Thanks Arlo! And Parrot, that is very cool. Me? I have been in the biz 24 years, 99% self taught mostly by trial and error. I did got to art school six months back in 80-81. Started out by hand, got a computer in 98, started learning Corel in '05. Still learn something new every day and...

You could either gild or use Ronan's Aqua Leaf or Kemp Permagild too. You can also two-tone gild with different types of leaf. Looks swell!

Welcome from a traditional sign painter outta PA who will never wrap anything but a Christmas present. I would like to add to the pot that most people who design wraps need some sort of a basic layout certification. Now before someone rips off my left breast for posting in the wrap forum, I...

Really looks nice. It's perfect for what it's going to be used for. Love....Jill (the original "Lazy J")

Here's mine, just a redneck one made from a scrap of dry-erase. My only problem is forgetting to put jobs on it. :doh: Love....Jill

I was able to buy a Theta belt 2 years ago from a place in Michigan, I cannot think of it right now. Just a bump. I'm gonna need to call them again soon too. Love....Jill

Another PA welcome. I am good pals with a guy from Ocala, a hand painter/pinstriper who works for Garlitz a lot. Love....Jill

Your sage advice is always welcome Dan. Lord knows I need it. I am slowly transitioning from one of those old painters who really would rather design signs than make them. Love...Jill

Hi Craig. I am a member of the dark side as well, and also the secret society of sign writers. Do you have one of those military crew cuts? ;) Welcome from PA. Love....Jill

Perhaps Jon Gosselin would have some contact info. Love....Jill

Howdy from PA. Kinda like the pom pom on the Steelers cap. (can't think of a good analogy) Love....Jill

I love it, and it's a great idea. I just hope nobody expects you to make ones like this for the next golf outing at $25 a pop. Love....Jill

Yup it's me, I was just showing off my Penguins hat and my new micro-short haircut! :) Will have to check out the pic you mentioned.

You gotta weld it, then node edit it. Love....Jill

In my limited experience (24 years now) Penetrol, Smith's Creme, and linseed oil (boiled?) are all extenders for painting on a hot sunny day and can make the paint take forever to dry. Chromatic makes that stuff (Edge?) flow enhancer that makes paint real nice and slick but you have to buy a...

I personally ONLY thin with turpentine. Mineral spirits can dull the gloss. I only use a few drops, mostly I like the paint straight from the can (if it's a new can) I put the paint into a paper cup (two layers) then put in a few drops of turp. 1-Shot does make both a hi and lo temp reducer...

Happy birthday, sunshine! :)

Looks great. I just use EZ Sculpt Make sure you mix it exactly equally or it takes awhile to dry. Love....Jill

Yup, post it here and within a few seconds, someone who does recognize fonts at first sight will tell you what it is. Love....Jill

Looks like I will have to ask him. I not only dread drawing it, I dread cutting and weeding the damn thing too!
