  2. Hurricane Michael Boo Boos

    I usually fill little dings, in new HDU signs I'm finishing, with Coastal Enterprises FSC88WB.

I have an HDU sign I built just a few months ago and it was later beaten up pretty bad by...

    Ok, when I get a printer up and running, I will need some method of applying prints. .I have an area in my 'clean space' workroom large enough to put a 4x9 table or maybe even a 5x10. What material would you recommend as a top? Is there a special tool/machine/jig whatever I could use to, say...

    My shop is in a semi-rural area and a relatively sparse population so I don't have the volume of business to pay for a high-priced wide format printer. But I do need one from time to time.

    Hi all, This is a sign I just completed. I need a camera for taking good quality photos of my sign work and my phone camera just isn't cutting it. I'm looking for a decent camera, with optical zoom, maybe an "SLR" in the $200-$300 range. What would you recommend? Thanks!
  13. Which Type Glue?

    I need to glue the grey 4.5'x2.5' latex-painted 1'' HDU panel to the face of the larger 6x4 latex-painted sign. I think gorilla glue would hold very well, but am afraid it might expand too much and I have known liquid nails to get hard and detach. Would you use silicone? Screwing it down is not...

    The graphic on my trucks window has been on for a couple years but still looks fine. It's beginning to come loose at the top edge. Is there some type of adhesive I can dab up there so I can get a few more months out of it before trashing and re-doing it? Thanks! :)

  20. Ioline Plotter Problem

    I have an ioline "Classic 24" plotter which sometimes fails to complete jobs. It will cut halfway through the job, stop in the middle with a blinking red light. I can press the "start/stop" button and it will begin plotting again, but them usually stops just before the job is finished. I know...
