  1. How do I get this effect?

    Cool guys. I found some nice grunge brushes that worked out. Not exact, but good enough for what I needed. Here's a small sample...
  2. How do I get this effect?

    Customer sent this in as an example. They like the look of the edges. Looks like a special eraser/brush but I'm not sure which one.....anyone??
  3. Perforated Window Material

    Sorry, 60/40. We considered removing, increasing the density of the image and reprinting. I like the idea of the tint better!
  4. Perforated Window Material

    Here's a pic of the washed out image. And what the image should look like. Tinting the window sounds like a good idea. But how dark would we want to go? Would that effect viewing out the window from the inside drastically?
  5. Perforated Window Material

    Installed a 30"x40" sunset graphic on 60/30 3M window perf. It is installed at a car dealership inside, on an office window. The office has a large bay window and the walls are 10' high without a ceiling. Problem is the image appears "washed out". We did another office window with the same...

    Very Cool! Nice work......now maybe you can convince them to get a new "Cashier-Parts" sign!

  10. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    Uggg, signs weren't install with the adhesive on stucco. The stucco area had a base installed then signs were adhered using adhesive and double stick tape. The double stick tape was there to hold signs while adhesive dried. There 11x17 signs installed direct to precast area that was preped...
  11. Bubbles in Dibond Mounts

    Good point, I'll start doing this as well.
  12. Bubbles in Dibond Mounts

    We have a piece in the office and peeled back an area with the bubbles. The bubbles are between the dibond and mounting adhesive?????
  13. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    Yep, that's the point I'm making. With the advancements in products why can't there be an adhesive that can do this job. As said, I'll monitor the signs over the next 6 months to ensure they stay secure. As for prep, I was not "hands on" for that. Our installation crew handled it and they have...
  14. yard signs

    How much are you looking to spend to get started? Do you have a client base already? Perhaps learning a bit more about the industry and then doing a few outsource projects to "get your feet wet" would help. But if you are serious about it, go to a few manufacturers websites, hit up a few of your...
  15. Banner Hem

    I've been printing scrim vinyl banner's on an HP5500 for about 8 years and have yet to tape or sew one. Typically will use a 1"x1" piece of vinyl with adhesive stuck to the back where grommets will be place or velcro for indoor banners for trade shows. In 8 years have never had a complaint about...
  16. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    Fact is we gave the client what they wanted, signs up with no metal fastener's. The signs are holding, client happy and we received payment. I'll monitor the jobsite checking the status of these signs and I WILL continue to offer this method to clients with similar projects. Large signs, yes...

    Yes, REALLY! You're from the shore, you should know. :U Rock:
  18. Bubbles in Dibond Mounts

    Using 51"x250' roll of GBC Duramount. Same I use for mounting on foam, gator, sintra, coroplast, CS2, Cresent Board. The Dibond is not touched with anything once the release liner is taken off. We put adhesive directly to Dibond. Customer wanted to use paper, just their preference. We are...
  19. Bubbles in Dibond Mounts

    We have a client that will supply us with 1/8 non-textured dibond and prints they have done on 35# coated matte and gloss paper. Dibond is cut to size and still has liner on it. Liner is removed, we then place mounting adhesive on the dibond and mount the print as normally is done using an Orca...
  20. Dibond to Stucco with liquid nails?

    Sorry for the delay. Been extremely busy with new projects! We installed 9 11x17 signs using double stick tape and liquid nails LN-203. (Gino, perhaps you need to learn to use google a little better. There's a whole section on lquid nails adhereing to masonry and metal). The larger 65" sign...
