I remember the S & H Green Stamps. We had the Top Value Stamps in this area. Got my first ball glove with them. My Mom made me put all the stamps in the books. I think it took a hundred books for that thing I wasn't smart enough to use a damp sponge. I think I can still taste the glue.

A couple of ways that I know of are: 1. Cahnge the kerning if you are just typing the 8 as text. This place them closer together. 2. Type your 8s, convert to outlines, move each one as close as you want to each other. Don't know what cut program you're using, but if it's versa, you'll have...

Hello from Wheeling, WV. Welcome to 101. Dave

Good looking roof. Metal always looks better than the shingles. I think you should inquire about the snow guards for your roof. I figure your location is close enough to me and you experienced the heavy snowfall from last year. Unlike a shingled roof, when the snow starts to melt, it will...

We recently purchased a building in another part of town. I was doing the demo work myself to save some money. One Sunday afternoon someone pulled into the parking lot behind the building and pitched a puppy out the door then took off. It is some kind of black lab/ ?????? mix. It has webbed...

I tried to flip the encoder strip before. It had too much residue from the ink. We tried cleaning it a couple of times with no luck. I'm not even sure it's the encoder strip. The problem is, everyday we have to adjust the contour cut. Anywhere from plus 1.? to -1.?. It's back and forth...

We used Tonas also, Got an email a couple of weeks ago telling us they were no longer a Roland dealer. I know there's one in Charleston, WV one in Columbus, OH and I think there's one near Waynesburg, PA or somewhere close to there. If you get on Rolands site and search for a dealer near you, it...

Happy Birthday Happy B-Day from everyone in the Ohio Vally

Looks like it's Babe and Paul vs the chain saw and locomotive. I'm in store to get a BS. We use the laminator on some things, but it's only a 30". Dave

If it were me, I'd wait for something better to come along. We started in an old four room house that was converted into the shop we bought. After a year of moving chairs and desks just to to a 4x8 sign on the floor, we rented a 2500 sq.ft. building. I thought it was great having all the space...

Sounds like it will be at least a two part application. I'd put the foil on the board first, then the graphic If it's not a one rectangle printed image, sounds like you're going to need application tape on the graphic. Could you post a picture so we can see the finished product? Might be...

I agree with Mosh on the 1" lip, but if you are dead set on using just one sheet of .040 and nothing else, I would first put a small X crease from corner to corner. Just enough to give it some stiffness, but not enough so it looks like a bend. I still think no matter what you do, just using...

Looks like it might be Aachen BT. The 7 on the Legend cars is different than the first cars.

We use Kapco brand. It has a white adhesive that doesn't let the darker colors bleed through. We only use it on race cars. Somewhat expensive, but the race car guys want a good looking car to trash. Last year we did mile marker signs (12 x 18 coroplast) for the big 20k race in town. They...

That's taken with a flash and the guy is probably only 20 or so feet away. Some of those track photo guys are somewhat suicidal when it comes to getting a good picture. Wait until the car is across the track and check out the number with only the track lights. If it looks OK, than go with it...

At night under the lights, the number on the 5 car will look like a black square. There's not enough outline to divide the black. It might look OK in the sun standing five feet back, but not so good at night. Two easy ways to fix would be (1]) in-lay a red flourecent over the black. Don't...

A few years back Darrel Waltrip had his NASCAR ride either painted or wrapped in Chrome. I think it was when he was sponsored by Western Auto. Not sure wraps were even in existence than. I tried putting lam on Oracal chrome first, then cutting the image out so I could try and stretch it...

Welcome from Wheeling WV. Like you, I purchased both of my businesses from people wanting to "retire". The sign shop was first. He gave me the same run around you got. About a month of training and some consoltation anytime I needed it. The whole deal lasted about as long as it took to get the...

Welcome from WV

I'm right at the end of the cow's forty years. Guess I might as well get brushing up on my tricks. Boy can't beleive the first twenty went so fast and the next forty just hung around like forever.
