I'm not sure what you're saying. There are three of the same number and one is off by 3/16" or is it that the "flat" number are 6" and the round 6 3/16"? We measure height by the "flat" letters, round letters are slightly larger. That is the correct and standard way 99.9% of fonts work. But in...

2 is supposed to be better for cold weather. It's all we use now, easier than stocking two versions. We don't use a ton of it anyhow, most installs are dry. Smell never bothered me and I don't think it would be any more objectionable than most glass cleaners. Some people are just whiners.

Same reason I'm quoting a state project site sign on 3/4" MDO (the Canuck had it)

I love our Safety Speed Cut. If those knife/coro options were available when we bought it 30 years ago I would have got them

I used these guys in the past. They were a quality product. http://www.signcabinetsinc.com

another vote for Wyld, they are not a competitor of 365 though, they have a different business model, they actually check that what you order is correct

"Thanks, I have a 1/8" white border around the print already" But is the laminate cut to the same size as the print? I will do an overlap, so the laminate extends beyond the print.

Sounds like they need to be pocket laminated. Or try having the laminate extend over the edge of the print a 1/4"

It seems to be an issue with the particular hub it goes through...some places are always early or on time and others always get screwed up.

I use Rapidtac 2, but in a pinch, a couple drops of dish liquid and a splash of denatured alcohol in a windex bottle

Sad? For me sad is spending $$$$ on used equipment and then starting to realize what's involved ($$) in learning how to use them and keep them running. Or you can spend your time selling, designing, fabricating and installing signs. If you follow this forum you'll notice that half the questions...

Try outsourcing first, there are good wholesale vendors on this site. You may find you stick with outsourcing, you don't have to deal with maintenance and screwups and you have access to materials that would be cost prohibitive to purchase for a particular job.

The solution for washed out prints is a day/night layered print. I was just asked the same thing for the first time...and I am using cut translucent vinyl. They were concerned that I match the other panels on the sign. I think it may be from people either using replacement panels which have a...

Unless I had a direct contract with corporate purchasing (like some of those online place realtors buy their stuff) I'd make them whatever they want.

If it's just a flat sign I would think mounting tape & lexel would hold. Maybe take advantage of the surface and design something that has really complex shapes, Letterhead style and apply straight to the glass like it was painted.

No price, only guesstimates and charge by time is my go to technique

We had big silkscreen racks we got for free from a place going out of business. They were expensive when new and built to last. Didn't us them much, tried to sell them and nobody was interested so we scrapped them. Might do a search for used racks, they work well

I like these R Crumb looking ones from Cabelas

Yea, I tried it with the cheap stuff and its wasn't successful.

Great suggestion to go over the existing base, that's why Iike running seemingly simple issues by others
