  1. Costing Spreadsheet

    You could split them out into sub tables, but it gets pretty messy pretty quick, and way more tedious to update. Sub headings or color coding seems to be the best for finding things quickly
  2. Costing Spreadsheet

    Colorcrest, do you use any database software and if so how do you like it and what would you change?
  3. Costing Spreadsheet

    While I agree with almost all of your suggestions, I would say that your intended objective is counter to my original intent with the example. Sheet 1 was intended to act less like a spreadsheet and more like an "app" or UI with calculations and a very basic material catalog in the background. I...

  6. What adhesive would work sticking a plastic engraved strip onto a concrete pole outdoors in December with below freezing temps?

    A mechanical fastener is obviously the best, but most silicones will still set in below freezing (just slower setting). "Apply when surface temperatures are between -35°F to 140°F. " from the sheet linked below. https://www.dap.com/media/3163/dap-100-silicone-wd-sealant_tds_3319.pdf
  7. Costing Spreadsheet

    No Problem, I tend to highlight prices in a certain color and change when they are updated so I can quickly see when the price was last updated. I try to get through most of it quarterly but it helps to pick away as I go sometimes. Odd ball or volatile materials tend to get updated per quote.
  8. Costing Spreadsheet

    Basic premise is that SHEET1 is a simple pricing tool and uses a dropdown field with vlookup to pull in pricing from the table in SHEET2, if this sounds complicated its really not, but you may want to stick with something even more basic.
  9. Costing Spreadsheet

    Yeah, just thought there used to be an option to attach native files...thought I shared a flexi file before. Here it is: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiAVHrO58fvtkGd6v9COnG8av0BD?e=DtwNKc This will only be useful to those who are fairly competent with excel and using formulas. Material pricing catalog...
  10. Costing Spreadsheet

    I have a generic version of one that I made and have modified for specific common products. Would be glad to share but I don't know how to upload an excel file...
  11. Anyone Having PVC Availability Problems

    I had a little trouble with availability from the sign suppliers but the big plastics companies didn't seam to have any issues. I ordered 32 sheets of 2mm black komatex (an odd product request in my opinion) and two local warehouses had it in stock (and plenty more). I realize this is different...
  12. Oracal 651 15" punched no more?

    Not just 651 either, I believe its affecting all of the cut vinyl lines including some 24". I would try finding all the small sign supply houses throughout the country and buy up what you can find. There are still plenty of small suppliers, some don't even have web stores.
  13. Oracal 651 15" punched no more?

    I have had a metallic blue roll on order since march, about a month ago I had my supplier check with oracal and they said all 15" production has been suspended until further notice to try to keep the other production going...
  14. Question Virtual Assistant???

    Following. I have wanted to give it a try since reading the 4 hour workweek (obviously I haven't successfully implemented his teaching yet lol).
  15. Price check... real estate sign

    Most metro areas have a few companies that run around placing listing post signs... For example: https://prstx.com/product/residential-post-install/ in Houston https://inthegroundsigns.com/contact-us in Dallas Make sense now?
  16. Stumped again...help please

    Any ideas on this one, none of my software even gets close...many thanks! Font by Evan Gillette posted Apr 26, 2021 at 9:36 AM
  17. Layouts

    Are you talking about for letterforms? If so I would suggest researching and finding some "alphabets" used by sign painters. Learning a few basic styles and committing them their shapes and attributes to memory will serve you much better in the long run and help with learning design principles...
  18. Question Anyone using Flexi on an S40600/80600?

    We never even installed onyx so I don't have a good comparison. It doesn't seam to be fast, but it isn't unbearable either (for most files). When we had a Mutoh and the Epson both set up they would rip at the same speed over ethernet and it seemed a bit slower than over USB to the old mutoh 1324.
  19. Question Anyone using Flexi on an S40600/80600?

    We have been using flexi with our S40600 for a couple years with no issues.
  20. Adding "stucco" to ACM?

    Another option might be coastal tfs-45, its designed to go straight onto hdu so I don't know if it would grab acp or aluminum without a good bonding primer applied. From the video it looks like you could get whatever finish you want from it. Actually, adding a 1/2" panel of hdu attached to the...
