  1. Translucent Fiberglass Substrate

    A church is needing to replace a sign that I believe is fiberglass that is translucent and corrugated as shown below. The other pic shows approximately the shape of the fiberglass. I'm guessing the sign is 40-50 years old. They asked me if I can replace the translucent boards with something new...
  2. Sign Blank Supplier?

  3. Application Tape Machine

    Need some help. As I'm getting older the back is making it tougher to apply app tape to my vinyl graphics. Leaning over a table all day is tough. I was wondering if there are any app tape machines that work like laminating machines that would make the process easier for me. I have a Roland GX-24...

    Any suggestions where to purchase door name plates like the one shown below. I'm new to the laser engraving world and do not know the names of a lot of the products yet. I will need to be able to engrave on both sides.
  5. What to charge????

    Our school was just donated a HP designjet 500 42" printer. I want to be able to print posters for our school teachers and the principal said to find out (on average) it costs to print a full color square foot and work from there. We want the teachers to use their budget to help pay for the ink...
  6. Real Estate Sign Frames

    Does anyone know of a good vendor for real estate sign frames? They are going to be for oilfield location signs and will be placed in dry ground conditions so they will probably need a step type bar towards the bottom for insertion into the ground by foot similar to the one below. Thanks!

    I'm sure everyone's seen school vans driving down the highway with something like "Perryton ISD" on the doors. My local school has asked me to redo the vinyl stickers that are currently block print and very plain looking. I'm stumped in what to do and would like any suggestions. I've attached...
  12. Type of Paint

    My school has a PlasmaCAM that we cut out metal art with and we are currently using acrylic enamel paint to finish the metal with after we have applied primer. Does anyone else use this type of paint for outdoor use and what type of results have you had with it or does anyone use other types...
  13. Trademarks

    I'm a metal shop teacher and we just got a PlasmaCAM CNC machine that is capable of cutting out metal art. Students are going to be able to cut metal art for themselves.

  17. Clear glass frames for vinyl....

    The wife of a friend of mine bought a frame with clear glass and no backing that had vinyl lettering adhered with their family name on it in Oklahoma City. The picture was 18" wide by 14" tall and was bought for $120. That sounds like an 800 to 900% markup (the kind I love). I've done a couple...
