  1. vinyl not sticking to painted wall, help!

    I presume you'd be able to get this stuff or something like it over there...............Note I have not tried it myself...
  2. help with plotter

    Might be helpful if you tell us what program your using to cut with. Usually these problems are related to the program, not the cutter.

  7. Font ID please

    Thought this looked familiar but my font searches came up with nothing.
  8. Outdoor paint that vinyl will stick to? or just wrap it?

    I charge $100 an hour to apply or remove vinyl. Like Signage said it usually works out cheaper to use new substrate, if using new aluminium, use etch primer first, 2k paint, slap the vinyl on and it will last a long time. Cheaper version would be to etch prime, oil base paint and slap the vinyl on.
  9. Not liking this idea

    I haven't done it with printed vinyl but I made a test piece with all types of plotter vinyl (even cheap stuff) clear coated with 2k and surprisingly it all held up good. I expected the cheap crap to at least peel a bit or fry and wrinkle, but no it's all perfect. I would suggest doing test...
  10. Need a Retro Font for lettering a Vintage 1950s Studebaker Pick-up...

    I don't do paint, I'm a vinyl jockey...a friend of mine who is a brushy did this for a guy who owns trucks and wanted an old style weathered sign. The blotchy paintwork on the vehicle is original, faded and repaired over the many years it was in use......This was a farm fresh ute pulled straight...
  11. GX 24 cutting not too good

    Can be a number of things, 1. Broken/blunt blade. 2. Blade sticking out to far. 3. Cutting strip chopped up. 4. Too much downforce. 5. Offset incorrectly set. also slow your cutting speed down when cutting small stuff and you can use a sharper angle blade(pointier) also helps, I've cut some...
  12. How do you handle....... Employee Fights?

    Put in a cage and sell tickets.

    very makes it in matte grey metallic in the supreme range http://www.gamart.com.au/Products/SignageFilm/AverySurpemeWrappingFilm.aspx
  14. Trimming ACM (Polymetal)

    I cut 1/4" off sheets all the time on my guillotine, maybe try someone else who has one.(as long as the blade straight and sharp it should cut fine)
  15. Coloured hi tack vinyl (install onto low energy plastic)

    I'm into kayak sea fishing and have about 20 friends with mostly Hobie kayaks that I have slapped cut vinyl stickers on and used Avery 7oo series with no problems. Is that a similar plastic to what you will be doing?
  16. Gotta love the stupidity of some people....

    In windy areas I don't use grommets for the ropes, I use a full length rope pocket top and bottom. The only grommets are in the 4 corners to pull the banner tight.
  17. Hi From Melbourne Signs Australia

    G'date mate. :Welcome:
  18. Glue for direct mount to wall

    The large letters are drilled and fastened with threaded aluminium rod and the smaller letters are glued on clear solid rod standoffs that you can see on a lot of the pictures, no screws in the smaller stuff (they tell you all that but not what type of glue). Would like to know myself.
  19. Anyone doing bumper decals for car dealer lots?

    Working out your costs for 500 stickers @ 2"x3" isn't that hard. 1. Laying out said sticker in your sign program x hourly rate. 2. Calendered vinyl about 24' x 2' + markup 3. Mask about 24' x 2' + markup 4. Cut one and weed it and multiply by 500 x your hourly rate. 5. Add a guesstimate of how...
  20. Printing Small Text

    Another thing you can do is cut a square around the text, mask before without weeding, stick the lettering on and then weed. Once they are stuck on they stay in place while you weed. Slow cutting is better and you can get blades for cutting small stuff, love seeing how small I can actually cut...
