  1. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    great tips, thanks.. PVC is so costly here, & they need 1-1/2" thickness, because we talked his landlord out of a channel letter requirement by selling them on some degree of thickness... Dan, I agree about thinking Gator is too cheap, even though I've seen it work outside... and I also hate...
  2. Simple dimensional sign

    Nice job Maniac! I was thinking "no paint" when I first read it... but I don't know of burgundy pvc, so that's painted right? I've never used colorcore yet (Star Board product right?) but I'm curious if the edges of starboard could not have been left white (& raised) & then been painted...
  3. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Bobby (or any admin) ...I went to the trouble of preparing a .gif with a transparent background, to better represent the look of a non rectangle sign layout (without a white rectangle around it)... & uploaded to the Signs101 photo gallery. From there, the thumbnail came up with a black square...
  4. exterior lettering HDU vs. Gator: Pros & Cons

    I have a friend opening a new restaurant. He is in an area with very little rain & will have some 1-1/2" thick, 15" tall foam letters, with digitally printed faces tucked back under an overhang. We had discussed primed & painted HDU and a veneer of acrylic with the printed graphics. His...

  6. Advice on "FOR SALE" sign?

    Here's a 3x5 I did last month. I was going for "classy" too. It's 1/2" MDO, 1-shot and vinyl on a "Vector Art" panel...

  10. kraft paper

    I have 38" paper & 51".. all my 30" & 36" prints have kraft paper under them because the lam is wider then the print. My 48" prints also have paper under them, but on my 54" prints I can laminate without paper, as long as I have a small piece in front of the print & have another (or that same...
  11. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    sorry, I don't think of it as arguing, but I'm back to my peaceful self... I could see that it didn't concern you, & I could tell it wasn't intended in a blameful way... BUT to me it still came off the way i tried to indicate with my teacher analogy.. I'm sure CES202 knows I'm just making...
  12. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    ok, I've made my case. I'll stand down, but it comes off as blame to me.
  13. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    CES, we posted at the same time, so I'm only reading yous now that I'm done with my reply to wsgraphix.. ...for the record, i agree with the concerns by many that the unfriendly comments are the least desirable... as i would feel in any community.. although such is life & we don't get to have...
  14. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    and your post sums up the question of moderating style quite well... everyone has a different opinion of what to keep and what to lose... so with a less-is-more approach to moderating, our administrative personnel don't risk as many claims of censorship or favoritism... but if they are trying to...
  15. Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Car Wrap

    does it come right up against the weight limit? my dad used to sneak in the kitchen late at night & use my moms stove to melt down some lead fishing weights after drilling holes in the bottom of my pinewood derby car.. he had a small sauce pan he ruined of hers some time back, so he'd get that...
  16. Signs101 - Is it just me....

    you? dig your heels in on issues? really? what do you mean? Oh... now i see what you mean... Stacy has explained that Signs101 has a policy where the members are responsible for their own "tone" ..but you still stand behind your theory that it's the moderators fault... so I guess saying that...

    +6 great post Joe! protransa is just as bad as gypsy in this whole drama of loving drama... leave it alone, nobody really gives a rats ass... post about something important.. so you amount to something more then the purveyor of cheap drama threads
  18. new bldg, cards and van wrap for my shop

    I'm limited on time right now, but I wanted to say I agree with the concept of sign companies being able to help their clients STAND OUT... But I think your clients will want their identity to stand out... not some disjointed tag line... and i think you need to do the same thing.. sure, you...
