Yes, this was no pre-pasted. We used a bucket of glue from Sherwin Williams to apply it. Yes, that was definitely a no-no that my installers went right over the old but we didn't want any more time in it than we had and now it's biting us.

So, here's my dilemma. We installed wallpaper for a client in their salon that they provided to us. They ordered it from a company in the UK. Material was garbage, as soon as the glue would touch it or any moisture, it would shrink up. It was extremely thin as well. So it didn't line up very...

Everyone's got their opinions, that's just life right? Facts are facts and I'm getting the job and going to do it how I want because it will work. I'll post pics when it's done and you can laugh all you want then.

Yes sir!

We could hire you to come out and do it. I see your quite a ways from me but could be a possibility.

Ah yes, I didn't think of using the bodyguard knives for this. We use them all the time in the shop.

Definitely not frantic. I do know my business, but I certainly don't make 150' stencils everyday so it's new territory. My company will install the stencil on the roof and handle all of that part. I like the banner idea but trying to trim out a banner on a roof without damaging the roof...

Exactly. Thank you for understanding! I don't usually post on forums because whatever you say gets ripped apart, no matter what.

I was told it has a very slight slope but mostly flat overall.

We can charge more, I'm just throwing that number out there as a starting point. I understand square footage cost and time. Trying to gauge the right process and material.

Lol to you. What's the problem??

We are bidding on a project that will display a client's logo and website, all one color,(black) on a huge flat roof of a brand new building. They client is near the airport so they are proposing this to be approximately 25' tall x 150' wide. It scales pretty close to that. The text alone is...

Yes, that's the way to go except when you are out doing estimates and don't have your lift/bucket with you. When using a ladder and you're up 15'-20', you cannot pull a 5'x10' sign out safely.

Is there a general formula for a sign cabinet retainer to get the true dimension of the sign face you are changing out? When I measure them, I measure the whole cabinet then subtract about 1/2" from each side to give a little bit of play for the sign face to fit properly in the retainers of the...

Yes, you can buy these used parts from this store on eBay. http://www.ebaystores.com/plottermaster I had to buy the same part earlier this year. Best to call them 1(469)608-9747

I'm thinking you are correct. Is it really worth a few thousand dollars when you end up possibly having to re-do it? Then it becomes minus thousands. The clients are 2 artists so that's why they are the way they are.

LOL, so true! I couldn't even take time off when both of my children were born. They came early both times so couldn't plan a round it. My wife was pissed but what am I supposed to do. I don't have anyone competent enough to handle the clients or day to day operations at my shop for more than a...

So we have been asked to print and install a 10'x30' wall mural with no overlaps at all. This is something I've never had a customer request and I have not installed anything that didn't have an overlap. I told the client that the industry standard is 1/2" overlap but we could do 1/4". He said...

I used to hand laminate with the big squeegee when I first started out. I had good luck with Oraguard 210 and 215 going over 3651RA and 3551RA. Any calendared films worked pretty decent. Cast was always difficult and anything over 72', forget it. I got good at this method but after lots of...

Yes this particular contract includes an inspection of the machine to make sure it's up to snuff. Normally that's $399 but they will wave that just for me.
