  1. wth is wrong with people?

    I had a client come in and ask if we had a "Parking for anesthesiologist only" sign (yeah, I had to look up the spelling). I said I'd have to check our stock--what color did she want? She said green. I'm a cynical smart-ass but try as I might I couldn't come up with an appropriate response.
  2. advice needed for a Manual Treadle Guillotine

    I have a used Edwards-Pedicut out of England. Not sure if they're still made. I cut 3mm ACM and 040 aluminum all the time with it. Works great--very smooth edges.
  3. Shorter rolls of banner fabric

    Is anyone aware of a supplier that sells banner fabric in LESS than 50 yard length? I was about to order a 54"x50 yd roll of 16 oz opaque fabric from Grimco when I realized shipping was going to be $170! I got a roll from Feller's with no shipping charge. That was great, but I'm 73 and I'm...

    Need help recognizing this font.
  10. Weeding small labels

    I have had good luck with synthetic liner vinyl from 3M--7725 series. I also try a drag knife cutter instead of tangential, which seems to be more effective with the synthetic liner. You'll have better luck with a high-tack transfer tape also. I also put in cut lines (it's a lot easier than...
  11. Applying then clear coating over vinyl on concrete

    Anybody have experience applying vinyl to concrete, then applying a protective clear epoxy coating? Client is going to apply epoxy to the floor, then wants their logo (not printed but cut vinyl) applied before coating the surface with a clear coating. No forklift traffic, just people. This is...
  12. Gerber Dimension 200 - Sitting for 20 Years

    Artpath is 32 bit, so consider that if you buy a new computer. I have a Dimension 200 but no vacuum system. I cut 6mm black Sintra and taped it down to the bed, then used a surface router bit to make sure everything is flat. I use the ear plugs not for the spindle but for the wet vac. Anyone...

    I think that's way beyond what these people are capable of (the illustration is a low res image off the internet). But I'm going to take your info and recreate the word. Thanks for all your help!!
  16. Anyone recognize this font?

    Sorry for the fuzziness. That C is a hard one.
  17. Wall of Shame

    Paint and wallpaper for commercial/public spaces has to meet flammability requirements by code, and the additives that help limit flame spread also prevent vinyl from sticking. Guardz would have worked, but it's too late now. I agree with the banner idea, or using a house brand of ACM.

    Is it true that if Mama Cass Elliot had given her last sandwich to Karen Carpenter they both might be alive today?
  19. Kerry testified before the House Foreign Affairs Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee

    I believe the climate is in a warming trend and SOME is man-induced. But spending trillions to make us more dependent on other countries for energy is madness. We can't even start to get a handle of climate change until we embrace more nuclear. How much did temps on average drop during covid...
  20. Cutting ACM

    We use a stomp shear--very clean cuts. Also have a panel saw for long cuts. In a pinch I've reverse mounted a saw blade and had pretty good results. Does leave a mess, and then I take a sanding block (80 grit) to knock down sharp edges.
