VHB and Lexel

We've done a few foe regular clients. It was fairly simple, but they were also not real fussy. We just told the supplier what we were doing and they told us what film to use.

I agree about the liquid laminate probably not handling cleaning. Also depends on what was used to tag it. I would tell them to try some Goof Off, can't hurt to try. When ever anyone mentions "Graffiti Proof" I always say it doesn't exist. But you can try an anti graffiti laminate, there are...

For a little interior sign sure, for anything large outside, no. One way, have a frame with the fastening plates welded as one unit. Attached to wall and then skin it

Those look definitely like handlettered fonts based a some common signpainters fonts from back then. You would see both those styles as examples in old sign books.

Only reason to clear gold leaf is to protect from damage, like on a truck or boat transom. Like was said Gemini probably does it to protect in shipping

As far as I know Grimco only has ones with holes.

That looks like it. Thanks!

Anyone have a source for .080 reflective blanks without holes? Seems like they all make them with the pre-punched holes inset 3", which screws up a lot of layouts. Thanks

For designing cut vinyl graphics or edge prints I find Composer works way better than Corel. Especially for things like outlines & shades.

My condolences Arlo. by the way I made a similar mistake with spilled paint and laq thinner, fortunately it wasn't on a new truck ;)

I've had several projects that required one off screens, they ain't cheap but when that's what's speced that's what they get.

Never knew about using CMX, always used .ai or .eps. I hate this keep learning stuff, especially if it means I was doing it the hard way.

I have client that can't install a 12"x18" static without it looking like crap, despite a clear explanation & demonstration.

Definitely need to know if the structure is still capable of handling it. That is really large for a swinging sign. I build swinging signs heavy, you want them to move, but not whip around in the ind.

Looks great

The problem I have seen with any of the currently available repositionable vinyl type materials is they so thin it is difficult not to mess them up in the handling. And they seem to be intended for interior/fathead type use.

Most solutions are ugly and permanent, like track or snap locks. Plus so many people lease they can't touch the truck anyway.

We used some Matthews clear over copper, maybe 20 years ago. The sign still looks fresh. The client washes & waxes it a few times a year.

I put some old HPs on Craigslist, I put $100, thinking if I said free they would think they were junk. The guy took all three.
