  1. Reflective Paint for Street Signs?

    Yes, I did the reflective crystal thing years ago. I would probably just overlay white reflective vinyl and hand knife though.
  2. Pole Banner system

    We rent one of these for street pole banners work. It's fits in a 8' pickup bed, is way cheaper than anything else and works great on downtown sidewalks, no need for traffic control or finding open parking spaces. https://triliftinc.theonlinecatalog.com/products/mobile-vertical-lift/
  3. What is the best spray gun compatible with Matthews Paints ?

    We got a good quality (abt $1000) HVLP turbine sprayer set up many years ago. It has served us well, we've replaced the gun since then.
  4. Pole Banner system

    Wow, that is quite the system....how much? I'd like to get some real world users feedback. First, it's only for 4"x4" tubes which limit it's application. We deal with a multitude of different kinds of poles. Second, how does it hold up in the wind? Or do you have to use only mesh banners? Third...
  5. Vehicle Graphics in the wild North Slope of Alaska

    Makes our northern New England black flies look tame
  6. Edge FX Advancing Foil but not printing?

    Don't know about FX but on Edge 2 that was often a communication error. Disconnecting the cable and then reconnect and make sure all other connections are good often fixed it.
  7. Type of Gold Vinyl

    Good luck, hard to tell in person, much less from a photo. We have samples from several companies and also have seen hand leafed and printed versions.
  8. Pole Banner system

    Like to know more about it. But it wouldn't work for most of the street pole work we do, they wouldn't want backwards lettering on one side.
  9. Suggestions Derogatory Sign Request

    It's only slander,. libel or defamation if it's not true.
  10. Suggestions Derogatory Sign Request

    Unless the builder was a good client I'd make it and just ask him not to say where it came from.
  11. How can we get started with making channel signs?

    First find out the local/state regulations for installing electric signs and with that knowledge you can then make an informed decision.
  12. Vinyl - wood application

    Sounds like a formula for failure. You could research some of the vinyls made for exterior brick/concrete applications, they may work.
  13. Suggestions Diamond Plate Vinyl

    Here's a printed one I did using a fill that has an aged diamond plate look.
  14. Silicone recommendation for dimensional letters with stud/spacer

    Inside just about any silicone would work
  15. Suggestions Diamond Plate Vinyl

    These are some good options above, but my concern would be legibility. Anything using a full shiny diamond plate background is going to be hard to read. So using it for the letters with a contrasting outline, or just using it as a border or accent would be my suggestion to the customer. The...
  16. Mounting ACM panels (dibond) to an uneven wall

    Foam tape on the high spots and lexel.
  17. Big magnets

    Nope, I'll make it if they insist but they will sign off on the design that has my disclaimer on it.
  18. Need Help ProEdge Systems Out of Business? Anything else available?

    They're out of business because of UPS? They never heard of Fedex?
  19. Attracting Customers with Limited Portfolio.

    Nothing wrong with using concept drawings for a portfolio till you get real jobs.
  20. Suggestions Vehicle Vinyl Removal Issue

    yep, if the vinyl was on there a while it's a good ghost. I'll try buffing with polish compound, but it's risky, especially on dark colors. You end up needing to do the whole door, then the fender looks noticeably duller....
