Yzarc yletulosba sdnuos taht! But as long as he insists, break it down and send him TWO invoices....$59 for first door, and $95 for the other. JB

This isn't sign related, but my uncle has done colonoscopies for many of Hollywood's most elite. He says that once he turns the little camera on, they're really no different than a skid-row bum. Go figure.... JB

Gino - not sure if that's directed toward my comment, but 10 mil is .010" (ten-thousandths). Roughly the thickness of 3 or four sheets of printer paper. Mils are not the same as millimeters. JB

Here's a home-town solution...available most anywhere: Vertical Blinds (smooth, no texture) Tan or white, the stuff is amazing, and it's UV stabilized (PVC). It's approx. 3-1/2" wide x 10 mil thick x 78" long and typically come as a 10-pack of louvers only (no hardware, etc...). Its...

It's the "Amazon + FedEx = Tomorrow" mentality that everyone has become accustomed to. If people had to wait 2 to 4 weeks to look at the photos they took today, they'd definitely have a new appreciation for how far we've come. JB

IPG (Intertape Polymer Group) produces Anchor brand stencil. They're in the process of tweaking the final details on the yellow Mylar equivalent (for monument work) that 3M produced. They have an extensive product line. For wooden signs, you may want to try Anchor 117. It's a high-tack...

#1) They insinuate work #2) The modern "male" physique (affected by estrogen hormones in the food chain?) is now encapsulated in skinny jeans*. And the dudes that fall at the far opposite end of the spectrum now wear pajama bottoms. *Seriously....many of the dudes I graduated with almost 40...

I have a strong suspicion they'd be inclined to go elsewhere....:p JB

This is just brilliant.....but I'm a bit unsettled about what happens to the liquid assets when they roll it back up on the chassis. JB

Jonesville, Michigan USA: It took me years to figure out that I have a national treasure in my back yard. This is where the "magic-before-the-magic" happens. There is a Pinstripers Hall of Fame in the front window...talk about eye candy. JB https://www.mackbrush.com/

Did you choose your avatar name, or was it given?;) JB

I can't believe I'm the only one who's heard of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onionskin JB

The OP's heading on this thread: we've been hired to repaint this exhibit at a zoo in Nashville but they have no record of the font used as it was a loooong time ago

What am I missing here? Trace it on onion skin and make a pounce pattern. JB

Yep, it's called transfender. It's when the body lines clearly state the obvious, and nobody pays attention to the title. JB

Ever since I started using Gerber Omega, I no longer have that problem (used to use SignLab). JB

Not in this day and age. Raw material inputs are typically the same for all manufacturers of this type of product. It'll be a fight to see who has the strongest supply chain, I suppose. JB

Matthews does this kind of work everyday. JB

Perhaps. But let's think about it a bit further... 3M produces approximately 60,000 different products. A lot of them, no doubt, share common adhesive and polymer/elastomer raw materials. I would hazard a guess that they're funneling their precious resources (labor included here) toward...

Yes, this is the stencil material that is primarily used for monument sandblast engraving, but also for signage as well. They're also discontinuing the "filler", which is essentially a rubber cement used to increase the adhesion of the stencil to the stone's surface. As supply chain issues...
