Its the home brew "application fluid". Never ever use Dawn dish soap for anything except doing dishes. If the rep told the OP to do this he needs to stop. Buy the proper materials/chemicals for the job. My experience with Dawn soap. Years back I did race trailer graphics for a friend. Ran...

Slick. Now I want to see build photos.

Have Peachtree City Foamcraft do the whole thing and forget about maintenance, termites, carpenter ants, rot etc... http://www.foamcraft.info/

Found my Hotronix on Craigslist. Got a screamin' deal.

I'd say any of the vehicle wrap vinyl/laminate would work. Then again I've never used it for what you want to do.

Find a local shop with an industrial laser. Sheet metal shop is a good place to start. Then you can have stencils cut from stainless steel. I get odd things lasered at a local shop and they are inexpensive. I tell them to nest and run it with another job or use a drop. Only thing I have to...

Electrical perhaps? If he does well he should be certified by the end of his apprenticeship. You can train him all other aspects of your sign business while he's in school. Now you have a licensed electrician in your shop that can do signs. If it doesn't work out he will have a solid trade...

Wonder if I can run it in my SP540V? Only says current printers, but I can't imagine the ink train is that different. Of course if it was compatible what would that do to colors/profiles?

Don't DIY anything electrical unless you're a certified master electrician.

Or the guys that stop by with their $75,000 bass boat and tell you your prices are too high.

Whenever a call comes in I start by saying we have a shop minimum charge. Most times I hear, click....bzzzzzzzzzzz. Cool, didn't want to work with you either Mr. Tire Kicker. The ones that stay on the line have been good to work with, less headaches and more profitable.

:ROFLMAO: L-O-V-E IT! Thanks for the laugh.

Whenever questions regarding flatbed reliability issues are posted I read them with great interest. I will never own a flatbed yet wonder where the real issues lie. From the outside flatbeds look pretty dog gone simple, and shouldn't have any major issues, yet you hear the horror stories...

Odd comment about hating your shop. I don't. You are quite fortunate to have those type of workers. At the end of the day its your shop. Run it the way you want.
