Long time ago, I used lard oil all the time to oil my brushes. Only problem with it was in cold weather, it solidified somewhat. Left my brush tray open one night, cat got in, ate my brushes. Lard oil musta tasted good to that varmint. Ate almost a whole set of quills. I now use motor oil as OP...

Hi test Coca Cola, and just about any kind of juice except grapefruit.

Ive always considered myself a "nice guy". Maybe too nice, but I just cant tell someone that their layout is crap, or "start over", or something of the sort. Thats defeating the purpose of this site. Criticism applied right can do alot for an individuals outlook on themselves and their business...

On sealing the edges, Ive always had good luck with exterior wood filler, and titebond glue. Ive used the wood filler since I started doing signs many years ago, and always had good success with it. The titebond works well too, if you apply two or three coats. Some people also mix up expoxy and...

Steves fonts are great fonts for any type use. I usually find a use for them every day in some way. I always go to his site every now and then to see what is coming, and the two new ones look great, and will be added to my font list when they come out. Good stuff Steve!

Ive used latex paints on mdo with vinyl lettering and had great success. I use a satin finishe paint, and the vinyl sticks great to it. Digital prints is something I have not had much experience with, so I used oil based and sealed the edges. It probably would have stuck just as well to the...

Hmmmmmm.Guess Id better go take them prints off that mdo and put em on something better.:doh:

Id take his watch back, and take 350 bucks out of his rump, unless he's a big brute, then I would shoot his tires out. This guys a deadbeat. Whether or not you handled it wrong or right, he's a deadbeat. He had no intentions of paying you from the get-go. Thats how these people live, off...

Shovelhead, MDO is not an outdated substrate. Maybe in your area, but not here, and quite a few signmakers still use it with great results.

I use mdo for almost all my signs, but hadnt really done any prints on mdo until recently. When I did, instead of the latex I usually use, the pieces where the print went, I used oil base. I attached the print, leaving a quarter inch border around it, and edge sealed. No problems as of yet, and...

It is a fun place. Its become a real help to the local economy, and gave us all a boost. They usually have three or four hundred a weekend riding the trails in the park. ATVs, side by sides, mudcrawlers, etc. They also have special rides, pig roasts and other stuff all throughout the year...

Replace the brown you have on there with the orange. Should work out okay.

Happy Birthday Dennis!

My site is really behind. I really need to update it. I keep saying Im going to, but never have been able to yet. Thanks for the comments everyone.

I did this for a local town where this country music songwriter grew up. The blasting was done by Blue Ridge Fabrication, and they did a great job. This was finished with latex paints and one shot on the lettering. Little bit of gold leaf on the hat. The sign is backed with mdo glued on with...

Did this for a local steakhouse owned by two fellas named Ken and Paul. I drew the cartoon of them as a gift, they liked it so much they want it on everything, lol. This sign is 6' tall, made of two pieces of mdo and attached to the wall with tapcoms. Everything here is paint. Latex for the...

Its a great layout, but I agree with Patrick about the skis. Im sure you figured everyone would know by the name thats what it is, but it may escape some. Looks good though.
