  1. Truck tool box

    I got a Toyota Tacoma, one of the selling features is a built in converter right in the bed of the truck! Moze- That is quite the arsanal of tools! I'm a bit envious!
  2. Truck tool box

    I just got a new work truck and it has a lockable storage area under the rear seats. I was thinking of using it to store all those tools that you seem to forget when you are on an install. What are some of the tools that you guys always seem to leave at the shop when you are out doing an...
  3. troublesome customer - how would you handle it?

    Not here, that would get a customer thrown out of my shop, forcefully if needed. There is no excuse to loose your cool, totally unprofessional. I don't need the money badly enough to put up with that BS. We had 2 brothers come in a few years ago, they would start yelling at the tinest...
  4. SP540V stops mid-print

    Had this happen on our roland a few months ago, it was a damaged encoder strip and sensor, replaced both and it was good as new
  5. Reel pro with edge fx

    I do unattended printing with our Edge without a take up, just let it bunch up, never had an issue.
  6. Beer Label Design

    I saw it as a hop straight off the bat and I think that anyone who has any interest in craft beer would as well.
  7. Not really sign related

    I was wondering if someone could either explain or point me to a how to online. We are in the process of painting the deck on the front of our house, my wife is having a hard time picking the right color. Is there an easy way to take a photo of the house & deck into Corel and be able to change...
  8. Lowest Cost Printable True Cast Vinyl?

    While not labeled for printing, you can still print on oracal 751 or Avery sc900 vinyl.
  9. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    Our town is situated on an old riverbed, there is no such thing as virgin soil here! the pounder does a pretty good job getting through it, I can only think of a handful of times that i've had to abandon a location and try again, if the rock is small enough, the pounder will be able to push it...
  10. not an issue but an observation about a supplier

    Didn't you say that this particular supplier recently had a long time staff member leave them? could it be a matter of the person taking the order didn't know about your "agreement"?
  11. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    I would still be on site with them, the asphault sealers around here are sketchy as hell, i wouldn't trust them to do a good job...
  12. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    we bought one of these about 3 years ago when we got a job to install 30 parking signs, it puts a post 4 feet in the ground in about a minute, even through asphault. We used to have a manual post pounder, but I decided to treat my back and arms! http://www.skidril.com/g20d.htm
  13. Thousands of tiny bubbles in a trailer wrap?

    From the way your post was worded it sounded like you had someone install it, I didn't know it was you installing yourself, then I would agree with Fred, contact the trailer dealer and see if they can think of anything. Are you able to get the trailer back for a few days and try a panel of...
  14. I need a slick method of laminating vinyl to aluminum sheet

    We have both, the roll laminator hasn't been used in well over a month, if I can do it on the rolls roller, I do, so much easier and faster!
  15. Thousands of tiny bubbles in a trailer wrap?

    first off, IJ40 is the wrong material for the job, if a cast vinyl isn't in the budget, I would go with something like AutoMark by general formulations, it works very well on trailers and handles rivets quite well. Saying that, the issue you have here doesn't look to be a material issue, I...
  16. Am I being unreasonable?

    Sorry I forgot to mention in the OP, I'm not buying Avery's explanation, the walls were fine, it's a hospital, the paint on the walls has been there for a minimum of 5 years, and it was painted by a painting contractor, so I think it's safe to assume that all prep work was followed. the vinyl...
  17. Am I being unreasonable?

    I bought a roll of Avery 2611 wall film a few months ago, I've used the product in the past with good results. I printed some temporary posters for a client of mine to be installed temporarily on drywall, they were up for about 2 months then they removed them. When they removed the vinyl, it...
  18. Elevator Door Graphics

    We did about 15 for a local hospital about 4 years ago, printed on AutoMark, laminated with a 2 mil semigloss laminate, they are still holding up great, they are a bit banged up from the gourneys and wheelchairs on the bottom, but not too bad, there was some vandalism on one of the doors in an...
  19. Real Estate signage challenge

    Standard U-Channel parking sign posts pound through asphalt very easily, I would use those and attach the sign directly to them. That would be your least expensive option, and if I know 1 thing about real estate agents, it's that they LOVE cheap!
  20. air purifier

    Water also rusts metal in a matter of days, hours even, I should stop injesting such a harmful substance!
