  1. How to affix a sign above an existing awning without a bucket truck?

    Rolling scaffold. If the awning is only 4' wide, a standard scaffold will easily span that.
  2. vinyl zapper- orange-ish marks

    Yep. Happens on most vehicles if you spend too much time in one spot. You're basically "melting" or burning the top coat of paint, whether it's the clear coat or not. Light touch and keep the wheel moving. Don't put the wheel up on edge either - always try to keep it flat.
  3. cutting coroplast

    Step shear, panel saw (multiple sheets at a time for one dimension, shear for the other).
  4. X3, crash and file loss

    :Big Laugh Yeah, sorry about that OP. Definitely one of those days. If I run across a Chuck Witty, I'll be sure to mention your name. GW, yeah, I tried that based on the Corel forum suggestion and that didn't work either - came back as an invalid archive. I'm running a system wide deleted file...
  5. X3, crash and file loss

    :banghead: See.. that's the kind of day I had. It's X5, not X3, version 15.2.0.695. Not sure if that makes a difference, O.P.?
  6. X3, crash and file loss

    Yeah, I think I'm screwed. Tried your suggestion, tried several that was on the Corel forum and even downloaded the 'CorelFix' demo and all came up saying there was no recoverable data. Perfect way to start off a week...
  7. X3, crash and file loss

    Up to my eyeballs with this damn program. Was working on a fairly complex file tonight and asked it to do outline a photo and the program crashes. No problem, it's done that before, except this time when I re-open the file there is nothing there. I check the autobackup, and that, too, is empty...
  8. anyone ever seen or used one of these? GT-120

    Seems like it would be fairly easy to build. Nice if you're doing installs by yourself, but past that it's just another tool. No guarantee of getting your stuff level, though, just using the suction cups - trailers aren't always level on the ground.
  9. Printer Issue please help ASAP

    Sounds like you need the maintenance station serviced or replaced. The nozzles are cross-contaminating from either a swollen pad or bad head adjustment. Cleaning the station won't help - you need to start replacing regular maintenance items.
  10. Epoxy fill for aluminum

    Yes, but after those crystals cool, will the resulting puddle still stick to the aluminum?
  11. Cocut or Signcut pro

    Depends what design software you're running. CoCut is meant to integrate with Corel. Been using that since version 3.
  12. Sign Shop Waste: Illusion of Ecology

    Recycle what you can. Cardboard goes to recycle here. Vinyl scraps get balled up as small as we can make 'em and tossed. Paints and inks, whatever is left over or waste, gets set into a container and brought to a buddy with a recycling condenser. He gets the solvents pulled out and I get a dry...
  13. Fire Engine Lettering

    Just for curiosity sake, why are you putting a laminate over a 5 year vinyl? I can see that on real gold leaf (that's how Pierce does their graphics) and printed SignGold... but a regular cast vinyl?
  14. pinstripe or cut vinyl

    ^ x3. Done that many times, especially if two of those three colors are reflective.
  15. How much compensation for a employee with zero experience/competency?

    Prevailing minimum wage, since it's the law unless you're in an industry that collects tips.
  16. Should USCUtter accept Bitcoin payments?

    Bitcoin is a fad. Sorry, I want cold hard cash in my hand... and the only thing I accept as virtual money is a credit card.
  17. Matthews Paint Crisis!

    How many coats of clear? Wet sanding a single or double coat might cut through if you're too aggressive. I'd try a simple machine cut and polish first.
  18. tileable Sticker bomb

    Talk to this guy: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?114581-Sticker-Bomb-vinyl-wrap-on-bike-fender-tail-and-gas-tank Must be a new term... 'sticker bomb'. Two posts with the same phrase in one day.
  19. Help: where is the cheapest place to buy sign vinyl?

    How serious are you about being in the industry, or are you just going to be selling Calvin stickers?
  20. How much to charge for vinyl install on glass doors?

    I was staying out of this until your last post, Colt. From that description, it could be a very easy layer job - three colors. You just have to know how to lay it out to do it effectively. And, I think, that was the jist of the entire thread, regardless of whom posted. You need to get some...
