  1. Q: Paint-able Vinyl

    d fleming, the Krylon for Plastic shows what I believe are polypropylene items on the can. If it will stick to polyprop, then it aught to dang near etch polyvinyl.
  2. Q: Paint-able Vinyl

    rjssigns, We drove 300 miles so Superfrog could show us how to spit water in the air to make the 'wet' look. What a dude he was. Had a blast that day and learned a lot. I used the wet technique and the crumbled marble for many years until the ink squirters came along.

    Boudica, you rock.
  4. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Who is Mcdonalds? The drawing I saw was 8x15. Very first post!! And what the hell is a latte, maybe a new wave stringer for roofing? I can build that, have built similar and If you can't, go home, or just push go on the printer.
  5. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Come on Gino Keep up, he posted a drawing in the first post. 8' tall x 15' wide, And if the rest of you can't build this sign, move on. Go back to printing. The post he showed are too small, but with that corrected, who can't build this?
  6. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    McDonald Signs, Sweet work and great pics too. I'm impressed. I believe you could design and build a frame for this sign, same as me. The problem is the posts. Two post, 10"x 10", minimum. You can't buy them at Home Depot or Lowes. approprite1, google around for Pilings. You need to move...
  7. LED Neon Sign Success?

    neon bender, first of all, shout out to you for having the patience to learn tube bending. I never bent any glass (except for a tube into a rose vase while waiting on my glass to be ready back in the day). I did tube design, load calculations, and installation though, so I had been around glass...
  8. ok I really want to know...

    Hung giant flags inside a Crossfit gym a few years ago while Ricky Stienhouse Jr and Danica Patrick worked out with our local celebrity (Rich Froning: 4 time fittest man on the planet). Danica's kinda plain looking without makeup and she didn't look happy. I didn't tell my help till after we...
  9. Question Worth losing a customer because I don't trust their engineering?

    Show him this. If he can explain it you, will build it for him, lol. Sigma(allowable)=0.3*E/(L/d)**2 0.3*E/(L/d)**2=P/A =P/d**2 solve for d, d=5.26" ok use d=5.5 nominal dim checking normal stress; Sigma=P/A =30,000/(5.5)**2 =991 psi Seriously, I could...
  10. Billboard Cover

    RiXax, We do a steady amount of these and have for years. You can use any large format printer capable of sewing pole pockets. We get our ratchet straps from Billboard Solutions. We use EMT conduit for poles instead of PVC. PVC tends to bow with pressure and heat over time, or outright crack if...
  11. Rant Why does this always happen...................... ??

    Wife and I try to cook at home but then there is baseball, basketball, soccer, etc., fixing grandma's internet again, yada yada..., and we both just worked a fifty five hour week, or the HVAC is out and I fix everything. Wife usually fixes enough to serve 4-6 and we eat leftovers. We both love...
  12. Discussion Not quite sure how I feel about this....................... ??

    After my mother passed, I went online to forward her mail to me. I accidentally signed up for an email showing what was scanned and scheduled to be delivered daily. Maybe this service (free, at least since July of 2020) would help. I love it as I can see that morning what bills or checks are...

    Just another day in the sign business. I'm only abut 85 feet in the pic, but if you fall you die. What was that about a print head? You sure your not in the print business?
