My favorite is "quinoa"

I TOTALLY agree with this sentiment. Their order interface is the best out there. I ordered something from a new vendor a few months ago, and it was completely screwed up. Luckily it didn't cost me a thing, but I still felt bad. (they misinterpreted my direction, and instead of calling me to...

You do flatbed well :)

LET IT GO. We made the mistake of taking on a project like this. I couldn't get the faces made, then I got a quote from someone that was too good to be true (which I used as the basis of my quote.) I wound up having to order the faces from someone else for more money, the electrical was a...

We do not order from them anymore because of QC problems. We received a banner with footprints on it! FOOTPRINTS. We use MM We Print You Profit / Typestries for corex and flatbed stuff now. And we just got a printer, too! I'm sick of spending $1K a month having stuff printed, saying no to...

I've been using Sherwin Williams All Surface Enamel with good results.

new catalog prices are in effect as of March 1. cast letters went up in price a bit... enough that I quoted some two days before the catalog came and when I got the new catalog I almost had a heart attack. luckily the old prices were still good.

YES! I have a client who installs solar window film. He was telling us he recently went to a conference where people in the middle of nowhere were getting TWICE the rate he was able to. Well, when you are spending $3500 a month to rent your 1100 sq ft store, you tend not to have the extra $$...

For those of us not going after national accounts, or those of us who only replace faces, not install entire new lightboxes, this is a very, very expensive solution. For argument's sake, lets say you charge $X/sq ft for one layer of printed, laminated translucent vinyl applied to 3/8"...

I think there is no easy answer to your question. With practice, you can get a smooth finish using spray paint. I don't know about the durability though. We've been using Sherwin Williams All Surface Enamel a lot lately, and I've been able to get a pretty nice finish using a foam roller. We...

We use Ace all the time... You know how you have a good customer, and they want shirts, but only want 12? Instead of bothering my silkscreen person with a tiny job, we make them in-house. Transfers are also economical because you can gang images. Full disclosure: I was gifted a $1K heat press...

We use a panel saw with a blade made for cutting aluminum, and then go over the cut with a de-burring tool. If you have a circular saw (or table saw?) you can probably rig something up. Good luck!

You can get it from amazon or some hardware stores carry the original formula. If you see it in the grocery store, make sure its either a red can or says "original formula" on it. I was really excited that my local food store had it, but when I got it home I realized the can was yellow, and the...

I'm happy to hear you've been successful with Gorilla Glue. We always over-engineer everything, too. Yea Mechanical Fasteners!

I ordered this from my supplier last week. They sent me a bottle that appeared to have been opened, complete with a thick crust around the rim. I didn't feel confident enough to order another bottle. You know, its probably not PB's fault I got a bad bottle, I really need to re-evaluate the...

I looked into the Lord adhesives, and in the future I'll budget in an extra $100 or so for glue, but I'm already doing this job for slightly less than I want to, so I'm not dropping an extra $95 for glue plus $50 for the applicator & tips. That stuff is expensive, but I've heard a few people...

I have a 4x6' 1" thick single sided HDU panel that I am mounting to a sheet of 3mm polymetal for added rigidity. We have done this in the past, and used a 2 part epoxy from Home Depot (probably some Locktite brand stuff, I don't have an empty tube in front of me.) I actually have 5 panels to...

Gemini Rep once told me 3x cost is generally accepted. If I'm drilling holes vs. tape mounting I charge more for install. OR if they are getting bronze (metal, etc) letters I may charge a little less since the cost of the letters is pretty high.

I don't know why I didn't think to call you directly when we noticed a problem. We actually just received a replacement roll two days ago, if we notice any continuing problems I'll reach out to you immediately. Keep up the good work!

I just posted THREE DAYS ago about how I've been having problems with these magnets. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103810
