  1. Car Insurance Company = no clue

    they will get you, trust me! I got chased by state farm for less than $20 once, I've always found the best way to get an insurance company to return your phone calls is to miss a payment, all of a sudden they have all the time in the world for you!
  2. Screw you 3M.

    I remember a few months ago on a thread someone was asking about what wrap vinyl to use, ColoradoSigns posted that they use 3M products and one of the main reasons being that most fleet work specs 3M materials be used. What is everyone going to do when you run across this situation? I don't do...
  3. Screw you 3M.

    Even that is pretty generous
  4. Properly prepping plywood or some other wood grain showing material

    a few years ago, SignManiac posted some pics of a sign he made from a PVC product that had a wood grain embossed into it, I believe it was some type of siding or something.
  5. I love customers artwork!

    :goodpost: I wish some of my customers would come to me with something like this. It's showing you the overall direction they want to go, while giving you TONS of artistic freedom. Look at it as an opportunity to wow them.
  6. corner rounding and notching?

    heres a video on youtube showing the general idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5uL4hI4yK8 If you are dealing with larger sizes, I wouldn't use the router table, just the hand router. Also, be careful making the templates out of steel, if something goes wrong, the steel will kill the bit...
  7. Allow me to reshare some thoughts

    judging by some of Pat Whatley's hillbilly/whitetrash/redneck stories on here, I don't think the time wasters in your town are all foreigners.
  8. corner rounding and notching?

    make a few templates out of 1/4" thick MDF, and use a router with a flush cut bit to follow the pattern. edit: jhill beat me to it
  9. Route in place tactile letters leaving adhesive

    not sure if it's an option, but we get MUCH better results cutting tactile on our laser vs. our rotary engraver, you don't get the beveled edges though.
  10. Route in place tactile letters leaving adhesive

    what type of adhesive is on the rowmark? we have troubles with the 468MP, but the 467MP works fine for us. Also if possible, switch the acrylic over to a P95 acrylic, the face is more textured, and the tape comes off much easier.
  11. Flexi Price!

    Give them a call when something goes wrong, I'm sure after they take down your information, they would love to help.....:banghead:
  12. Flexi Price!

    if you think the software is what you need to make your business successful, than buy it. if you find it overpriced, look into other software, pretty simple. You can buy a legit copy of CorelDraw for less than $500, and it's an amazing piece of software, it will do everything you need it to...
  13. Dealing with hostile competition

    that hurt my eyes to read, paragraphs are your friend. I also agree with Pat, quit lowballing!
  14. Collection Agency

    Automobiles and houses are repossessed all the time if you fail to pay for them. what difference if there between a repo man walking into your private property (driveway) and repossessing your car that you stopped making payments on, and me taking down a sign you haven't paid for? Why is one...
  15. dry erase nightmare!!!

    i would never trust a dry erase laminate for a permanent sign, wrong product for the job. these should have been made with an actual dry erase surface (marker board or porcelain coated metal) Dry erase laminates are fine for big cheques and such, but not for permanent signage.
  16. Collection Agency

    My experience with collection agencies is that they are a complete waste of time. We have send 3 debts to a few of the "you don't pay unless we win" type places, never saw a penny, I'm not even sure they did anything to be honest. they get 20% if they are successful, which when you think about...
  17. What accounting Software do you use?

    we use quickbooks, I would be hesitant to transfer my books to a free online program, what happens when the either go belly up, or decide to start charging a inflated fee for their service?
  18. silkcards.com MADE IN CHINA

    Wow, i didn't see that coming! This raises a question of why it costs me $20 to ship something to Quebec!
  19. silkcards.com MADE IN CHINA

    there is no way they shipped them next day from china to the US, let alone for $45. think about that.
