Presently, we have 3 nice size electric signs were are working on. One is right up the street from our shop. I gave her a rather good price in my opinion, since she's a neighbor. Anyway, we have our preliminary notes, quote sheet and our work sheet.... all in agreement with each other. Her...

What were the conditions when you lettered it ?? Inside..... outside, hot, cold........ ??

Since that's a keep-away shadow, did you go back and paint the black in right away or did ya wait for it to dry ?? Not counting layout or pounce time, but the brush time..... I'd say about 4, maybe 4.5 hours for the Bressi truck and about 3.5 or 4 hours for the Mac truck, counting the second...

Lookin' good as always, S'Rex. :thumb:

First, ya hafta get enough canaries for the job. Ya also need to set up a living encampment for them, so they can breed more, instead of importing all those illegals. You'd be surprised of the lung capacity one of those things has. Ya ever hear one sing ?? They're frickin loud. That's cause...

Use an illegal one..... and you'll be just fine.

Those are all good suddestions and will work, for a seasoned sign painter, but I highly doubt the hobbyist or someone starting out will do good job. I've been painting awnings for well over 40 some years and the latex in most cases, has lasted at least 10 or 15 years. In the beginning for me...

I'd like to introduce you to Rick, the circle maker.

We're you drinking .??

I just had a thread about a sunbrella awning I did earlier this week.....(titled not really hand made). When the material is new, it's much easier to hand paint, but as with yours, it's old, so your paint is gonna wanna wick out, so you'll hafta be careful. I pounced it and then used an old...

Your idea might stop a little bit of sun heat from penetrating, but if you don't fill it full of air conditioners, no amount of vinyl or tinting will make it suitable for people all dressed up in tuxes and other hefty garb is gonna help. It's like an oven and the only thing that will prevent...

With any luck or careful planning, you're printing most of the day on your printers/cutters. Hopefully, they're running pretty much 6 or so hours a day, so it shouldn't be too hard to fit a small thing like that in anywhere and just gang it in and use decent pricing for the person. If ya wanna...

If you don't laminate perf vinyl..... isn't it like the ultimate perfect air egress vinyl on the planet ?? We usually use a liquid lam, too.

Everyone should learn to plan better, but once in a while things happen outside your ability to do something about it. Most weeks always have a built in amount of wiggle-room time, here. Never is anything so dire it needs to be finished by 2:46 this afternoon. In most cases, if your customers...

What about if you take the car out and put fuel in it, that wasn't meant for it, like a third party gasoline duplicate ?? It is cheaper..... and it does work for a while. How 'bout you have a few nips and get in it ?? Same car, same driver, just altered the contents a little, to make it feel...

I hope you mean 3 years OUTdoor.

Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean for this to be a bash towards newbies or young people in the business. Nor what someone does or does not know, but the difference in how anyone goes about this trade these days. Certainly, ya need talent and to be able to regconize good from bad at either...

We just use a 4' yardstick for the little ones and anything bigger, we just mosey into one of the other rooms and show them the actual size. The real problem comes when they cannot visual the size, vs. in an actual field or on a building. They see something in front of them and think, WOW...

Well, some things, just don't die off easily. Men's tuxedo for the nice basic design has been the same cut for over 130 years. Lotsa railroads and other things are based upon the old Roman war chariots..... in fact to get the boosters for the Space Shuttle to the launching pad, they had to go...

That's kinda gross... glad I don't go out to eat much, anymore. :munchie:
