Cut a length [maybe 6'] off the new roll that's buckling. Lay it flat on your work table. If it doesn't lay flat, I'd say it's a bad roll. If it does lay flat, use a heat gun and slowly heat up the vinyl. Don't cook it, just heat it slowly and as evenly as you can. If this causes it to curl at...

What's the time and location? Might try to get there if I can fit it in the schedule. Been pretty busy here, but could possibly fit it in. Dave

Print out the bill and go make a visit to them. It's harder to tell someone "no" in person. Don't leave until you get your money. Dave

Don't know if it's correct, but I cut the seam. I feel the panel will move when the truck is driven, cold/ hot days and just getting banged from the everyday use. Even if you can get the vinyl to seal during install, all the other factors will cause it to lift. You will only be able to see the...

I think FRP actually stands for Fiberglass reinforced plywood. It's a marine grade plywood with a skim coat of fiberglass one or both sides. Did you not have enough or too much coffee this morning? Dave

All U-Haul trucks are FRP on the boxes. They last a long time. Seems if there are any issuses, it will be during the installs. I would think if you supply the correct vinyl and give them some kind of directions for applying, you should be covered. Dave

Did the back window of a Tow Truck [roll off] and the side windows of a van for the same company. Both vehicles are kept inside when not in use. I left the perf white so I didn't laminate it. One is five years, the other four. Only problem so far is the flaking or chiping of the perf where...

We are a three person shop. Do some other things other than signs. Shop is 5300 Sq ft. Two thirds shop / storage / office, one third Garage with a 12ft high door. If you plan to do wraps in the future, a high bay door is a must. I've mentioned this before, but here it is again. If / when...

Don't know how you can get the "carved into the sand affect", but to get the text with a sand fill, just copy and paste the pic. Type your text in the darker area [bottom left in pic] and mask the image. You can then use the transparent fuction to get the shade you need. Maybe some bevels and...

When we had a problem similar to this, we found the print was outside the registration marks on the right side facing the printer, thus giving the media width a different size. We were doing the print/lam/cut deal. I think cleaning and eventually changing the encoder strip cured the problem...

Whatever brand you end up buying, make sure it has an adjustable jaw. For thicker material, you'll need a bigger gap at the bend point. If not, it will shear your material. If the jaw is not adjustable, you can do two bends at 40 degrees each to get your 90. This will keep the material from...

Not too uncommon these days. Would be nice if the economy was doing better and jobs were abundant, but that's not the case. If she's productive and contributes to the household, I see nothing wrong here. Dave

Don't know for sure, but wouldn't a boat have some sort of color code built into the serial / model number like a car? Might want to check with the manufacturer and see if you give them these numbers, they can match the paint. Dave

What size machine do you have? Might want to try doing verticle panels and use the seams in the trailer as your panel seams. Overlap the panels about 1/2" then cut at the trailer seams and remove the 1/2" strip. You're going to cut the vinyl at the trailer seams anyhow. Dave

My bad. Read it again and thought where it said remove vinyl meant you weeded the images. Maybe do a test where you print something using registration marks. Remove it from the printer, put it back in lining up your R marks and then cut the image. Do this using the full width of the media. I...

Couple of thing I do everyday. 1. Do an enviromental match after the printer has gone through all it's checks. 2, Wipe the encoder strip with iso alcohol. Helps if any dust or other unwanted particles land on it over night. If you print alot, ink mist will build up on it and cause it to be...

If Nike is the sponsor of the event, which seems like it is in this example, you should be able to use it however you want. Looks like you are making the awards for this event. We do it all the time. The event organizers get permission from said company to use their name in whatever fashion...

No worries. I'm sure she won't say a word about this to anyone. It'll be yours and her little secret. Dave

on the other hand, it could be said the same way as your customer came to you to get a quote, but you sent it off to another vendor......... Apples and Oranges. Her customer should not care how she gets the finished product to them. Doesn't matter if she does it in house or thru a...

Need more info. Will all bets be off if she needs induced? If I waited for my wife to do it naturally, my daughter would still be in the womb. She's 18 now. After all that, I pick July 18th. Good Luck !!!!!!! Dave
