  1. Making mounting pattern for stud mounted letters

    get rid of the 2"studs cut some down to around a 1/2" and taper them to a point this will allow you to align the letters a lot better on your pattern. Then simply push the pointed ends you made on the short studs thru the pattern itself the pull the letters mark the holes better if you feel you...
  2. Adhering layers of ACP bebond

    Use lord adhesive we use it all the time for poly metal it is great stuff just make sure you have the right product and you prep the material correct first. Lord glue requires you scuff the surface on a lot of materials or it wont hold at all. We use Lord ind NP 55420 for most of our...
  3. window perf troubles, pic attached

    Almost all laminated perf that is installed on vehicles will look a little grungy for a few days until it gets some good sun on it, as long as it is laminated with an optically clear. If you use just a normal laminate it will look bad no matter what you do.
  4. Removable adhesive floor vinyl

    Second the 40c with either 8508,8509,8510 i believe all 3 laminates meet the requirements for slip resistance. We use it a lot and have never had any trouble removing it from any surface.
  5. About to purchase HP360 - got some questions

    We got our 360 just around a year ago. It is a great machine I came from a shop that ran all Roland and Mutoh and the speed and quickness of the latex is amazing. I do think the machines are a little over engineered the auto load can be a bit of a pain and learning how the machine handles...
  6. General Formulations?

    General form is a good product we run a lot of 201 and 203 OAP. The 230 is also a good medium grade product. We use mostly 3m but always have general form in stock it is just a versatile product and can help you hit price points, I would def give it a shot.
  7. err 074 cr overcurrent

    Ran a 1624 for years!! you have a bad encoder strip for sure!!! 074 refers to the encoder strip and 072 refers to the pf or carriage motor itself. The only other thing i have ran into that causes this is like the previous posters said if something impacts the head or is in the way such as the...
  8. Useless Graphtec FC8600 won't find registration marks

    If it is a mark issue on an FC-8000 sometimes it is the laminate itself some gloss and luster laminates have trouble reading, it happens often to us and is hit and miss in runs. One tip i learned a long time ago that seems to help is to put a small piece of scotch tape over the cut marks. It...
  9. Arlon wrap material has ugly grey streaking appearing from nowhere!!!

    I dont use arlon so I cant speak for the material but this looks like printer issue i would start with cleaning everything and checking you're profiles. It looks like a head issue to me tho, good luck!!
  10. 20 ft water tower wrap

    Depending on the image if we were able to we would paint it. Water towers can be hell on vinyl but if you are going to wrap it would use a hi grade cast with a cast laminate. 3m 180 would be what I suggest.
  11. Large Banner on Chainlink Fence

    Use mesh Zip Tie at the top and bungee balls at the bottom the bungee will allow the banner to flex a bit in the wind at the bottom as well as the mesh. I have had great luck with this method and we do a lot of large field mesh banners. But it all depends on the fence of course. Most chain link...
  12. Temporary window graphics - "COMING SOON" window wrap during new construction

    We do this in Kansas City for a big construction company all the time and use a 12mil poster paper printed and installed second surface. We just install it with some killer red banner tape its fast cheap and hasn't gave us any issues yet and actually looks quite nice when installed right.

  15. Vehicle Wrap - Best Squeegee To Use

I have also started to use geek wrap stuff to a buddy of mine gave me a few of their squeegee and I like them a lot they seem to be really expensive for...
  16. Banners between columns

    Another option i just thought of in some major college sports stadiums i have done graphics in they have big banner frames with eyelets all the way around perimeter of the banner. We used to take a more elastic rope and stitch he rope thru the banner back and forth using one long cord for every...
  17. Banners between columns

    I would have made banners this size in pennant shape in mesh to start with. The shape will put stress on strange places especially the way its hung. Im not sure how to tell you to move forward with fixing what is already in place but good luck man!!
  18. Help! Removing decals from wrap?

    That is all bad i would run away once matte vinyl gets GLOSSED out like you see there is no coming back. By the time you get all that off and the adhesive removed the matte wrap under neath is going to be so bad looking it will need to be replaced.
