  1. small defects after laminating

    I find general formulation laminates have the most static of all the laminates I have tried. On dry days I fear using it for my own safety lol I want to also say that I am never running pvc through my panelsaw again as the dust created is near impossible to control and even though the...
  2. dilemma...

    I centred it as suggested but the square box on the far left is so obviously out of line with the stripe. No time to fix it now as it will be picked up in 10. I will give the customer the option of removing the stripe and reapplying it with a seam dead centre at a later date. Knowing him...
  3. dilemma...

    here it is although it is hard to tell, it looks straight in the photo too
  4. dilemma...

    I am working on this trailer and the front of the trailer is not flat to the sides, instead it comes out to a rounded point. They designed the trailer with a strip going around it. I used 3m 2ml and while doing the stripe on the front I had to use soap and water to get it down without terribly...

    That was very Costanza like of you!!!:ROFLMAO::clapping:
  6. how does this happen?

    Yes but it is simply a eurostyle font.... I broke down and fixed it.... the things i do to make a life..... G's
  7. how does this happen?

    I get a file from some arrogant designer who was trying to educate me on colour by referencing an oracal colour chart to tell me the colour they want for this pick up truck. On top of that it was a 651 vinyl and naturally I am not putting that garbage on a truck so I switched to 3m although I...
  8. Need to remove Rain-x

    anyone know where to get BonAmi in Canada?
  9. How to keep birds from eating the grass seads?

    I saw something like that used at a golf course to keep Canada Geese at bay. They were coyote cutouts and for a split second when I first saw it my heart jumped into my throat!!! At one course they actually had a stuffed wolf with teeth barring next to a pond and again while driving up I...

  11. vector file imports as a bitmap?

    OK now Scott tell everyone what you saw in the file and that I am not losing my mind....lol maybe to late for that anyhow:ROFLMAO:
  12. vector file imports as a bitmap?

    I know that they sort of know what they are doing, but I think somehow his designer redrew the type over a bitmap and somehow it is locked in there. I asked him to send me a pdf file and an ai. The pdf file was a bitmap completely even with a box around it. the ai when zoomed into, again i...
  13. vector file imports as a bitmap?

    I am trying to open an eps file from Corel. Everything in the file is vectored except these 4 lines of copy which is the same font as the rest of the signage. These 4 lines keep coming in as a bitmap. Not the type I am used to seeing though. each letter is made up of 1 or 5 pieces so if you...
  14. Customer with nasty B.O

    I have had guys come in and they just reaked to high hell from BO. The problem is that when they leave the entity remains and remains and thena hot good looking chick comes in and thinks you reak!!!!!:banghead: Seriously though, are they unaware of just how bad they smell.. I know if it were...
  15. seperate contour cut results in no cuts being sent?

    It's version 7.... and yes generally it is the last thing i do. I have also caught the program refusing to send out grouped graphics along with ungrouped graphics..... So for instance you have a file and you import new graphics to add to the file and lets say you want to centre the new...
  16. seperate contour cut results in no cuts being sent?

    Flexi is such an odd program in many respects..... Once you put a contour cut on a graphic the only way you can make changes to any part of that graphic is to seperate the contour cut. Once you have done that and made the change ( colour in this instance) you marquee everything and rip and...
  17. what kind of car wash is recommended for a wrap?

    I don't doubt what you say in regards to hand washing obviously being the safest way to handle wrap material, but in my world I just dont see large or medium sized companies actually doing that. I have no idea what they would do in the winter to clean them unless they had an indoor wash bay too.
  18. what kind of car wash is recommended for a wrap?

    so you are telling me that your wrap customers are hand washing their vehicles? I somehow doubt it, but I will pass the info on. I cant see large companies doing a hand wash...nope , not happening
  19. what kind of car wash is recommended for a wrap?

    I had 3 vehicles partially wrapped using the 3M 1080 dark red. I received a phone call that after going through a "no touch" car wash there seems to be one area of vinyl lifting on one of the vehicles. I know that no touch car washes use acid and high pressure water so I am not sure if that is...
