Has anyone tried out the Signs365 banner stand? The price looks very reasonable for the banner plus the stand. Do they assemble the banner in the stand prior to shipping?

What's typical for employee year end or Christmas bonuses? We have a small shop and am wondering what other employers do at this time of year. Also, I'm creating an employee handbook and am on the "paid time off" section - any advice on that too? Thanks.

Since January I've had my credit cards shut down 3 times. I only use these cards for business purchases. Fortunately the bank is able to spot a questionable charge and does not process it so I am out no money. But then I have to wait 2 - 5 biz days for a new card and then the bookkeeping hassles...

I know this goes against common practices but I have to apply a 52" circle to polymetal and it has to be dead on correct. I don't have a lot of experience applying ControlTac and would be more comfortable with the RapidTac on hand just in case I'm messing up. My question is - is there any harm...

I'm looking for suppliers of a post and panel type sign that is custom painted. Looking for someone near northeast Florida if possible. The double sided sign face is 4' x 6' with 2x6x8' posts. Any suggestions, thanks.

I have created a file in Corel that I want to send to Signs365 to print out. They only print in RGB. When I export the file the dark blue colors change to a dull blue/gray. I'm trying to get a rich navy blue color print. Every time I "export" in Corel the default setting is CMYK, which I have to...

I received some files with an .svg file extension. I can click on them and they open but when I try to import into CorelDraw they get all distorted. I can save them or copy and paste but they turn into a bitmap file instead of a vector file. I need them in the vector format so I can resize and...

I'm looking for a high quality brushable clear coat to brush over some V carved, gilded letters. I used to do a lot of hand painted boat names and used a two part clear that was popular with the boat painters but it was very expensive and had a short shelf life. I've also used One Shot and Frog...

I received an email with a photo of an old schematic floor plan of an apartment building. They want to make this into an evacuation plan that can be posted on the walls. Is there an easy way to do this? I can't imagine the time involved in trying to redraw this. Thanks for your suggestions.

you're waiting at the Deli counter and you're tempted to whip out a squeegee and get the bubbles out of the Boars Head decal.:smile:

I've been asked to create a graphic design that will be applied to the riser part of a staircase in an elementary school. The surface is a type of vinyl/rubber that is somewhat slick. I'm not sure how well the vinyl will hold up. There will not be direct contact with the vinyl as people go up...

I am looking for a wholesale vendor to print .040 white aluminum signs. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Has anyone had experience with making street name blades out of PVC? We have made some "test" signs that are about 6" x 36" x 1 1/2" (3/4" back to back) with raised letters and the background routed. There is a slight bow on the length after being outside for over a year. We have a few ideas on...

I have to make an 8'x8' backdrop for a tradeshow. There is a pipe and curtain set up to hang the backdrop from with S hooks. What is the best material to use? I am thinking 13 oz vinyl will be heavy; some sort of fabric might work better. I don't have a printer so I will be subbing out the job...

I am bidding on a job to cover an area 6'x20' on a back wall of a café. There is a counter below the graphic so the print would be exposed to food/liquid. Probably would need to be cleaned frequently. What material would be good for this area? Thanks.

I have been asked to quote on installing printed vinyl on the back side of clear glass for a café in a high class office building. One wall above a counter is 19 feet long and 6 feet high. There will be 14 glass panels. We will apply he vinyl ad then the contractor will install the panels...

any suggestions on a software program that will calculate foundations for ground signs? Looking for information to design sign foundations that will include wind load calculations.

I rarely have a problem with 3M vinyl but recently I cut some high performance black vinyl for truck doors that I had to scrap. The logo was intricate. I cut an entire 15" x 10 yd roll,14 logos. We noticed part of the vinyl was hard to weed. Long story short, I believe the paper liner was bad...

I usually sub out my digital printing and have used regular Oracal 3651 vinyl with good results. We put this on the hood of a black car and it is failing after about 1 year. Will the 3M Controltac work better?

I want to do some faux painting on Max metal using latex paints. Can I use any of the Matthews clear coat products over top of the latex? I know there is a long cure time for latex paints. I'm concerned that the clear top coat may not work if it doesn't "breathe". I can't wait 30 days for the...
