  2. Painting Aluminum

    I have a client whos non illuminated sign cabinets were damaged and will require new retainers on 4 signs. What is the best process to paint raw aluminum channel? Do you use a self-etching primer, prime, then paint? Can it be done without skuffing or sanding? Any suggestions and paint system...
  3. Suggestions Gemini drill pattern pricing

    I noticed in the 2019 catalog revised pricing for Gemini letters and thought I could prevent someone from making a mistake in pricing. Prior pricing was a per letter charge for a spacing/drill template - usually around $4.70 per letter. The revision is now 1-10 characters $41.65, 11-20...
  4. Silicone Failure, please make suggestions on what you use

    Thank you for all of the replies!...I have ordered a case of 18 tubes of the Lexel. Some of the other adhesives were great but set up too fast and Lord knows it will be my luck that at some point we have to remove the silly letters :) Thank you!
  5. Silicone Failure, please make suggestions on what you use

    Thanks for your help and everyone's responses!...I have ordered a case of 18 tubes of the Lexel and we will see how it works! Their you tube video looks pretty convincing !
  6. Silicone Failure, please make suggestions on what you use

    I have been purchasing and using the GE brand clear 100% silicone for years; however, lately, I have have experienced extreme problems with it failing. Typically, the application is attaching letters to alumilite which have been mounted to a building. Recently, winds have blown off letters...
  7. flat bed printers & coroplastic pricing help please!

    I don't know that I'm smart enough to move it...lol...but that is a good point. Thank you!
  8. flat bed printers & coroplastic pricing help please!

    So it seems as if every "printer" in town has purchased a flat bed printer to print onto coroplastic. I understand the savings; however, they are now pricing signs, 24" x 48" two sided for $15.00 each, full color printed whether you get one or a hundred. This is cheaper than I can purchase...
  9. Vendor for Formed Plastic letters - Not Gemini

    Apparently, Gemini has pulled the rug on many of their standard type faces, specifically for one of our customers, Times New Roman Bold - formed plastic letters. Does anyone have alternate vendors for these letters? Gemini now wants to charge you as they are all custom formed letters...
  10. Avenue Banner Brackets

    Does anyone suggest a really good bracket system for a typical 2' x 5' 2 sided banner that mounts on exterior light poles? I really liked the ones made by Eder flag - but discontinued a couple of years ago. It was welded steel posts to a bracket that you used the stainless steel fasteners to...

  12. Flexi Crash Conspiracy?

    Thanks for your input...I have had our IT company working on it for a week. They have put calls in to Flexi and because of the version, Flexi will only communicate via email. I find it odd that it "just started happening" and it shuts all Flexi programs down at the same time - exact time every...
  13. Flexi Crash Conspiracy?

    I have (5) versions of FlexiSign Pro 10.0.2 that in the past week have just crashed - everyday, same time, every computer, 2:29pm. The program just shuts down...nothing else on the computer is effected. Is this a virus that Flexi has slipped in in order to sell me a Higher version? I've had...
  14. sign face vendor

    Does anyone have recommendations for a vendor who does embossed and painted faces - Quickly? Currently I am using Faces, LLC out of Alabama. Great product, never really shopped prices - but they are at 30-35 working days on production! So if you have someone who does a quick turn, quality...
  15. Church Pricing?

    No discount!...you are putting your self at risk with the ACLU for not giving Atheists discounts! :banghead:
  16. finishing/de-burring diabond/maxmetal & such

    In my heart, I know the answer but here is what we do. Currently, cut diabond or metal over plastic core sheets on a safety speed saw. The edges are always rough. We've used deburring tools, then I see my employees hitting the edges with files and such. Is a table router the best way to cleanly...

  18. Activity pos alternative?

    Thanks...I don't know that I am "hoarding them"...it is just not user manipulative (where I can go and delete them forever)...but essentially, that is now what The Millers are trying to do for us. I just got 6 new computers (to get rid of windows XP) all with dual monitors (I love the dual...
  19. Activity pos alternative?

    I purchased and have installed now about 9 licensed versions of Activity POS on my computers. When I started my business 18 years ago, this was the software that came with Fast Signs Franchises. I wanted something industry specific that could help me consistantly price products. To date, it has...
