  1. Vinyl Removal NIGHTMARE... Help Please!!!

    Tell a little more about those MBX Zappers if you would...do they go through the abrasive wheels quickly?...is it easy enough to get the rythm with it so you aren't damaging painted surfaces?...do they also take most of the adhesive off in the process too?
  2. banner installation

    These appear to be sponsor banners that stay up for awhile. I think the best solution would be some type of mechanical hanging support such as Banner Track, aluminum flat stock anchored off the wall, pipe anchored off the wall, steel cable tensioned between the I beams, etc. Then you would be...
  3. Enroute 4 Pro - What's it worth?

    Signs101 Auctions....cool! I didn't know we had that. By the way, what kind of router did you have, why, when and how did you sell it?
  4. Saw Blades

    I know Brian, and you might be right still! We'll just have to wait and see if he can explain exactly what he has.
  5. Saw Blades

    No, no, no....don't get confused here....I'm quite certain you are operating a standard wood cutting miter saw. In order to cut aluminum with that you basically use the same carbide tooth blades as you would for wood. There are blades that are made more specifically for aluminum but really any...
  6. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    It's a two part epoxy product that you mix and then trowel it on. It is very sticky and has the consistency of vasoline. You can smooth it out with tools or gloved hands wet with water. Magic Sculpt is the companion product, which has the consistency of clay and is applied in the same manner...
  7. Font ID

    I think you be safe using Tango Bold for that or a possible alternate would be Felicitas
  8. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    You were asking about that "blue board" or Formular insulation, as I suggested you can laminate the surface with something like DiBond and paint finish the edges with fairly good results or you can just hardcoat the foam with a number of products, foremost being Magic Smooth. What...can't get it...
  9. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    Doug, I don't have experience with using any of the Gator Foam products for exterior, so I can't comment about that. I have used PVC for exterior products many times and I can say that generally it is an excellent product, but there are some things to know in it's use. You can leave it in it's...
  10. To All of the Signs101 Family

    This truly seems ironic, as I think about Matt and Krista often as well. I do a lot of work for comedy clubs and the last time we were together, Matt, Krista, myself and my son went to see a comedy show together in Atlantic City, so everytime I do a job for one of my clubs they come to mind. For...
  11. Bernsomatic flame spreader?

    Actually, my thought was using the flame spreader for vinyl installation not necessarily removal, I suppose anything would work for removal.
  12. Bernsomatic flame spreader?

    Finally....someone with the same thought I've had for years...it seems like such a natural thing to use a flame spreader like this but I've never had the opportunity to try one. I hope someone else has and can report on it.
  13. Handmade Sign-What you think

    Don't forget it was decoupage and therefore he probably had limited control over some of the design elements everyone is talking about. I think it was a fine effort and we welcome your posting it here for discussion.
  14. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    There's a wonderful book by Mike Stevens...have you read it...? Sorry, couldn't resist!

  17. Sewing a banner Hem

    So next time you are over at Fellers, find out what kind of machines they are using and which ones are their favorites, if you could. I think that is the point of the question here and not whether tape is better than sewing or whose Grandmother sews best.
  18. New! The Signs 101 Network Registry Is Now Open

    OK....I pretty much answered my own question by looking at one of the registry listings. Now I see there is much more information there and your method offers much more. Thank you!
  19. New! The Signs 101 Network Registry Is Now Open

    Fred, I don't want to second guess your efforts here but wouldn't it be a fairly simple matter to make the member search window searchable by location just like it is searchable by alphabetical listing? I know you'll probably say that everyone's location isn't listed or listed properly, oh...
  20. Sewing a banner Hem

    Personally I don't care, but a lot of people like to get a warm fuzzy feeling first so you may get more answers if you do something like this first...Hi, my name is xyz, I like cats and dogs, I'm in this business just to be your new best friend, I charge high prices and I'm not a low-baller and...
