Watch this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=3TJR6Dr5DHc Watch enough times until it begins to make sense to you, then give it a try. Warning: Use 3/4" Scotch double face tape. Do not use banner tape or any other sort of double faced tape.

The decorative variety, the ones seen strolling about in parks and cemeteries, are fully ably to fly. Perhaps not migrate down from the arctic circle but respectable distances nonetheless. My father had a few of these, they would regularly take to the air and he was always getting calls from...

Peacocks are not flightless, not by a long shot. Emu's are flightless but the first time one of them kicks the crap out of a tenant it will be more than merely free rent.

Done by hand, the two lower case "a"'s and "o"'s are different.

I seldom do anything but flat, or reasonably flat, work so humor me. Things were slow so I thought I'd opt a couple of printed panels on the hood of my truck. The area was reasonably flat but fell off into a compound curve near the outside front of the hood. I didn't laminate these...

Cute but not ready for prime time. Right now it can only deblur an image with strong edges. Not surprising, since that sort of image is pretty much self defining. Having tangentially been involved in solving this problem some years back I can say with some authority that trying to deblur a...

First, do not use Frog Juice or any other solvent based coating on a solvent print. Use a water based clear coat such as Clear Shield. Frog Juice is especially vile, the only use for it I've ever found is coating MDF board so that vinyl will adhere to it. Other than that, it's garbage. Now to...

I never give much credence to a manufacturer's declaration of shelf life on non-perishable goods. This is most certainly a self-serving declaration designed more for selling the product than predicting any actual deterioration. I have various oddball rolls of vinyl that's been hanging around...

Exactly so. These colors are guaranteed not to show up all by themselves on a window. A general rule of thumb is to treat any window as black. If you want this to actually be seen print it on white and do an 1/8-1/4 contour cut letting the resultant white border show. Otherwise it will be...

The various laws of perversity unequivocally declare that any exposition criticizing grammar and spelling will itself contain egregious errors in spelling and grammar. Gino's plea for linguistic sanity confirms this.

Sport, I have no problem keeping things like message boards, usenet newsgroups, internet fora, et al separate and distinct. It is you that mis-labeled these waters and I merely pointed out the level of ignorance, or perhaps smugness, required to do so. Half of all wisdom is knowing and using the...

Ah, let us filter everything through the prejudices of someone of whom you approve so that you might not encounter anything you deem unpleasant. Note that your referring to this sand pile as a 'board' displays a level of ignorance itself worth of moderation. This is not a 'board'. No forum, not...

Exactly so. I find it endlessly amusing and equally irritating how people who were ordinary humans, from having foibles to being practicing butt holes, somehow become saints when they suck the pipe. Heaven forefend if they crashed in while riding in some mode of transportation and folded or...

You give every appearance of being as large a dick head as Jobs was. I never said I fraternized with them, I said I knew them. En passant. Apple=>fruit=>homophobia is as tortured a path as I've seen this century. Moreover I'm not the least bit afraid of those that are a bit light in the...

I knew both Jobs and Wozniak way back when. I worked at HP with Wozniak at the Cupertino facility. Jobs was one hell of a salesman and the complete butt-hole that has been previously noted. When they started Apple and they offered me a job, my wife said that one shouldn't work for any...

I'm sure that I'm not the first to have this particular light bulb turn on but nonetheless... I was always threatening to put a pair of printed panels on the hood of my truck. I designed a pair, I think I even posted an image of them in these waters some time ago. I never got around to doing...

No, I mean the plain old vanilla metallic vinyl like silver and gold etc. Like the Oracal 951M, Avery 900 metallic, 3M 180C metallic, and the like. Not the polyester film and holographic stuff.

I was looking at a Fellers catalog and on the page with all of the metallic vinyls there's a warning that none of the materials on that page should be applied wet? Why? I seldom use metallics and even more seldom apply wet but why this universal admonition?

I fail to see that the set you did is a whole hell of a lot better than the one they did. Different but different just means different. Any and all of them are somewhat less than attractive.

So then, anyone not capable of doing this is not a sign maker? This fantasy fabrication task represents the epitome of sign making? A being that hand letters sho-cards is not a sign maker? Signs is signs. A 7"x11" shelf talker is every bit as much of a sign as the fictional behemoth you...
