  1. Looking for larger sheets for pole sign

    Is this a backlit...... or was it originally made to fit backlit ??
  2. Review Nikkalite vs Oralite

    Niialite is/was pure sh!t when I used it years ago. The reflection is good, but cutting it was horrible. Not worth the savings..... in my book.
  3. Looking for larger sheets for pole sign

    It comes on a roll, not a sheet. It would hafta be cut and then you custom cut it to size, unless your vendor will do that for you. Your dealer should've told you all this.
  4. Is this REALLY how a sign cabinet should be built?!

    Do you hafta take that one back ??
  5. Is this REALLY how a sign cabinet should be built?!

    Is there a UL label on it ?? That looks like what we used to call a wrap box, except they forgot all the framework.
  6. Remove UV print?

    Yowsa........ I consider myself a professional for the most part and I just did this a few weeks ago. Printed a panel and something stopped it and it double printed a section about 2 inches long. While we were doing the others, I took the panel to the back room and proceeded to just scrape the...
  7. Not a new member

    Don't know why something like that would bother you, but I think it has to do with you really don't contribute a lot. Looks like you do maybe one post a year.
  8. How do you adhere Alumacor or Coroplast to Plywood?

    If things are too expensive, why waste YOUR time building frames and whatnot outta cheap substrates ?? They either pay for what they want and you give it to them.... or they pay extra for your extra time. Building frames to support a cheap Cor-X sign is ludicrous, just because they don't wanna...
  9. Varnishing over SignGold & vinyl.

    But, you're gonna be building layers, correct ?? You'll have the thickness of the gold, than the red. With real gilding, that's next to nothing and a painted outline is also next to nothing. Two layers of 2 separate vinyls..... hasta be at least 5 or so mils. That's kinda hefty.
  10. Varnishing over SignGold & vinyl.

    How thick is it ?? Years ago, we cleared overtop cast vinyl for motorcycles and custom paint jobs, but it took like 20 coats til it became smooth to the touch..... and that was 2mil. Once that stuff is embedded in there, there wont be any movement. As for gold leaf vinyl, not sure. That's a...
  11. Remove UV print?

    A razor blade will do the trick.... and it ain't hard to do. Just get the right angle and you can sail right through it.
  12. Looking for high quality mirror vinyl

    Either ya want mirror vinyl, which has its drawbacks..... or ya want a mirror. Close only works in horseshoes and hand grenades.
  13. Suggestions For walk-in sign businesses - Your COVID-19 update tips

    To tell ya the truth, I've heard so many varying views, stories and nonsense on this covid19 stuff to last me a lifetime. It's getting to be old. Cripes, the 1918 spanish flu infected a 1/3 of the world population and killed off around 50 million. All pandemics come in waves, usually 2 or at...
  14. Burnout Signs

    Dirty cars remain dirty, cause they don't care. Clean cars are kept clean by constantly cleaning them.
  15. Gilding a wooden carved sign: golden leaf over polyurethane?

    He's right. You only clear it on fire engines and things which will take a lotta abuse. You can clear the board itself, before you gild it. Guess I took that for granted.
  16. Discussion I can't figure it out.............................

    Yep, they'll probably come back and say there is a set up fee for each one. Or a shipping charge.
  17. Discussion I can't figure it out.............................

    A company which quoted $9,000 to do everything. I was almost double that. I couldn't believe my eyes when he wrote me telling me the other price. I could see I could be off and maybe someone do it for 13k or 14k, you know, someone that really needed cigarette money, but 9k...... it's gotta be...
  18. Discussion I can't figure it out.............................

    Oops...... like this. ALL would be brand spanking new.
  19. Discussion I can't figure it out.............................

    Not sure, but evidently, I'm not making myself clear. The two words CHINA BUFFET are ALL new faces, new LEDs, new jewelite, new 5" returns, new backs, new raceways and all new wiring. All the old stuff comes down and thrown away. All of it. A completely new 3' x 12' box sign with LEDs...
