  1. Almost over...

    Not for Stephan Hawking. That was Groundhog Day last month. We could go round and round, where it stops no one knows.
  2. UV bonding

    I have used it for small things. You have a clear liquid and hardens when exposed to UV light. It is quick to set up, maybe that is why they want it. The glue cannot be hidden behind something because it will not cure unless exposed to UV.

  4. MDO or ACM? When to use what?

    Use the term "high performance" when talking vinyl to the customer.
  5. MDO or ACM? When to use what?

    MDO is not good anymore, for years that is all I used. But edge prep is a lot of work, it delaminates quickly and breaks down with moisture and time. Not even worth buying for exterior work. Years ago it had like 4 layers, now it looks like 10 layers. Better machines to get that paper thin...
  6. Tell me something.....

    I had to wait about 3 weeks for 6mm Maxmetal because they were getting it from China, offloaded in CA and then trucked to the warehouses. My Grimco never has the vinyl I need, so I go to Fellers for that. I found a local supplier for my PVC and acrylic needs and they also cut it down for a small...
  7. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    The Audi dealership offered the film on the hood when I bought a SQ5 for my wife. It cost an extra $250 and it just on the front part of the hood. You can't really even see it but it is pretty tough stuff and does protect from road debris. Gino, on a woman's car it is a bra, on a man's car, a...

  9. Price of zinc washers too high?

    Never old enough to get ragged by a punk on the internet at his parent’s house.

    Signed up, looks interesting.
  11. Price of zinc washers too high?

    You should talk. You go to warehouse auctions and buy wooden boxes and then try to figure out what they are. Don't tell me how much money you make on reselling junk, that is about as interesting like washer prices from Home Depot and Ebay.
  12. Translucent or Clear media

    From MikePro/Oct14, 2011 in search area... "color "washes out" when illuminated at night, with single-sided solvent prints. adding a reverse-print to the backside of the panel converts the light passing-thru and shows and helps the front graphic illuminate the true color when lit at night...

    You mean making of the video, or just his overall personality? Taking in those chemicals day after day does take its toll on the neurological part of your body.

  15. Need Help By the hour or guesstimate with a quote

    Tell them you will do one widow to see how long it takes. Should only be about 2 hours at most for 5'x5' etch to get off glass. Then give them a price based on that time from your experience on the one.
  16. Need Help Color Mismatch on lighted sign, any fix other than remake?

    Don't think the OP made the vinyl decal or film on clear plexi for the new face. You have to learn how to make a backlit signface and replace it to match the old one. Which will be hard to do unless you have as they stated the exact printer and color match. I think you have to be more clear on...
  17. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    I also am not an economist and according to Rick I am involved with porn. That being said, Canada produces 60% of North America's aluminum capacity. Quebec has 9 plants and British Columbia, 1 plant. US has a lot more plants but have closed up in the last few years because of competitive prices...
  18. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    I know I have mentioned this before and been criticized for doing so, but I compete in crowdsourcing sites for design, art and other categories. I enjoy the competition and see what people from other countries have to offer. They do a lot of the same thing many of you guys do, copy styles that...
  19. Bulb storage on bucket truck

    Go to Search Signs101 at top right and put in Bulb Storage by ThatGuy Jan 5, 2017 he has some pics of how he built on his service truck for lamps. I remembered him posting so looked it up.
  20. How we clean screens at FireSprint

    He did a great job cleaning that screen! Do not miss the silkscreaming days. Still, have some Neuman Roller and Diamond Chase frames and some squeegees but like ddarlak they will be leaving soon and not be missed.
