    This guys a little sloppy but you get the idea...use a scissor, don't tear it or you get little paper fibers on the letters. And you can do wet apply, just spray the decals and the poly.

  5. Question Shopvox Alternative

    You should have a hand receipt book for emergencies. I've had no internet a couple times so either they trust you to email the receipt later or you use your receipt book then email later.
  6. Large Vinyl Install advise

    As others said, use premask and the center hinge method, wet apply. What a mess without premask...I don't understand that.

  8. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    Thanksgiving is cancelled for my family also. Parents are staying in Florida and my sister and I are doing our own thing. Gun season starts tomorrow so Thanksgiving depends on if they fill all their tags or not. In my perfect world this includes all the boys home (love) and hunting, me preparing...

    I'm guessing you a sewer and this happened at home? I've done the same thing with my sewing mat LOL
  10. We have a vaccine

    That lock down BETTER NOT happen. We might be essential but who will be spending money? I don't think he can lock the country down just Trump can't "unlock it". It's mostly up to the governors in each state. However, if states go along with this lock down crap, it will definitely affect our...
  11. We have a vaccine

    I really don't agree with your vaccine idea, however, I'm not getting it regardless. This does get me thinking about The Great Reset. I read about this a while ago and just saw Tucker was talking about it again last night. I've had a couple business people talk to me about preparing to "get a...
  12. Discussion What is different?

    There's a lot of opportunities in our business. During these pandemic times I see just how important it is to be diversified. My friend in the town over has a screen printing business. 90% of her business had come from the schools...not a good time for that right now. It's a good idea now more...
  13. Cash N Carry vs Install

    Follow up email from here was 2 quote for 4 different vehicles one with me installing, one with them installing. Dodge, old Chevy, new Chevy and Dodge 1 ton. And vinyl only for 2 - 4x8 signs. "If you need to wait a while to get more accurate measurements of the vehicles, we can be patient" -...
  14. Cash N Carry vs Install

    That's kind what I was thinking too. I like that response and that's how I will respond. It reminds me of the wasp that ruined my vinyl job this summer...LOL
  15. Cash N Carry vs Install

    I sent out a bid for 6 trucks, 1 trailer and 8 4x8 site signs for a company 30 minutes away with a quick general mock-up. Apparently the owners loved the mock-ups (they had someone design them a new logo and it's much sharper than the old one). She then asked me if they put the decals on...
  16. Question Shopvox Alternative

    1 person plus helpers here: Wave Accounting is FREE. It integrates with Square. Very simple to use, not complicated. Need to send out a PDF proof with a signature? PandaDoc FREE. Better than Adobe in my opinion. Need to keep jobs in order on your computer? Stardock Fences is FREE. Create a...
  17. copyright question

    I typically write a generic hand receipt for this kind of thing, and other small orders. There's not much reason to create a new customer in the accounting system for this kind of one off thing. If they insist on paying with card then it's "one time customer" "decal" in the accounting program...
  18. Discussion What's your shop's typical day like in terms of shop efficiency?

    Mostly, I'm normal, like everyone else but...some days I do the work of 5 men in 8 hours. Other days, I do the work of a small child. If I'm in the mood to work and get stuff done, I'll work 12 hours with little break. If I'm not in the mood to work, I might as well go home. It all gets done on...
  19. We have a vaccine

    I won't take the vaccine because I've never taken a flu shot. I have had the flu a couple times, once I thought I was going to die, but I lived. In the beginning I was very careful, now I just social distance a bit and wear the mask when I need to. I still SWEAR we had it in February...
