  1. Ideas for this kite?

    That was my exact experience. It stuck until I pretended to put it in the bag...the corners were peeling.
  2. Ideas for this kite?

    Nylon kite - I'm not spending a lot of time on this. It's for a friend. He wants some wording on this nylon license plate. (you will see he tried to use a sharpie) Vinyl - didn't stick Heat vinyl - $256 kite, I'm not sticking this on my heat press Screen print - I don't screen print plus...
  3. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    Very well said. I agree 100%. I am listening to the House Homeland Security Committee right now talk to 3 experts. It's interesting. I don't think many people understand what kind of an undertaking this is. A few weeks ago my friend who works at a long term care facility received a 2 page...
  4. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    Good point - probably better to just "pass the bottle" - the alcohol will kill the Coronavirus, I'm pretty sure.
  5. Fun project

    That's awesome! Very cool, nice job!
  6. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    I'll bring some Blackberry Brandy and some plastic shot glasses (safety precaution considering Gino's attire). Blackberry cures everything!
  7. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    I just saw this morning they believe the world wide death rate 3.4%. I still plan to travel from WI to FL again in May. Tickets are cheap now but I may purchase insurance for the first time in my life just in case there are any restrictions in place at the condo we stay at. They are no longer...
  8. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    He called me yesterday to discuss the banner system. I told him he definitely needs to obtain a permit for this because he WILL get caught. He did agree with me. At this point I'm waiting for pricing. Once I have that we will discuss this again. I see Gino's point, even though he's been a good...
  9. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    Probably a lot more infected than we know of. There isn't much we can do about it with all the travel that goes on. I just got back from Florida and went through O'hare on Feb 18 and 23. I brought wipes and we wiped down our seats, seat belts, hands, etc. Suppose this - I somehow caught it on my...
  10. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    Funny you say that. The customers wife came in Saturday to pick up a few other smaller jobs. I did explain to her that they would need to get a permit for this - and any sign. She said, "Well, I never got any permits in the past, he isn't going to get a permit." - and she laughed. I explained...
  11. Vinyl on mudflaps?

    Convex might work? Get some samples and try it out...I can't imagine it would stick very well for very long.
  12. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    This is all VERY good information, thank you all! The customer is in the beginning stages of this project and does have a really nice corner for something like this with a brand new pole shed, it does sit on a state highway. I do realize he will need permits, etc. At this point, I think he wants...
  13. Vinyl or banner material for billboard?

    I have a customer looking to put 4 alumalite panels on his shed that are each 5x10. He plans to make one large "billboard" out of this and sell to advertisers. He asked me for a price to put printed vinyl each panel to make one large billboard. I have not done anything this large before nor have...
  14. Discussion Forget Tariffs, what about a Pandemic?

    I have not seen a slow down in business yet. I can see how people might start being more cautious with money until it's contained. Not many people have 30 days of vacation saved up for a possible quarantine. A person could expect to lose an tire month of pay, yet the house payment and electric...
  15. Curious how others would've handled this order/customer

    I would done the same thing you did, but asked for the bad shirts back. You will think of that if there is a next time lol I think a lot has to do with how often people wear them and how they wash/dry them. For example, anyone who has middle school or high school boys knows they pick out a...
  16. What's better, screen printing or heat pressing shirts?

    The Siser Stretch vinyl is very soft and less plastic-y but it doesn't weed as well. I use quite a few plastisol transfers for larger jobs. I think the general rule of thumb is anything under 12-15 is HTV, over that is screen printed (or plastisol transfers) A couple times when I started I did...
  17. Sponsorship Banners

    I think I'm OK charging a standard charge per banner, no multiple discounts or anything like that. This was 4 banners, same basic set-up but a total of 38 sponsors. In the middle of the busy season I might add a few bucks to each banner but now it's a slower time so the extra time didn't take...
  18. Need Help Drawings

    For a quickie sign - that's one thing but I don't do any designs for anyone unless they have a deposit or I know the job is moving forward. I usually put a watermark on all images until the final proof, especially for new customers. Sometimes people say they want to see the design before they...
  19. When you outsource, do you tell the customer?

    I usually do not tell them with the exception of embroidery. If it comes up in conversation I'm always honest. If there is a tight deadline, I usually tell them that the job will be outsourced and the expected ETA is - - - so it's imperative we get the artwork approved on time, etc. to account...
  20. Hanging Sign Material and Bracketing

    Next time a locking pliers for sure! It was so cold, I put the bolt in my mouth and it stuck to my lips - that wasn't very smart. My helper texted his big toe still hurts from frostbite lol
