  1. steel + waterjet = who does it?

    Any reason for using a waterjet? If not check for a fab shop with a plasma table or laser. Cost savings should be significant with plasma. Final thought. If the shapes you need aren't that complex it would be a good excuse to buy a hand held plasma cutter, and do them in house. I love that...
  2. Versa works Messing w me

    Try a a reboot of your system. Or, if you're using a PC hit control+alt+delete and see what pops up in task manager. My rig will open and try to run two instances of VW simultaneously. Creates all kinds of weird errors. Can also try a PDF of the same file. If the PDF doesn't work open it...
  3. Pipe labels appropriate sizes?

    What type of pipe? Is it conduit for electrical, water piping, flamable gas..? There are codes that cover it all, and spec what is, and is not acceptable in a commercial environment.
  4. Vacuum Tanker

    Hi guys and gals, My client has a tank truck used for drain cleaning and he wants their logo on the tank. Truck gets pressure washed everyday no way around it. I was thinking about using an aggressive vinyl like DPF8000, or similar, then edge sealing. Or would cast with cast lam work if edge...

  6. Big Squeegee's

    The half round is where you put your rolled up vinyl, laminate, etc... I like that feature as it gives me more control.
  7. Photoshop Newbie

    THIS^^^^^ Without a doubt this is the best way to learn. Never been a fan of the on line tutorials. Too easy to walk away if you get frustrated. It is much better to have to be in class every week and present your work. Class time also allows you to ask questions of the instructor and your...
  8. Is it alright to.............................

    I'm dealing with this now. Business owner said, "We sell their product so it will be okay to use their logo.". Umm...nope. I told the powers that be, without express, written consent from all parties involved I'm not touching the job. Haven't heard from them in weeks, which is probably...

  11. Thinking about setting up at a marina next summer...

    Marina might not even want you to set foot on their property. Some already have their "go to guy" and that ain't you. Ran into this last year. Who's boat is it, we need to see the design and approve it, how long are you going to be on site, blah blah blah blah. I had to be escorted to and...
  12. english to vietnamese translation

    In the future you can try your local college campus. That's how we've done it in the past. Hard to stump a place that has students from every corner of the planet.
  13. Best Code Free Web Creation?

    If you're using Adobe CC Muse will be part of it. Students I talk to always say how easy it is to use. Nearly drag and drop functionality. Some present their portfolios on their own Muse designed website. As others have mentioned WIX is worth a try also.

  16. High Tack Vinyl Help

    DPF8000 is only offered in 150' rolls. That ain't gonna happen. Ended up with 3M 3690-10. I bought 3 yards from my supplier, which is enough to do the job.

    Thanks for the help guys. Arlon DPF 8000 it is.
  18. High Tack Vinyl Help

    I have a project that requires labeling primed structural steel. Needs to last at least 6 months outside in the great white north. I know that are high tack printable vinyls, but have no clue what to use.
  19. Avery Vinyl with 3M Overlam...no-no or?

    Not on a wrap, but I've mixed and matched at times to meet a deadline and never had a callback.
  20. Building your own laminating table?

    IIRC someone on this forum was going to be importing them from China. Name escapes me, but you may find it if you search for Rolls Roller.
