  1. Suggestions How often do you all get your Gerber equipment serviced?

    I've never had my Edge 2 or 15" Envision on a service schedule. I follow the instructions for cleaning and lubricating I was given when I first got them. Gerber offered a free Edge tune up when they were pushing the FX and I had that done. I have a parts machine for the Edge and used the clutch...
  2. What would you use?

    Interesting, I immediately assumed cheap vinyl with cheaper laminate. But in any case I'd clean up the structure and repaint the frame. Reface with acm and probably do a full laminated print. You could do vinyl with a print for the flower, but the flower will fail before the vinyl so may as...
  3. Credit Card Stolen Number, how did it happen?

    Might not be you but got stolen on the other end
  4. Bronze plaques or.......

    I agree with the sandblasted stone. Maybe the local headstone company has something that would work.
  5. Finish OVER signgold?

    I had a client do it. Wood transom that was stripped and varnished. He applied several coats before I applied the signgold. Then applied several more over it. You have to apply several coats over it before you can fine sand for the final coat. Personnaly I prefer applying on finished coat and...
  6. Small shop getting into wraps?

    We looked at getting into wraps when they first came around since we do lots of vehicles. I knew a few shops that were into them and worked with them on a few jobs. But I was reluctant to go full bore and get a new printer/laminator. Kinda glad I did wait now. The best wrap place I knew just...
  7. Suggestions SMALTS

    I finish the sign completely first. I paint the sign a similar color to the smalt, so black if you are using black. The letters are leafed or painted, every thing is done. Make sure the paint is well cured. Then I lightly scuff where the smalt goes. If it's a large sign the smalt is done in...
  8. Large polycarbonate face installation technique

    Sounds like a two lift job to me. Especially if you stick with poly faces.
  9. Suggestions SMALTS

    Don'r know of any videos, but pretty sure the book Gold Leaf Techniques covered the subject. What info are you looking for?
  10. Do you make/improve designs for customers or only take 100% ready to print files ?

    Here's a close up of what it will look like that big on a print, if you don't want that cr*ap then I will needa vecror pdf or high rs image file. After they send the same file exported as a pdf, Sorry that's not how it works. It will be $$ to recreate it.
  11. Suggestions Insurance coverage

    I've had State Farm for quite a while now. I'm always worried about something like this happening, though not because of wraps, I was thinking more like installs. The only issues we have had are clients wanting higher and more extensive coverages. But going from $1m to $3m now really didn't...
  12. install small dedication plate to concrete

    Fasteners is best, but if that's not allowed then vhb with an adhesive will work, kinda.

    "Where is OLD PAINT when you need him" my first thought too. "Cutting directly from Corel in heaven" is his speedo :roflmao:
  14. Gerber edge foil not rolling up

    Could be the motor. I had to replace mine a few years ago
  15. Stomp Shear.

    We cut 6mm on our 4' stomp shear. Coro doesn't work though. I had been holding out for a used 8' stomp shear for years but had a chance to get this 4' and so glad I did, realy speeds things up.
  16. Street pole banner disasters?

    There are banner brackets that are designed to flex in the wind. One type is a fiberglass ole, the other has a spring base. You can also do mesh banners.
  17. Design: How to?

    Why didn’t they have the same company do the second truck?
  18. Plaques quicker than gemini?

    Maybe Matthews? The other option is to fake it. make it from PVC or similar and do a faux finish
  19. Vinyl for raw wood outside

    It's landscape photos
  20. Vinyl for raw wood outside

    Apparently the wood is not the flat serving surface but the front of the table. They plan on the vinyl being "permanent". I'm going to go check these out in person. There will be quite a few of them if it goes through.
