  1. Making a Lightbox for a backlite sign?

    I re-read the tutorial, and a BIG apology to Techman, he's just trying to help and I came off sort of an ass. Not apologizing to the hacks involved. But bottom line for you, you seem to be missing the bigger point to all of this on the thread. It doesn't matter what jurisdictions will let...
  2. Making a Lightbox for a backlite sign?

    Take risk, be a daredevil, be a man, be self taught. I've been the daredevil myself, my life has been that way since day one. BUT, I'm going to do it on MY dime and take the risk on my own life alone and not take a risk where it endangers others, or make money where is endangers others. Be...
  3. Making a Lightbox for a backlite sign?

    Not every permitted sign is inspected, not every sign is legal or permitted. Not every Inspector knows electric signs or what to look for, inspectors just do quick look throughs they don't open every panel, every raceway. Inspectors aren't liable for anything, the contractor is. Some...
  4. Old adhesive will not come off!! Ideas??

    WD40, it also works good for removing tree sap
  5. Making a Lightbox for a backlite sign?

    Meant platform, from an Elliot. You can still complete a circuit even in fiberglass.
  6. Making a Lightbox for a backlite sign?

    Skim read a few pots here. The purpose of codes, regulations and inspections is FOR safety. Are regulations, codes taken too far at times and used as revenue farming? Yes! But I could give a damn less if the OP and a few others here who have posted, electrocute themselves now or in the...
  7. license issues--grrrr

    You're still hitting a brick wall at 100 MPH and with a Motorcycle no less. You can't do ANY kind of install! You can't even put a screw in a wall legally (hang a banner). The electrical sign lic, is a license above a lesser license that ALLOWS you to put a screw in a wall. You can't do...
  8. license issues--grrrr

    That is your other option, to hire a qualified individual, the advantage of doing so will give you the ability to put your name on the license as well which earns you experience points towards putting it solely in your name. Think of it as a paying someone to teach you. Disadvantage, your...
  9. Electrical Sign Installers

    I think I know who you are. I would strongly suggest you apply and get your own C45 my friend, even though you are subcontracting out work to licensed installers you are breaking the law and posing as a contractor that can cause you to serve jail time and pay fines. CSA is cracking down in...
  10. license issues--grrrr

    You need to contact your state contractors license board and see if you qualify, it's usually 8 good years of experience. 4 years as an apprentice, 4 as a journeymen. That's what it is in CA anyway. If you are doing this work now now and subcontracting out to a qualified/licensed individual...
  11. Electrical Sign Installers

    I'm kind of limited these days myself and not sure with what you mean by better pricing, but I might be able to point you in the right direction with someone to help you.
  12. Ladder or Lift? Installation Help

    C'mon, throw your balls out in the wind and use a ladder! Real Sign Men use ladders!
  13. Stop the Skateboarders

    Skate or die!!!!!
  14. Channel Letter Cleanup

    It was pretty bad when you camc across a set that had wood rot and you could literally see letters falling apart. The thing I like about channelume is the fact you don't have trim cap which can give a sign a better finished look
  15. Channel Letter Cleanup

    The ol Channellume letters. They still exist today but you can't use the wood metal laminate backs. You would have to use a corrugated alum back or similar. I would have to think you would need new faces as well which those are bonded to the returns. Any modification of this sign on the...
  16. Solar power

    It's a bridge to nowhere. Nothings bright, it's expensive, and it doesn't last very long. Maybe in the near future.
  17. Channel Letters Partnership Models??!

    Well, there are plenty of other factors involved with related costs here in the US, installation, license fees, inspections, insurance, permitting. Sorry to say, but it just doesn't make sense to have a 50/50 partner overseas for this. In my eyes anyway. Besides, I don't even know what you...
  18. Channel Letters Partnership Models??!

    I guess I should ask first, are you U.L. and do you have Section Labels? How do you justify a $800 a month charge for my information to be on your website? Are you doing major campaigning to drive US traffic to your site? How is the profit split? Who is doing all the design, permitting...
