  1. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    "Bill are you saying you feel that silicone on the stud in the 5/8" decking would be sufficient to hold these?" First, I like JBurton's set up, never used that. Second, it definitely depends on how heavy these letters actually are. But it's not like it's one stud holding the whole letter, I...
  2. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    Do they send stainless steel studs with ss letters? If not I would get them and nuts. I'd thread the nut on the stud then run it down to hit the siding when its leveled. That with silicone in the hole should hold if the holes are tight. Seeing it's horizontal siding I would try to line up with...

    Mesh banner with grommets in sewn hem w/ webbing and heavy duty zip ties,
  4. Metal Gemini letters on siding - peaks or valleys?

    Yep, we usually just let the studs fall where they may and have a spacer to make sure they are all the same off the wall
  5. Need Help Installing indoor signs from suspended ceilings?

    We do lots of these. When the sign doesn't line up with a rail we bridge between them with a piece of slotted angle, poke holes thru the tile and fasten to that.
  6. Edge 2 print problems

    If this happens no matter what foils & vinyl are being used first I would make sure the sprockets are clean and the drive belt is sound. After that you may be looking at the clutch or drive motor. But hopefully some other Gerber users are familar with the problem.
  7. Edge 2 print problems

    You mean other foils work and only this one does this? Then it's the foil hanging up which means get a new one.
  8. Edge 2 print problems

    Have you tried a different foil?
  9. Gold Leaf repair on a boat

    Weird that a boat gold leaf job wasn't cleared over. Vehicles are the one time you absolutely should clear it. In my experience, patched gold always looks like cr*p, even if you use the exact same size and leaf it won't match. So if you go ahead just be sure they know that.
  10. Sign Install...

    I would make a panel that covers the old lettering and have a border stripe to "hide" it.
  11. Question Do 5'x3' Corrugated Plastic or ACM Signs Need Plywood Support?

    If the sign will be changed that often I would make a track with one end removable to switch out the faces.
  12. Favorite Thanksgiving memories?

    We watched this (and the parade) on the local New York station while my grandmother put together the Thanksgiving feast
  13. One man shop growing pains

    Wow, that's a new one, paying for your sign space by the month, and a rip off price at that. Buy a cheap box truck, register it and make it a portable billboard parked out front.
  14. Can't believe no mention of it, yet...................................................... ??

    Me and the voting age turned 18 around the same time, it was a big deal to get the right at 18, and I haven't missed voting more than once or twice. That includes, federal, state and local, wherever I've lived. Enjoyed town meeting in the New Hampshire village I lived in the most.

  17. Post & Panel frame system

    Got a bid for a 5'x10'post & panel sign with frame. The spec calls for the frame & posts to be powder coated. The vendors I've used offer paint but not powder coating. I can buy them mill finish and have them powder coated locally but I was wondering if there is a manufacturer offering that...
  18. High End ADA

    Thanks for the referrals. I will rely on the expertise of the ADA manufacturer and ask then to confirm compliance. If they find an issue then I can make the client aware.
  19. High End ADA

    I have a bid for ADA signs for a multi building apartment complex. I've done several for this client before but they have a new architect and the spec for the ADA signs has changed. They are now multi layer acrylic, one layer of non glare back painted a custom color, another layer of black, and...
