  6. Anybody remember this old cutter?

    If it works it may come in handy someday. When the shop I worked in bought ours (1981?) it paid for itself in 6 months. We got a job doing magnet vehicle signs for the gypsy installers that were stringing the first cable TV system in the county. They were done a handful at a time and paid for by...

    The Vector Doctor is not expensive, he is very reasonably priced. But it sounds like you already sold the job without knowing what it would cost you, so good luck.
  8. Who owns their own commercial building?

    We looked at buying many years ago, still wish we had. The problem for us was finding a comparable property (size, 16' overhead door with 50' behind it etc) within our limited geographic area.

  15. Install Only Pricing

    The problem I have with installing other peoples graphics is what happens if something isn't right or I screw up something? In the first case it may not be my problem, but if the job has to be put on hold and I have to make a second trip, or the vehicle sits here it throws off the time. In the...

    These are interior signs? Lettering enamel will work fine over any sealed wood surface, For painted panels, just mask off the rectangle, lightly scuff and paint. Pull the tape while wet.
