Part time now after being in the business of making signs and pictorials since 1972. Started as a hired silkscreen guy and got into calligraphy, hand brush lettering and picture work while still in college at Pasadena, CA. The place was called Dalco in Temple City. The family name was Dale...

Exactamundo my brother! :thumb:

Todd, Do you REALLY think that 3M is going to recommend in writing something THEY haven't developed? The answer is no. And of course, even the IDEA of installing something WET just sounds so anti-adhesion....about 100% of the time to folks in that business. You see, they have about the...

But, Bob, when the rest of the world is mediocre....don't ya know it's easier to pick on the truly lame? :tongue:

Wth? What is the deal here? You can get 'em all day long at SignCraft. https://www.signcraft.com/secure/cart/items.asp?cat=7 Oh....and make sure you pick up a copy of his Sho-cards too! :thumb: ~G.

Here, here!! Exactly my experience with the book as well. I knew him and visited his spot at the drug store in San Jose before he moved out to work with John Cox at ThoroughGraphics in Kentucky. :beer :thumb: I will confess something to you guys though. If you buy a copy of his...

Wow...that's the oddest thing Rep.....when I click on your link here it gets me to the page....but askes me to login. Wha the hay....??

I like going dry on most applications that have smaller than 3 or 4" letters. And, btw, I'm a "center-hinger" for everything. Large panels of vinyl like "Frosted or Dusted Crystal" and Scotchlite® will ALWAYS require wet application on glass and most very smooth glossy surfaces like...

Yes RJ....those are some very nice folk...oh...and don't forget my Hanford bud Clint. He even brought a roll of vinyl by my house one Friday night after he got off work in Fresno. He doesn't normally do that, but, he knew that I needed it really bad for a Saturday gig. :wink: ~Gear

I said the exact same words once about 10 years ago over a "billing/material issue". But I came running back to 'em anyhow down here. Good people who keep their word....run this office. :wink:

Just want to ditto the other posts.....and state the "closest thing" in a provided "font" is the best you can hope for when it comes to real sign painting :wink:. Happy hunting! :thumb: ~Gear

First of all, thanks for your service in the military. :thumb: Thinking of the "ethics" of doing any job "on the side" while doing it for your day job is a proper moral attitude. Because, there are those who you will work for that would take GREAT offense at you doing the trade on the...

Is this what you need....or am I interpreting incorrectly? ~Gear

Inspector Gadget Squeegee I'm sorry, it's a "no" for me. Three things bother me about this deal: 1.) I can almost guarantee you I would be the FIRST one to cut the crap outa my finger tip on that blade.....or have the Xacto protector cap fail and allow the knife to fall out of the...

Okay Rep.....now we got a PARTY ....well we will have when Cheryl shows up. LOL Maybe all of us could actually figure out this guy's font he's looking for. Maybe? :tongue:

Okay Rob! :thumb: I get the last one. LOL

Naw.....my back went out the other day. Sorry ol friend! Maybe I'll get up there and meet you at Kelly's for a cool one! Drown our sorrows and tell war stories....:tongue: (you do know where they got that name don't you?) :wink:

Ya know Rex, I do believe this is a hand made sign/calligrapher's font. Why don't we just get out our #4 quills and letter it for him? You might be able to get your job back. :tongue: ~Gear

I dunno.....Here's your shot. I thought as the other guys at first too. And then I typed out Papyrus on top and University on bottom. Could be neither. Could be just one of a thousand off-shoot bastardized versions of a hand done Roman of some sort. (just an old sign painter's random...

Amen to what Rick said and I'll throw in another one I've used for many years. I've used Canvas by Deneba since 3.0. It's a great program for the money. They have some nice templates for brochures (and other stationery products) It has the basics of Illustrator and PhotoShop all in one...
