Does anyone know of a distributor that has the best price for R Tape outdoor durable brushed silver? I placed an order with one place on Friday , and got confirmation of the order, and got a call today that they were out of stock until late December. If I want it any time soon, they can go...

I have this copy that this customer sent me, and I need to make another sign with different copy, and I can't find this font....At first I thought, I've got that, and I have something sorta close....Imprint MT Shadow, but the open areas of the copy are on the wrong side, and the serifs are all...

Your gotta love these so called design firms... I am working on a sign for a local restaurant, and they send me the design package.... what a load of .... well you know. First thing I notice is the colors are all cmyk... and to make it worse, none of them even come close to pms colors, much...

I need to find a neon bender on the East Coast, preferably near the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I have a customer that wants neon to go inside his restaurant windows, and I contacted my old neon bender, and he is pretty much retired. He told me that to produce the pieces I need, it would...

I am in need of a strip heater to bend some clear acrylic (or polycarbonate ). I've been asked to make some neon lettering to go in the window of a local restaurant, and I'm thinking about a clear back, with the sides filled to help hold it away from the window, and to prevent any fingers from...

I have been looking at the ussc.org site thinking about sign world this December. We say it every year that it's getting smaller, and the list of scheduled vendors seems to be shrinking. Also proof that attendance is down is they seem to be recycling photos from past years (the only reason I...

I am working on a Smalts sample/Christmas present for my brother in law that owns a tattoo parlor. This is 15 lb sign foam, with the background routed out. I painted it black, and applied black one shot and smiths cream 50/50 mix. The smalts was given to me by Michael Clanton. He had won it...

I am working on a "sample" / gift for my brother in law who owns a tattoo shop (and has done more than his fair share for me and my wife), and I am routing his logo out of an off cut piece of signfoam 4. There is some fine copy, and inside one of the letters it snapped off while routing...

I was asked about making a duplicate sign for a second location and duplicating these columns. I did look at them and they are a faux column...but I have no idea where to get them. So does anyone recognize them? Thanks in advance, Mark

A while back, I was contacted by a customer to make a small sign. I completed it, and unknown to me, the customer owns a financial service in St. Michaels, MD (lots of rich people)... They contacted me about creating a new monument sign, and I immediately think about Peach Tree foam craft...

I stopped in the local hardware store to pick up some bolts for a project I was working on. The guy that works in there asked me how much a rear window perf would run, and I asked him size. He gives me the "rough size " so I give him a rough price... He said that he didn't think that was...

At the first of April, I got a message from a lady through LinkedIn interested in a set of channel letters. I accepted her, and met with her a few days later. She is moving in to a location that just went through a new renovation. I contacted the management company, got the spec's, created a...

I just went and looked at a couple of boats that need relettered, which means I have to pull the old vinyl off, and reinstall the new vinyl. The problem is the boats are both in the water. Both are too large to remove to dry dock. One boat has a small side deck with a rail, so I would have to...

I just can't seem to nail this one down... Thanks in advance.

I did a sign for a local business several years ago... I was kind of proud of it. Granted the graphic wasn't the best, but I think the lettering colors really worked well, and all in all, I claimed this one.... Well, over the weekend, I drove by it, and this is what I see.... I...

I am using Corel X5, and I am proposing a sign for a new customer, and I am going to shoot them the idea of using smaltz for the background. How do you "illustrate" the idea in a drawing. Thanks in advance. Mark

How would you guys handle this? I am going to avoid posting the vendors name, but the situation is the same. I ordered a sheet of material from a vendor, and had their routing department cut a not square shape for me. (it was quicker than me getting the sheet in, and cutting it on my own...

I just went out and attempted to start my Dell Dimension desktop computer, and it won't boot. I am getting a flashing 3 & 4 light on the front panel, and the power button is lit a constant green (not blinking, not amber, etc.). I have been googling the issue, and came up with the dell "help"...

Ok, I have a question as far as different brands of PVC sheets. Looking at the different "brands", there is Komacel, Komacel Plus, Komatex, Ex-cel FF, and Ex-cel IF. What is the difference in the different materials? Is one better to use on exterior usage, interior usage, printability...

I have a customer that referred me to order either of his customers for a sign removal. All I have is the customers email address, so I sent him a quote through email. On my quote, I stipulated that 1/2 down is required to start the job, and the balance would be due when the job is...
