  1. 3M Exiting Stencil and Filler Markets Effective Immediately

    It was released last Friday (Oct. 15) that 3M is exiting the monument stencil and (stone) filler markets immediately. For those unaware, monument companies have been struggling for the past year and a half getting stencil supplies. This will only add to the stress. I guess this serves as a...
  2. Sandblasting ada signs

    I've never tried it, and I would have said no. But here's something interesting I found: https://signsofthetimes.com/sandblasting-a-corian-sign-face/
  3. Sandblasting ada signs

    Long-time sandblaster, monument builder here.... The only substrates suitable for sandblasting will be either glass, or stone such as marble or granite . There are no other thin substrates that will engrave to the depth you require. Plastics are ductile and will not produce more than a slight...
  4. Low Tac Mask for GS750 plus?

    I had a very strong suspicion that's what you were up to. I actually make them from granite. You can make it work. Just give them a good coat of paint first, allow enough time to dry, and then use a low-tack transfer tape...making sure you pull it off parallel with the substrate. JB
  5. Low Tac Mask for GS750 plus?

    In that case, do you think you could apply transfer tape directly onto the styrene foam and pounce the pattern, and then carefully hand-cut? JB
  6. Low Tac Mask for GS750 plus?

    I think you're going to have an extremely difficult time removing the transfer tape without pulling up the mask. JB
  7. Record collection for Gerber Edge printers?

    My neighbor's place looks like this...except with cars. His home is mobile, his cars are not. JB
  8. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    Take a look on YouTube at some of the propaganda films like Reefer Madness where they show people turning into Mr. Hyde and jumping out of windows and going violently insane. Sorry, but I believe they have that confused with something else. I started as a med (and first-time ever) user last...
  9. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    Properly taxed....are you kidding? Get this.... The cannabis growers associations (the "legit" guys with all the ball-crushing money) have put their heads together and have determined that the majority of weed consumed here in Michigan is being produced by back-yard growers and not their mega...
  10. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    ....And then there's the money. Just an hour north of me, they're putting in a vertically-integrated $30 million grow, process & retail facility. The money they spend is just mind boggling. To my knowledge, there is no other industry that parallels its growth...other than, perhaps, health...
  11. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    My neighbor runs a small semi-commercial operation. He claims that poly bags are oxygen-permeable, and that glass or Mylar bags are the only options for long term storage. In his case, he would opt for Mylar due to his volume. But it's the back-yard growers (and we have a lot of them) that...
  12. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    So they tell me there's still problems getting canning jars. Much of last year's trouble centered around the uncertainty of COVID, but it really isn't too difficult to draw a reasonable conclusion for the low supply...especially in the "friendly" states. A renaissance in "home canning" is...

    Honestly....had you said that up front, I'm sure many would have jumped in to help. JB
  14. Sign Making Capabilities

    Woah....perhaps I did miss something, and maybe the others did too.... I didn't remember seeing anywhere you were from another country until just a couple of posts ago. THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING....sorry for sounding snarky. JB
  15. Sign Making Capabilities

    Um.....my question was a rhetorical question. JB
  16. Sign Making Capabilities

    Your avatar title says you're a Mimaki Technician, but your question says otherwise. What am I missing?
  17. Adendo - Your Connection to Sign and Print Professionals

    I'd be so stressed over the $2 + per minute that I would have a difficult time comprehending the information....the same way I feel when I'm sitting in a taxi at a red light and the meter continues to tick away.... A good majority of that time will be spent conveying the question, and...

    Ask and ye shall receive...they're called pad plugs. JB Pad Plugs https://badgerplug.com/products/roll-suspension-products/pad-plugs/ Badger Plug Roll Suspension Products https://badgerplug.com/products/roll-suspension-products/
  19. If you forget the premask

    Nice move. You've just offended all the special people out there..... JB
  20. Some recent work

    That, my friend, is a STUDIO...not a shop. The natural lighting is just stunning. JB
