  4. Just how durable is a floor graphic?

    I have a customer that sent me a pic of what is being used in a sister plant...all I can tell from the pic is that it looks like yellow vinyl with a black print, but you can see heavy wear on them. I don't think it has a floor laminate on them. I was wondering if floor laminate is strong...

  11. I feel like I get electrocuted everytime i run composite aluminum through laminator

    I had 3 more sheets to laminate this morning and tried using the blue rubber disposable gloves. As uncomfortable as it is to wear them, it worked and I never got a zap once. I did notice on one panel when I took out my Olfa to trim an edge, the biggest blue spark jump out through the material...
  12. I feel like I get electrocuted everytime i run composite aluminum through laminator

    On top of that, many times while laminating or even taking sheeted laminates off the table behind the laminator, you can hear these snapping sounds emanating from the table itself. Scary back there I tell ya!!! Maybe a pair of big rubber gloves would stop that awful feeling. Some days it...
  13. what do you think of this method to cut aluminum composite

    What I really like using this method over the saw is that you don't get all those mouse turd black crap everywhere in the shop
  14. what do you think of this method to cut aluminum composite

    Ever since seeing that video, that is now how I do it. Some aluminums are thicker and may require several passes with the knife. Also you have to be careful as sometimes the bent edge can turn up a bit looking a little ugly. I solved that problem by finding one of those little 4" rollers...

  16. I feel like I get electrocuted everytime i run composite aluminum through laminator

    I feel like waterboarding possibly would be a nicer feel than the electrocution I seem to get whenever I run Composite aluminum through the laminator. Not just a shock, but almost like a pin ***** mixed with a shock is being inserted into my hand. It has to be one of the most annoying...
  17. why would a city spec gatorboard for simplistic info signs

    gatorfoam is about 8-10 times as much for a disposable sign.....
  18. why would a city spec gatorboard for simplistic info signs

    I have a client who sent me a spec from the city, which is probably so far out of date...in any case they are 18 x 24 inch signs that get nailed to areas of construction explaining something related to not storing hazardous materials near the trees. I have done these signs many times over...
  19. Can I sell these legally?

    As far as I am concerned it is just type, so I would do it, besides, that car has to be 15 years old and you probably couldn't buy it from a dealership anyhow. Take me away in handcuffs, fine with me
