I like Corel BTW. Illustrator is too hard to figure out for me. I've tried but I just don't get it. (I'm probably not smart enough)

"design" is not something that comes out of a computer. It comes from the designers mind. The computer gives us a way of conveying our vision to our audience just like a brush or pencil or "gorilla snot on a window" does.

Were there bubbles under the protective paper you peeled off? No? Then it should be all done "outgassing". I would allow the time it took me to peel off the protective layer.

bob... I see from your signature that you've seen "It's a Wonderful Life" enough times already.

bob's right... as usual. The notion that one cannot learn a trade like graphic design unless one attends university is absurd. Do you think Da Vinci had a degree in graphic design? Also, "Tools do not a craftsman make." Furthermore, those who tell you the loudest how much they know, usually...

Here is the link to the company I mentioned earlier. http://www.stonehouses.co.uk/product_desc.php?id=10 23 carat gold is $25 a book. I use 24 carat double thick which sells for $35 a book. These prices are for a single book. If you use a lot of gold you can get a discount on larger quantities...

That's just priceless. Your vendor must be a real genius. :rolleyes:

How will your customer determine what carat gold you applied to his truck? I'm guessing it would be quite a difficult task to separate 22 cart from 23 carat gold... even with sophisticated a lab. I'm not suggesting you cheat him but how the heck will he know what you used? BTW... I use 24...

Make the 10' posts by gluing and screwing four 1x4 PT deck planks together in a box formation.

I think you should fix it for free. Five bucks worth of banner material is cheaper than a lifetime of bad mouthing you'll get if you don't. You can still slip a few raw shrimp into their heating ducts. Just don't get caught.

I submit that erroneous terminology serves no useful purpose and works against professionals using different applications to communicate productively. You can stroke a cat, stroke your beard, pull on an oar (stroke, stroke, stroke), take a stroke off your golf game, perform a stroke of the...

Give a child a crayon and tell it to put a stroke on something in it's colouring book. Then tell it to put an outline on something in it's colouring book. I bet it that child can outline pretty well but I doubt it has any idea what to do when instructed to stroke something with a crayon. I think...

And holy crap... you use Xara!!

You do some very nice work!

I don't have a comfort zone. I'll ask anybody for samples or info. The worst they can do is say no. I'll also try almost anything... I'm terminally curious about just about everything.

I just press the magic sculpt pieces into place and they stick. I'm sure some paint seeps under the parts too so that would also help them stay stuck. I haven't had any fall off yet.

Avast seems to do a pretty good job for me. I use the free version.

I found the hosing down really made a difference in the having the paint stick well. Blowing it off with air isn't quite as good. A good hosing really gets the dust off and out of the pores.

Here is a link to Topflite Monokote. http://www.monokote.com/metallic.html It is a shrink film for R/C model airplanes. Has been around for ages. Very chrome. The stuff is a heat shrink film but it also stretches a little with heat. It comes in a 2'x 6' roll for about 15 bucks or 2' x25' roll in...

Good tip! I'll have to give that a try.
