  1. Help... Can you apply vinyl to this type of brick?

    trisodium phosphate (TSP)
  2. Smalts question...

    When Sandman mentioned using epoxy I remembered making this about 40 years ago above my exterior studio door to fill in space. Just made a MDO base with 1x2 around edges to hold epoxy in from pouring out and stuck shells and whatever was on the beach at the time in the epoxy mixture and then...
  3. Anyone stop accepting credit cards?

    PayPal here if they want to pay with credit card, but prefer cash or local checks.
  4. Remember scanning?

    Zip Drives, just had to get somebody's file I had on one of those. Still have about #50, I should transfer over to my external drives someday. I thought that was high tech when zip drives came out. Had to get positives made for making my screen prints from a service bureau like you worked years...
  5. Help... Can you apply vinyl to this type of brick?

    You might have to seal that brick. The finish might have to much "grit" for the adhesive not being able to stick. Sometimes the mason will "wash" the mortar, which has sand and binder in it to get that effect. Try using some TSP in water and clean and let dry an area to help make the vinyl to...
  6. WOW!

    God is watching over you Gino! Did the guy look like Michael Landon?
  7. Smalts question...

    That smalt's cream says it is not compatible with the new OneShot formula and suggest using Ronan paint. Thanks for the link SignBrad, think I will order some and make a smalt backgound on something.
  8. Smalts question...

    Just read the instructions for the Japan drier, like Toad says a half capful is more than enough. I would wait on your Cream Oneshot mixture to dry as needed because if you rush it you might have more of a problem when you go to get the smalts off. Keep the humidity down to help dry times. 24-48...
  9. OT: The Signs101 Pet Section

    Henly wanted to pose for me this morning. Put a cookie on the desk and he stayed still for a minute. Had four kids so I have had every pet there is, from newts to rabbits.This was a puppy from my son's dogs. Half Jack Russel and French Bulldog. About 6 years old. Has a motor and never stops...
  10. Remember scanning?

    Aldus Pagemaker, had a MacPlus with a separate 20 mg drive. Also a laser printer! Whole new world in printing. Somewhere in the 80s.
  11. Remember scanning?

    In 50 years from now maybe you will be telling of how you use to write with a pencil and be on a sign forum on the old slow internet.
  12. ACM bending

    I am glad I still have my memory. Glad I could be of help.
  13. Remember scanning?

    Since we are reminiscing, worked for an engraver who would burn the artwork onto a coated metal plate with a large stat camera and acid etch the line work onto the plate and them mount it on plywood, then routed out to be used to make newspaper artwork for advertisement. 35 mm slides were the...
  14. ACM bending

    I had about #16 of these to install on large poured concrete columns in a parking garage. It is 3mm ACM Maxmetal that was put into a slip roller and bent. It works fine no heating, bends like solid aluminum. Put cast turq. vinyl on after bending with the white cast P. Tapconed pvc strips on...
  15. Rant acting before thinking

    That's a watermark from a screenshot. Calm down, sorry you got excited.
  16. New forum issue

    Noticed that also but figured they were trying something new for first-timers to the site. "Change can be unsettling".
  17. Rant acting before thinking

    You know how JTBoh in post #30 told you to get a brand and don't be afraid to be "cheeky".
  18. Rant acting before thinking

    Mr. Pinkiss, for all the chatter on here and your responses, you could have been out looking for some work to do. Sandwich boards might be a good place to start or make some nice Open/Closed signs with a suction cup and go door to door in the town's business district and introduce yourself and...
  19. Bug Tapatalk problems

    Have not had any problems, IPhone.
  20. My new Sign Installation Command Center (aka SICC) vehicle...haha...

    Did your cargo carrier get mangled on the last one that was rear-ended twice. Nice work truck Moze and a nice price for it. Stay safe.
