very few sign ordinances. At...

    I wouldn't think he would need to worry about chips, the wall is textured and the strokes on the 18" letters will cover up any small chips.
  10. Mounting Gemini letters on granite

    Sometimes it is more accurate to start with a smaller bit on textured walls. The larger bits tend to walk more when starting the holes. Also bring a larger" bit for the few misaligned holes that won't allow the letter to sit flush. If you have a leaf blower, bring it. They work good for...

    If you or your customers are having trouble getting old dry erase marker off a dry erase board or dry erase laminate, use a dry erase marker to scribble over the area you need to clean then wipe it off. The solvent in the marker will dissolve the residue.

    I installed some second surface graphics that had a light background and big dark text on old storefront windows. The large black text with the light background created some hot spots with the summer sun and one window cracked. The window could have been compromised before the graphics were...
