We have been asked to bid on gilding the ornaments on a totally over the top wrought iron entry gate and 2 side gates. My question is: patent or loose leaf? We'll be gilding the decorative finial caps on each rail plus flowers and deeleybobs all over the place-nothing flat. Gate is 14' wide, 7'...

Can anyone recommend an anti graffiti clear coat for wall murals? I've been looking online and have found several but much prefer to hear about what you folks have used and found effective and not too toxic. Thanks.

Hello all: I'm looking for input on what I can use to preserve an old hand painted sign. Customer doesn't want to have it repainted, but just preserved to keep in the family. Some flaking paint, some peel on bottom edge, but otherwise in pretty good shape. Anyone have a favorite product that...

I am installing Gemini Minnesota letters on an old wall that has the old drill holes for original letters installed 20 yrs ago. I have ordered letters to replace but must glue the pads on myself since I must match to existing holes. What adhesive can I use for pads on letters? This is exterior...

Can anyone recommend solar floodlight supplier/brand? We're working on a carved sign to go on a stone wall and customer doesn't want to run wiring. Don't think the stuff at Home Depot or Lowes will do the trick.

Has anyone had any problems with Chinese 23K patent gold leaf? We recently did 2 V-groove carved HDU signs and tried the Chinese gold leaf for the first time (we usually use Australian or German). Customer just called (I know, it's Saturday at 5pm) to say it is flaking off. We've been doing...

After the thrilling Gerber 4B discussion, it occured to me that I don't have many of the fonts that I grew to love with my Gerber. So, do folks buy one at a time as needed, or as collections of fonts? I don't need EVERY iteration of Helvetica....and I've seen that I can buy them individually...

He's moved on to making fantasy art and masks and Gerber has not been touched in years. Unlike mine, his works perfectly. coyote

I'm considering upgrading to Corel x3 from an ancient version of Corel and now I see that they are offering X4....so, has anyone tried it? what's the difference? I already know how to use Corel and have Photoshop Elements which I DON'T know how to use, so I thought I'd avoid the "which is...

I'm trying to figure out to do with our faithful old dinosaur....We have a IV B-still works, though It's having mechanical difficulties...would be good for parts. Also have font cards. We upgraded (finally) to Flexi. would have stuck with Gerbie, as we do mostly hand work and just run type, but...

Hi all: another question about my CE5000....I have a lot of 3M reflective vinyl to cut-I keep setting the pressure higher on the blade-is it pressure or is it blade depth that I should be fooling with? I'm getting a cut, just really difficult to weed-and don't want to cut too deep into the...
