A Gaggle.

I got the idea from when they did in Luca Brasi. I think they used piano wire.

I use thin stainless steel leader wire wrapped on two dowels. Seems to hold up better than fishing mono or braided. Just get it behind sign and in a back and forth sawing motion work your way down the sign. It will come right off and cut through the double sided tape or glue.

Pretty ingenious way to put panels up with logos of different sizes so to maneuver them around to fit. No screw heads to mess with and holes. Installers coming out and putting different size screws and materials. Just unlatch and reapply, real easy. Just a maintenance guy with a ladder. How are...

As I stated in post #42, Texas is on top of this price thing. He took the average of the three prices he received. Who is the local 700 year old being. He was in business before Chris Columbus discovered America.

Overhead projector at night, trace by hand with a pencil, some people prefer sharpies, all the detail of the art, go back next day with brush and black paint. Some would do it with Nova colors (Nova Color Artists' Acrylic Paint- Buy Online Artists Acrylic Paint & Mediums Art Supplies Shop...

I figured 4'x7-8' printed and laminated cast piece each side and cut letters on back.

$1500.65 If customer supplies full art work then knock off $300.47

Does anyone use this company's vinyls.

You got that right, I just blow the horn and yell some obscenity, but some people don't like that.

To be perfectly honest on this post. Texas has a pretty good handle on the price thing. He has his overhead down and can make a profit and compete with almost everyone. He did complain about the large shops getting jobs because of their size, but over time he will get that work through his...

All customers are difficult until they pay you.

Open Photoshop and bring in the .tiff, you will be able to tell if you can do anything with it.

It means your lines may be clogged up, probably need a new maintenance assembly.

When I was young, guilty as charged. Great post signbrad, lot of memories. Also worked at a shop like you did where they had a full time employee sweeping and cleaning up. The owner was a former accountant who knew how many screws went into cabinet retainers. Safety came first.

Get the local number for Grimco and it will go right to that office in your area, I buy everything off their webpage, I think you save 3% that way plus you see if it is in stock locally.

Thanks for the advice on the rest and if I get any more material I will put it in my underwear.

Use a 4' 1x2 on the edge with a pair of vice grips to snap off thin piece. Lay the 1x2 on the 2" cut piece and vice grips towards both ends holding the ACM and 1x2. Grab both vice grips and snap off piece. Texas has a rubber and mallet in his toolbox, if he can't fix it with the mallet he...

Yes you need to sand edge, Just use 150 grit on a sanding block and run it on its edge. I don't know about the plexi cutter, never used one. Purchased a track saw years ago to cut the ACM. Quicker and no edges to sand or take care of.

Track saw cuts it without the torn edges. If you insist on using a utility knife, score both sides, then bend it to "break" it apart. Doing both sides gives you a cleaner edge. It dulls the blade quickly
