  1. Dumb move...paint won't dry.

    Annual Christmas parade is tomorrow night. the walls of our float were going to be made from coro, I didn't like the idea of using white so I decided to paint it red. Now I've done this 100 times before with no problem using corogloss ink. Several months ago I bought about 50 gallons of ink...
  2. School project.

    I would have used a different company logo for the tattoo.
  3. Where do lost UPS packages end up?

    Yeah, they recently busted a bunch of people at out local UPS hub for taking cell phones.
  4. Where do lost UPS packages end up?

    I ordered a generator from Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. It was shipped from Home Depot's warehouse in California and apparently dropped off the planet. It disappeared from the UPS system after that. Home Depot was cool about it (this time) and shipped out a second one which is on it's...
  5. Installing 1/2" PVC sign on dry wall

    Ditto on the drywall screws. Predrill your holes in the PVC.
  6. Signpost puller?

    Farm Jack from Harbor Freight some chain and a joor. Quick, easy, and cheap....just like Gino.
  7. Another What Would You Do moment....

    Unfortunately not. My shop sits on the edge of the downtown. I've got all of the state, federal, city, and county government, plus all of the bank headquarters and hundreds of upscale offices on one side....behind me I've got an apartment complex full of undocumented Spanish labor, across the...
  8. Countertop protector?

    I'm about to build new tables and I think I've been talked into using 3/8" ABS plastic for the tops.
  9. Another What Would You Do moment....

    Didn't assume anything there Jim. All I said is that I know they were stolen.
  10. Another What Would You Do moment....

    Long time customer comes in with five a-frame signs he wants to have lettered. Two of them are metal frames with no faces, one is 1/2" coro (blank), and the other two are 1/2" MDO that's been stripped and repainted. I go to clean the coro sign before lettering it and when I spray it I can see...
  11. Chuck Norris uses this to power his lawnmower

    This is why the rest of the world hates/fears us.
  12. Sign supplier listing on craigslist, with prices.......ugggh!

    How are people not seeing prices on these ads? 7 of 9 ads have the prices on them, the other two are just generic ads.
  13. Sign supplier listing on craigslist, with prices.......ugggh!

    He's selling uncut vinyl, what's the big deal? If a customer brings you some vinyl to cut just figure up your regular price, deduct your cost of the vinyl and do the job. You'll make the exact same amount of profit on the job. It would be different if he was selling finished goods but they...
  14. hand painted banner

    Mosh is right on both counts. If it's an option for your project you can get a full color banner printed, hemmed and grommeted cheaper than you can buy an enamel receptive blank.
  15. The "B" Word...

    Not so much a budget as a pricing review. I'll sit down with my monthly statements, figure out what my overhead is, then adjust my pricing accordingly.
  16. 10x20ft sign

    Another idea....but not as good as Dibond with 1x1 frame behind it..... 2" x 2" square steel tubing frame with an 18oz. banner stretched over it.
  17. sit down or stand up?

    Personally I'd buy a better chair. I can't believe how many people don't think a thing about spending $30,000 on printing equipment but balk at the idea of spending more than $50 on a desk chair. You would be amazed at how much better your back and neck will feel if you buy a good ergonomic...
  18. Hey Fred....isn't it about Design Challenge time?!

    Isn't it about time for a good design challenge? I understand Mosh is offering a bushel of soybeans as a prize.
  19. how does the "little guy" compete

    I knew if I thought about it long enough I'd figure out where I'd heard that marketing speech before :ROFLMAO: From FIELD OF DREAMS
