  1. Mounting 4x8 to block wall

    me too. Use plenty of deep concrete screws. No problem.
  2. how critical are you of yourself, others?

    I try and do my best for the equipement , time and materials that I have but there's plenty of times when it's good enough. I have part time people when I need them , but I treat them like gold. If they want to work, I work around their schedules . If they've never done something before, I...
  3. Wooden Signs

    You'd have to go with something thick. I've went with styrene before with "meh" results. Spray adhesive to the back and a couple of uses but in the end you have a sticky mess. Also, everything ends up looking like you're spray painting military crates. You'd only be able to use font that are...
  4. Mounting 4x8 to block wall

    Why not standoffs? If it were me, I'd request to double up on your allowed holes in the wall. If you need to make some holes, make sure they look nice. I just finished something similar and we used 3/4" standoffs with a hole in the acrylic twice the size. thought this would be enough for...
  5. MAD URGENT!!! I missed a big dead line.

    This is common sense. If you're printing on clear and can't print white, how can you expect to get white? Print and cut using regular white vinyl , apply to clear film or apply directly to window.
  6. Pontoon Boat

    I just measured one. thinking its around 130 sq ft. My quote was half of darlak, but the panels were new and not installed yet ( no rivets, flat panels. )
  7. Logo design comparisons

    Is that Mistral? I like 2 and 3 as long as you replace that font. One of Steve's would fit perfectly.
  8. Way off topic but who has some advise

    http://premierskylights.com/solectric-day-light-system/solectric-shed-pack-solar-lighting-system We have a lot of amish out this way and they all get by the "electricity is the devil" by using solar and batteries. They also have cell phones charged by generators. Is 'the devil' the grid...
  9. copper metallic paint

    Thanks for the options everyone!
  10. copper metallic paint

    I have a customer that I'm working with that is requesting copper metallic type of paint for longterm letters. Would be applied to aluminum. Hand brushed or automotive sprayed doesn't matter, but they're wanting longterm . I'm a bit stumped.
  11. Shop Truck Wrap

    :banghead:
  12. Best way to join 2 pieces of HDU for long sign?

    Customer "requirements" are usually made by someone who doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. I just had some specs thrown to me by the customer and while it was doable, it wasn't feasible. For their one quote request, I gave three. A. What they wanted B. What they needed...
  13. Shop Truck Wrap

    Looks like ProWraps from a couple of years ago.
  14. Sad news

    I reluctantly know all of their songs by heart.
  15. New Website & Shameless Self Promotion

    Its like the boxes are linked, but the text is not.
  16. New Website & Shameless Self Promotion

    on firefox. When I mouse over your menu, they highlight and looks like they're ready to hyperlink, but when I move back they are not hyperlinked. Change that... When I'm going from side to side, they are unclickable, but when I approach from the bottom, they're ok.
  17. QR codes - please weigh in

    Scan Me! Wont's scan. Besides the bevel, you can't put your picture over a quarter of the code and still expect it to work.
  18. 200 drafts - then a chance at the contract?

    That's funny. I also like the "mathew mconaughey can't stand up"
  19. Just starting...

    you are in the used market for that coin... and that's even on the low end. Check ebay and craigslist.
  20. QR codes - please weigh in

    I just saw one locally that a realtor used on one of their signs. Apparently whoever made the sign thought the code didn't have enough *bling* so they photoshopped drop shadow and a ridiculous bevel on the code, like each block was almost white on the highlight side. I didn't try it, but...
