  1. banner over an oven? hot question!

    It's hot around ovens and if it was a permanent sign I'd say use aluminum. Not just for safety but also cleanliness, it's gets real dirty greasy around cooking. But since it's temp I'd be Ok with a banner but I'd hang it a little higher
  2. Anyone ever see this?

    Yeaah. No.
  3. What do you do with corrugated plastic scraps?

    What isn't worth saving is trash, Our recycler won't take it
  4. Post holes with a drill...

    Digging holes in New England 40 years and it's hardly ever easy, except near the beach or old river bottom. Tried one/two man gas augers but they just want to break your wrist when they hang up. The only sure method is a tow behind auger, but need a bogl job for those. We do have a job right now...

  9. Question pricing

    I agree about knowing the competitions price. Lots of people say it doesn't matter what competitors charge you have to set your own prices. Which is true to an extent.

    If you can pocket cut that makes a nice clean edge so matter how you bond it.
  11. Question pricing

    I agree, it's part art and part science. I think the art part is more about pushing the limits ala Si Allen's "The highest price you can say without laughing" and the science part is knowing how low you can go before it's a loser.
  12. What to charge? Or not?

    He works as a designer at a place that has a vinyl plotter....why is he coming to you, do they use it as a paper weight? Sounds suspicious to me.
  13. Is this REALLY how a sign cabinet should be built?!

    I've seen wall signs built that flimsy but once they are fastened to the wall they are Ok. Still wouldn't accept that cabinet, multiple issues besides the build.
  14. I-Beams

    Depends on access. Best to do as much exploring as possible, and always write a clause in contract about changes due to unknown conditions.
  15. Varnishing over SignGold & vinyl.

    We also used to do bike tanks that were then cleared, worked fine. I did do one boat transom with sign gold that was over varnish and then got more coats over the whole thing. No issues that I know of.
  16. Gilding a wooden carved sign: golden leaf over polyurethane?

    I don't remember the brand. Got it at the marine supply store, it may have been awl-grip.

    I've used the two part clear on mahogany it it held up for many years
  18. Burnout Signs

    Use cut cast translucent vinyl whenever possible. When it has to be printed only the best cast vinyl & laminate. I wonder if reverse on clear substrate would hold up better?
