yes. like this. glad I went to post this as an example... just realized that i don't have night shots of my illuminated lemonades!!!

why are you doing wall murals with intermediate vinyl? make sure your client knows that it WILL eventually fail.

I make mine out of MDO and 4x4 posts. if you dont want to dig, make the legs T-frames and sandbag it (or stake with steel reebar like i do)

why's his fly open?

"...but the other guy quoted me at half that!"

we mount extrusion to the wall, which creates a frame that allows us to slide our panels in from one side. oh, make sure you can obtain a permit! doesn't matter which direction you plan to go, if your city won't allow such a sign to go up in the first place!

sell him a "laminate dispenser" in the form of a scotch tape dispenser with his logo on it. write on decal, put a piece of scotch tape over it, piece of cake

+1 how cold is your truck bay? your mountains are blue!

+1. won't affect your vinyl one bit.

we have our 48" application tape on rollers at the end of our 5'x16' graphics table masking is a piece o' cake, but i've still been tempted to try masking large projects with my laminator. someday, maybe.

All he does is WIN!

if this is your first reflective project... good luck. non-controltac reflective is a PITA to get right unless you've got a good process/experience applying extremely aggressive material that "bruises" easily. and if your supplier is quoting you on this for just material, you should find a...

hah wow! congrats on the save! glad he's ok.

you can always plan to install it with the magnets, somehow, used for delivery drivers... in the event that the van HAS to travel somewhere, it can be removed/restuck.

if i can't use magnets, I use double-sided tape applied to masking tape(for easy removal). but then again, for something that small... why bother? if you use 180cv3 you can just peel the whole thing and place/lift/shift/etc. to your heart's content (as long as your surface is clean)

possibly, but I could have sworn i've seen close alternatives. i'll keep digging. If anything, i'm sure I can mimic it with a brush tool. edited: oops! duplicated thread for font request. looks like someone else had the same issue finding it here "chickfoola" is no longer available, but...

quick flip for a sign spinner at the mall. appears to be a font, but I can't find it. any ideas?

i use a wet felt squeegee without causing marks during application. agreed that it is a pita to get scratches in your laminate during application. i used to apply with a regular squeegee and spray bottle of soapy water until I got sick of leaving occasional streaks in the finish of the laminate.

we've never had issues painting anodized aluminum. +1 to scuffing with scotchbrite. as with any surface, it never hurts to give it a bit more "tooth" for the primer/paint to bite into.
