  1. Bleed thru

    Dumb vinyl question of the day...... I'm lettering a black enclosed trailer, with a majority of the film being a cut vinyl (yellow). In the past, I have seen where the yellow has actually darkened a shade due to the transparency of some cast films. So, which "cut vinyl" films prevent this...
  2. Carbonite

    Anyone using it? Any problems? Have you ever had to retrieve information from the site? We periodically (haphazardly) backup to an extermal hard drive. I will usually do one of a couple types of manual backups. One, I will copy my "documents" files (all artwork), and occasionally will do a...

  9. State Park "Trail Signs".....RESIN FACE.

    I'm looking for any feedback on the type of signs you may encounter in state parks....national forest trails...ect. These are generally a box metal frame, and the face (graphics) embedded in a resin type material. From what I understand, its pretty much scratch proof, paint doesn't stick, and...
  10. Paint booth

    Was checking out paint booths on youtube, and ran across this. Thought this was extremely funny, and thought I'd post it on here (in case you're interested). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU55Q3cIkSQ&feature=related All that, for a "rattle can" touch-up.

  12. Filial-support laws

    Perhaps some are aware of the Filial Support Laws, although I'm guessing most are not. Either way, here is an interesting read. http://www.forbes.com/sites/feeonlyplanner/2012/08/13/new-financial-burden-for-boomers-forced-to-pay-parents-long-term-care-bill/
  13. I need a little moral support........

    OK, its been at least 7 years since I lost my faithful friend of 14 years. I couldn't bring myself to replace the BEST dog in the world. Well, the wife and I ran across some folks that had a littler of Golden Retrievers pups ready to go. I told my wife we were NOT NOT NOT going to come home...

  16. OSHA specs?

    I've made a few of these in the past, but now I'm asked to make a couple hundred of these signs. These are going to be 7" x 10" overall. I'm sure there must be some "standards" out there to follow??? I can't find them if there is. This is what I've done in the past, but I don't want to find...
  17. Painting HDU

    Can you prime and paint "Signfoam" with a spray can? I have a small project & I have the perfect match in a rattle can. I really hate the thoughts of mixing paint and the cleanup (spray gun), if I can get an acceptable finish out of a spray can. guess I can give it a try.....but thought I'd...
  18. Any hazards???

    I have a customer with a couple dozen 10 mil coro signs that were printed on a UV flatbed. There is one line (2" x 20") that they would like removed (or covered). The text is all black, and not touching anything else. For giggles, I folded a paper towel, soaked with 91% isopropyl alcohol...
  19. Dumb question of the day.

    I've done hundreds of reflective signs this past year. Typically these are 36x36 or 24x24's. In the interest of saving time, I've been ordering in the blanks with reflective vinyl already applied (EG or HIP). The blanks always have "backer paper" in-between the individual panels from my...
  20. A Concern...Need your input.

    I don't know how often you guys run into this..... I have 2 good (frequent) customers that apply all their own vehicle lettering, and vinyl for other miscellaneous projects. OK no problem....its not rocket science. The one PITA is, there are the occasional "screw-ups", and ifs its nothing...
