Tell them to letter their truck like a real contractor, lol. Lots of places down here you won't get past a guard shack with a set of magnets. The other side of it is a lot of HOA's will not let you park a commercial marked vehicle at your home. Or your boat for that matter.

If you're not not a licensed contractor in our area, no permit. State license will do. Now there is a county south of us that we all just stay away from. Rich idiots looking to get richer running it. A few years back I entertained the thought of going down there and qualifying. They wanted me to...

ZEP spray bottles seem to last quite some time for me.

cut your own.

Try a thicker panel

It could damage paint on vehicles very easily but it does work. Old and I mean old trick. On glass it's not so much of a big deal. Personally I would use the thinner, newspaper, razor and elbow grease.

Always keep the slip sheets. Even if they are cured still good practice. Remove upon install. I usually stack back to back slip sheet to front, back to back, etc. Unless you have it in writing from printer that it was ok to remove slips it's all you. Shame some dipstick in the warehouse gave you...

Stomp shear. For that you could probably get a small cheap one for harbor freight and do it yourself from now on in shop.

I would get some wallpaper adhesive and a sample of some paper from where you get the adhesive and test it. If that was succesfull I would think figure the time it takes versus the time it takes to mount PSA and adjust my price accordingly.

I kept a seiko and two epsons going for ten years. Both gone now and don't do enough digital any more to justify new ones. Happier without them to be honest. Still, it was nice being able to squirt out anything I wanted right when I wanted it.

Backatcha.

I blast granite tiles for our local Am Legion Hall Memorial Wall. I use iron oxide (80 grit) and a cheap pin gun from harbor freight. I have a very old blast box. I use a double layer of cheap, old, calendered vinyl cut on my graphtec. Ocassionally for very special charity events I have produced...

We have one as well. Thought it was a bit pricey but it is a great tool.

Cheapies. I use the solid felt half moons as well.

Play with your cell on my time you get all the time in the world for it afterwards. Because you will be unemployed.

Told her some people are too cheap to pay me to install and just pay me for stickers and install themselves. She was seriously trashed and stunk to high heaven of cigarettes. Actually stopped in the shop just to ask that when she saw our sign by the road. Life's walking wounded Pop used to call...

Kind of a different horse but you should have just been in the warehouse with me. Some random female walks in looking around, when I ask if I can help her she asks me why some vehicle lettering she sees out on the streets is crooked and some straight. Then she asks for directions to the VA...

Aluminum composite material, or acrylic comp material, as well as about a hundred other names depending on who is selling it.

Once you find someone with the equipment to do it that is willing to do wholesale for you make sure to ditch all those horrible outlines around every stitch of text that somebody's teenage graphic artist put on that sign. ;-)
