  1. Vinyl Cutter for High Volume Stencil Production

    The Graphtec will be cheaper and cut faster but in the long run the Gerber will be more accurate and more reliable. Love....Jill
  2. Show quality

    Ok back to the topic. Like Firesprint said, if you want to make a name for yourself doing something like this, go for it. You'll more than likely have a steady stream of these types of jobs if word gets out that you're that good. But like tsgstl says, sounds like a high maintenance customer who...
  3. Show quality

    I wouldn't do it. It's just not worth it. Love...Jill
  4. Ohhhhh, what a night......................

    http://pureromance.com/ Their "Kiss" body spray smells sooo nice.
  5. Gliding....

    You may be suffering from SAD...seasonal whatever its called disorder. My late sister got this every winter and she would be OK again by spring. My entire life the past while has just felt like I was coasting along (mainly due to having to get a real job, it's depressing) but I do try to get...
  6. Ohhhhh, what a night......................

    If you're my friend on FB or if you ever hear some of my saucy remarks you might think I'm a wild woman. But I'm really not. I'm actually quite prudish at times. I was never more embarrassed (of other women) than the time I went to one of these things. My good friend hosted it and my adult...
  7. Full window vinyl install...

    That looks great, Watson. :) Love....Jill
  8. No Parking sign

    Please put a period on Dr. or else spell it out. (assuming that it is for a Doctor?) Use a simple sans serif font such as arroyo. Plain black on white will have more effect than a plethora of colors. Love....Jill Here's a black and white 24"x36" I did the other day.
  9. Experience and thoughts Needed

    I would use it as a learning experience and next time (even though it's not your job) make sure to ask the client if he has all his bases covered; permits, permissions etc. Thankfully this client was not an @sshole, just the landlord. In my township, there are a lot of sign types which are not...
  10. Sandblasting price

    About 20 years ago it was $75/sq. foot but I haven't done one in 20 years. Love....Jill
  11. Just joined

    Hello from PA. I'm not a pinstriper but I love hanging out with them. I can hand letter. Love....Jill
  12. How do you convince people...

    I run into this as well. If you are at the store, in front of it, looking at the sign...you do not need the address! Perhaps a nice street number on the door glass or transom. Also hate when they insist on LLC being as big as the rest of the wording. I will sometimes allow them to put the phone...
  13. Some input please.

    I would not use two different 3D/chisel fonts in the same layout. I would make the tiger on the left top panel so it's looking into the layout not away. Is he supposed to be in an oval or a circle? He looks distorted. And the lines under the soccer ball in the left option look like a camel...
  14. Barn sign

    I like that a lot. I do think there is a whorehouse font. (came across it somewhere) Love...Jill
  15. frosted hell.

    I also apply large panels wet, I use Rapid Tac 2 and have not had any issues. I never saw anything like that, it looks like whatever you used froze. I do little stuff dry when using glass etch but no way on big stuff. Love....Jill
  16. Transfer Mask Not Holding Frosted Vinyl

    I hate to recommend it but have you tried the clear transfer tape for frosted glass? (absolutely hate to use this stuff and you must apply dry with it) Could you ask your supplier for a small sample of a few different brands of transfer tape? There are different grades of "tack". I've had...
  17. Vinyl as a stencil

    Don't ever use the white Gerber masking, it is just awful to work with. I don't mind the Oracal masking but I still hate painting with a mask. Avery mask "melts" with hotter paints.
  18. Vinyl as a stencil

    I have used vinyl as a stencil, you just have to pull it up real quick. It can leave glue residue sometimes. The plywood could not be raw or the wood would splinter and the paint bleed. Would have to be primed then painted with oil based paint, then left to cure for a few days or the vinyl/paint...
  19. 4x4' rent signs

    I think John used to be Scarface. He'll be back.
  20. Trifold brochure

    I like it better black (it never occurred to me to suggest it!) Definitely lose the much much more. Do AM and PM rather than a.m. and p.m. Don't abbreviate Mon-Fri. Other than that it's worlds better. I would also capitalize the secondary words in your laundry list rather than having just the...
