  1. Grimlite

    So Grimco has acquired Tubelite. Shouldn't take long to destroy all the things we like about Tubelite.
  2. Should I buy this saw?

    I have this exact saw. Paid 1200 for it 23 years ago. Still works perfectly. I am on the second blade. The blades are pretty much a funky off size and not cheap, I paid 250 for the second one but if used properly they last years. My first is actually out being sharpened so I can swap out blades...
  3. Looking for Software Alternatives

    I'm a die hard signlab guy. About to upgrade for new toys.
  4. Print & Cut onto Metallic material / smashed glass

    If you have white ink capabilities, use it. You will have a terrible time with holographic, mirrored and chrome, finding reg marks to plot after printing on these materials. If you can slam a block of white where reg marks will be (good luck) then it might read them. The light reflecting off of...

    Site was at it's best under Fred. Genuine nice guy. RIP
  6. Epson Support is TERRIBLE!

    Roland warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Just paid over 1200 to replace a motherboard in a 9 month old machine under warranty. Glad I did't get the extended. Add to that it has the worst plotter I have ever cut vinyl with on the cutting side. Will be my first and last roland.
  7. Repairing clear acrylic ?

    Track saw is fine, blade should be carbide triple chip with as many teeth as you can find. Can be pricey but worth it. If you can trim it and it still be size needed for job I would.
  8. Discussion What Squeegee Does Everyone Use

    I use the lidco felt on one edge 6" squeegee for 90% off applications of vinyl. I use the 12" to lay down transfer tape and then burnish with the 6". Wear 'em out, toss 'em, order more.
  9. Vinyl for wallpaper

    See if you can find anything similar. Vinyl will give you grief as to where the non vinyl solutions tend to fare better on painted sheetrock.

  11. Prints on clear acrylic

    Miiror print on lam than top laminate that with white. I have done hundreds and hundreds of second surface full color liquor ads this way for distributors to use at the liquor stores they service.
  12. Silver Vinly Rusting?

  13. Printing Screen Positives

    That looks like either when I'm not paying attention and load a sheet of film in my desktop printer on the wrong side or too much ink. Maybe curing. If it is clean from the printhead and spreads and hasn't before I go along with maybe bad film. Interested to see what happens with another brand.
  14. Sharpie on laminate

    You would be amazed (or maybe not) at what rapid remover can do. Or even wd40. Maybe.
  15. Replacing a vacuum formed sign

    Have new pans poured and formed in white so you can letter the exterior surface. Or they can spend the extra bucks and have theirs done raised or back sprayed with design. Just had wholesalesignsuperstore.com (daniels) do two six foot circles for us back sprayed. They looked great.
  16. Anyone know a source for this fluted pole?

    Looking for this set up for long time client looking to change quite a few so everything finally matches. TIA
  17. Printing Screen Positives

    I use an epson workforce printer that has 13x19 capability. I get sheet for positives in box of 100 from tubelite. Simplle, quick and cheap enough.
  18. Does all 3M have markings on the backing paper?

    While Fellers has a wide selection, their reps are clueless.
  19. Cutting ACM

    First two tools I bought after plotter all those years ago were a table and panel saw. Been using them both regularly. You can get away with a tale saw as Gino said, just get a triple chip blade with as many teeth as you can. Usually around 80 teeth or so. To trim burs I remove protective sheet...
