  1. Painting OmegaBond

    What Marlene said and I would also buy green panels (as per Mike's suggestion), easier to cover and in the future scratches will be less noticeable. Rolling it is OK, spraying it is better, even if you just rent one for the day.
  2. Vinyl on rubber mud flaps

    For a one off If the design is simple enough you could use a paint mask & Krylon
  3. Need Help substrate for black reflective vinyl

    ACM and I would use VHB with Lexel
  4. Need Help Questions about Hdu repaint

    I'm inclined to agree with Frank, new signs may be best. It can be repaired, it would be nice to actually know what kind of paint was used but after cleaning and repairs it can be given a coat of a universal primer then sprayed with a top coat that gives you the finish you want.

  7. How do you guys make a frame for signs that go off the side of a buiding? Or buy a frame?

    I've done a few smaller ones with a standard scroll bracket that we have a mounting plate welded to the base and then do the old school chain guy wires. These were for older building where they wanted that look. Most blade sign applications I have a custom welded frame with an oversized...
  8. Thermal printing 2.5 mil vinyl

    We use a regular cast clear all the time, as long as you don't mix cast with calendared you will be fine. We do some small decals without premask, but for most we use premask.
  9. PVC Signs on Ribbed Pole Barn Building

    3/4" should be good. I get the aluminum studs and pads from my local sign supplies distributor. But you can get them from Gemini. We drill a hole just smaller than the stud, put a dab of adhesive in the hole and screw the stud in. We also usually put an aluminum nut threaded right up against the...
  10. PVC Signs on Ribbed Pole Barn Building

    PVC, how thick and how big? As long as they are large enough and thick enough studs like Gino said
  11. Clear coat for banners

    Thanks. I'm going to go with Clearshield, and thanks for the tip about original formula and pre fabrication Bob. THOUGH i am a fan of frogjuice for my edge prints.
  12. Clear coat for banners

    Yea, I was thinking Clear Shield, which we don't use a lot. I use Frog Juice on Edge prints but don't like the idea of doing something larger & double sided with it.Like you said it can get ropey and stays soft for a while. Plus I left out one detail, they don't want a glossy finish so Clear...
  13. Clear coat for banners

    I have a client who is insisting on a clear coat for some double sided street pole banners about 18"x36". I was thinking a liquid applied after they are sewn may be the best way to go. I know there are a few products out there but just wanted to hear from anyone who has actually used one of them...
  14. How would you mount this???

    I would use the VHB with Lexel. And yes it can damage the wall, but so could what you were already doing. An alternative material would be 3mm ACM
  15. Need Help Unethical Competition!

    Give Guerilla Wraps a heads up that someone is misrepresenting themselves. You've brought him to the attention of the city department so hopefully he's on their radar now. But other than that you have to just keep on running a quality operation and hope he implodes sooner than later.There will...

    What's the ceiling like? I would prefer to have pole pockets top & bottom and hang from the ceiling if it's a grid. Or even some eye hooks on the wall Less holes and it will hang fairly flat

    Merritt is good and they're in CT. I would try I www.wyldgfi.com in NJ, they used to be a member here and I have been very satisfied with the banners and other stuff they have done for me.
  18. Printing on reflective vinyl with non-transparent foil. Yes? No? Maybe?

    As the others said Yes, I've done it many times, but if you are looking for the same effect as Transparent foils it will vary greatly with the color and never have quite the same look at night
