  1. Hockey rink board ads - material used?

    We install some that are supplied by a national company that specializes in sports applications. It just looks/feels like a heavy, very sticky vinyl with a good laminate. They usually lat a full season in a college rink. But for the graphics in front of the benches (where they get beat to hell...
  2. Suggestions Where is everyone buying their foils?

    Garston & Hyatts...and whenever I run across someone selling used ones. Great thing about edge foils, they don't go bad. I've bought a boxes of partials from people whose edge died or they got out of the business for pennies on the dollar.
  3. Suggestions Reflective sign blanks

    I've been using this company. https://store.hallsigns.com/Reflective-Aluminum_c_257.html But some things I just can't compete on anymore
  4. Installing Polymetal 2'x3' signs on interior walls using VHB tape 5952

    I'd use VHB with a couple dabs of lexel....but the wall be ruined when they take them down. So if that is a concern screws with anchors is the way to go.
  5. Vector File Ownership

    Nope
  6. gotta love the rich...

    I used to love hand lettering boats, because back then the same guys who would cheap out on anything for their business would blow big money on their boat for the bragging rights. And back then my cost was in the pennies for a small cup of paint compared to now. And they paid cash.
  7. Gerber Edge 2 rod broke

    Just put it back. It happens to mine occasionally, more the older it gets. You just have to line up the little slot with the wire that holds it and push. Don't force, it should click back into place fairly easily.
  8. Applying laminated vinyl to ACM question

    How about this post is almost a year old....job is long done one way or another.
  9. sign gold

    Everything fades, especially if you're on the ocean. Almost impossible to match any material that's been exposed for any amount of time.
  10. Suggestions How to hang a double sided 4 x 8 sign

    You're going to get a lot of responses telling you not to make it as a swinging sign, that's a large panel for that type of install. Also you will be asked about the integrity of the post and arm. But I will just answer the question as asked. I would use at least 3/4" MDO, and a frame isn't a...
  11. Where can I find brackets like these? (pic)

    Yea, that's a nice report...but wth does it mean o_O? Will those clips hold a 4x8 pan sign standing straight up in a serious wind?
  12. Sign post (bollard)

    I went through the search for something like this. They are all steel pipe with a uchannel or square post added. And the cost for the steel pipe was surprisingly expensive
  13. Where can I find brackets like these? (pic)

    Wow, those are pretty cool, but will they hold a sign that is standing up as opposed to a solar panel that lies flat?
  14. Installing dibond signs on chain-link solo?

    We do backplates & thru bolt. But zip ties would come in handy to hold it it place while doing it solo.
  15. Sandblasted Extira?

    I haven't used Extira in a while, and when I did we routed it. We followed finishing instructions exactly, and then some. It didn't hold up well. we had to refinish it in less than a year. If the place hadn't folded I would've had to replace it.
  16. What would you do?

    I agree, don't burn your bridges, just treat them like any other customer. I had a similar situation with a bus company, but they did operate as a commercial sign shop. They didn't last.
  17. Wow, Check out this estimate

    Good point ColorCrest, maybe it is an error, its a weird way of showing a price for two signs
  18. Wow, Check out this estimate

    Wow...I did the same as some others...I thought "That's not bad"....til I realized it was for both. I'm not so sure I'd be anxious to help the client out by installing them though. I guess if you get you usual rate it's worth it. But it's also kinda cutting you own throat. One of the reasons we...
