  1. FOAM TAPE?

    I have noticed that some VHB tapes feel less sticky than cheap foam tapes. But they cure hard. Your tape may be too old now. You should be sure the tape is the correct spec for the materials and location. If you want real piece of mind add few beads of Lexel.

  3. Does ACM / ePanel Need A Backer Sheet For Billboards?

  8. Question 4" x 4" Post Sleeves

    Questions I should have asked first...Why? What is the issue that has them making this request? Are they temp or permanent signs? For permanent installs we like to add a collar around the bottom of the posts when we install so there is a couple of inches of concrete out of the ground. That...

  11. Question 4" x 4" Post Sleeves

    You could try vinyl fence posts, ones that are "structural". Don't know if they will slide over a 4x4 though, you may have to shave the posts. And there are prefinished aluminum 4x4s out there too, that'll last a while.
  12. Bare minimum to charge / ask during pandemic? Lowest price you would comfortably go down to??

    I would consider discounting a bit to stay busy. I have employees counting their checks so if it can keep them busy and cover costs it may be worth a shot. But the particular example you gave always sets off alarms....I'm with Tammie and fleming....why isn't he just using the last place?

  16. Paint mask issues

    That sucks John. I hate when a proven method fails because the some product isn't what it used to be. I agree with Garth, I would try polishing with a mild abrasive, we have a few in stock for such occasions. Some I've used are for glass cook tops, chrome and of course fine auto compound. Then...
  17. HR Dept says we're not "essential"

    Netsol has a point, we rely on our payroll company to make sure we are in compliance with a lot of regulations. But in the end they are a service working for us, so they can let us know about a possible issue, but we make the decision. We have clients in emergency apparatus, grocery, municipal...

    Maybe you shouldn't advertise everything on your site as "Custom". :rolleyes: Seriously isn't that the business you are in? If you don't want to do custom work make up a bunch of stock designs and set up a site selling them.
