We only use gemini templates for exterior stud installs, but on a job like the OP is talking about we make our own as Pat mentioned. We usually make paper pattern and hit the bottom of the letters about 1/4" up and thats our guide. Dont have to pay the Gemini upcharge for a pattern We had a...

You would do a lot better informing clients you will come close to their color but you cannot gurantee a direct 100% spot on match. If they raise hell ask them to go bring you some brochures, letterhead and business cards they had done. I gurantee you none of them will match, and YES I have...

Sorry bout that. For permanent signs we use all aluminum. Aluminum posts with aluminum skins, 040or 063. Pvc we like to use 3/4" thick or above and use the good heavy stuff, none of this junk grimco is trying to sell. The only time we use anything with wood is for temp sign. Wood sucks. i will...

1/2 coro for all temp signs, its lightweight and cheap and pretty damn durable. For nicer temps we use maxxmetal

Do not waste time with studs on sheetrock, its just senseless. We use 3m double sided back tape for all tape installs.this is the same tape most ADA signs come with. This stuff will tear studs out of the wall before it comes looks. Do not use that cheapa$$ white foam tape you see everywhere...

I would install and see what he thinks once its up and explain a darker green wont pop like the lighter. I know there are some pretty cobalt blues out there but when they are lit at nite you cant read tjem

I paint with latex on aluminum all the time and your correct it never feels as though it gets hard as enamel. It will cure out but takes awhile. Best bet it to set it in direct sunlight for a good hot day (if thats possible this time of year) this will hold vinyl, siliconed letters from gemini...

Gx-24 is a pos to be honest and in my opinion.

I like the bottom one

if you care about your customer you will tell him that logo sux! It does not reflect anything about the septic business. It makes me wanna smoke crack and eat a family size bag of skittles. IF I had to do that job in all painted I would use bascoat clearcoats and it would be approx $3800.00...

I love people that dont give a ****! some are just wussies. Oh a lighter note I got my new Fellers catalog and straight to the trash it went as in the past few years

One of my favorite subjects...ADA! Im sorry some people have handicaps, I really am but we have allowed the gov to come in and make this an ADA world. Braille, height provisions, bathrooms large enuff to park a damn suburban in. Bars on everything and a handicapped parking spot for every 2...

this sign will not be readable anyway till you get up on it, waste of money if you ask me, let us know if the realtor pays for this I would be shocked to find out yes

First off downsizing and getting rid of excess baggage is a step forward, not back. We are all having to cut something to stay in the game (I would assume all, Im certainly having to do it. After reformatting the most imporatant thing to do is cut those damn windows updates OFF. When you plug...

Ok, first off what idiot in the govt did they brainwash to come up with this new website and program to sign up as a vendor for the gov? I have filled out 30 year mortgage loans quicker than signing up for this brain-blowing step by step circle of hell they call a website. It has taken almost 2...

what I have to match is a brushed aluminum plaque approx 3/16" thick that has been etched into and filled with black paint. pic attached. i cant find these anywhere. Sorry bout pic, taken with phone

Try covering the sensors with black vinyl

In our town we have about 20 legitimate sign companies. I do installs for 7 of these companies. We swap or buy vinyl, magnets or other stuff on friendly basis. One of these companies do all my routing. If we didnt work together it wouldnt get done efficiently. We bounce ideas off each other...

This is exactly what i would have said. Back in the day we used steel posts for fab, no longer! Everything is just easier with aluminum

I must admit I do not like to study anything (as that refelcted in my school grades) I have always preferred the hands on method. However as I have gotten older if there is somethig I would like to know or learn about I will read about it. I do ask alot of questions and if something new is done...
