  1. Additional U-channel Support

    Truck are too damn big if you can't see a 3' bollard and he can't reach my toolbox. A client had a very similar problem a few years ago and I simple installed the 'Parking Only' signs on the white line extended instead of the middle of the parking spot. Sometimes the non-invited still park...
  2. Awning Vinyl Labeling - 3M Scotchcal 220 Film

    Let us know how the search goes. I've struggled for years to decorate acrylic awning material.
  3. Moldy vinyl?

    OUTGASSING. We had an outfit here years ago that bragged about instant turnaround. That is until everything they printed looked like this in less than 3 years. They are no longer in the business.
  4. Brass Plaque source?

    Kick plate. Sounds like a plan.
  5. Outdoor sign substrate

    High end cabinet makers (kitchen, bath, etc.) still use it for draw bottoms. My house was built in 1959 and the majority of the siding in 3/8" MDO. Last time I painted, I counted no less than 6 color changes through the years.
  6. Wood!

    Done that. Many, many years ago.
  7. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

  8. _

    I'm good. My ole time indicator of when the economy is good is if vanity businesses are opening, ala 'designer cookies', "BOUTIQUES" (how did we ever dress ourselves), freakin homemade pet snack shops, like brownies for your dog. My little town is brimming with these types of businesses. If...

  10. Hiring Designers for my Sign Company

    In 35 years in the sign business I've never 'designed' anything. All I have done is rearrange already existing geometric shapes, letter styles and colors. As a "Sign Designer" I am an editor, not an inventor of new shapes, colors or concepts. Simply placing those elements in an affective and...

  12. Car Flags

    Hey they're great for funerals. Cause there is always that one idiot that doesn't know what headlights behind the hurst means and drives right up beside the whole procession til they see the police car in front, then lets off and slowly but surely all the mourners they just passed, pass them...
  13. Underwater Signs?? Vinyl/Laminate that will hold up underwater?

    Cut vinyl on prepainted aluminum sheet will work just fine in freshwater. May need cleaning occasionally from algae or silt buildup, but I've pulled years old signs from along river beds & banks and they were weathering just fine. I did urine discharge measurement labels for the inside of the...

  18. Replicated Worn-Off Hand Lettering

    Looks good. The only thing I noticed was with the wear on the white, the red would have faded to a dull pink by then. Still, great work.
