  1. Need Help Ingersoll-Rand Sprayer

    I purchased their 200G sprayer. Typically for Ingersoll-Rand tools, It came with a lot of information—except how to set up and use the tool. Mainly, there is a male fitting at the bottom of the handle. I assume an air hose attaches there. If so, what kind, size, etc. Thanks very much.
  2. Suggestions Alternative Vendor to Gemini

    Mostly to make custom acrylic letters. Suggested companies should be professional, reliable, cost-effective, and with reasonable turnaround and delivery. We would prefer not to do business in China. Thank you.

  8. Install Signs Level and Perpendicular on Clapboard Siding

    This being New England, we often have to install a sign on clapboard siding. We frequently use aluminum cleats for a nice appearance. This means we have to shim out the cleat that goes on the building, which, in addition to not being the strongest installation, is a lot of extra work. Short of...

I usually peel back the first inch or so of backing, adhere that (dry), and peel the rest of the backing about a foot at a...

    I originally posted this in the wrong place. Sorry. Anyway… I've been experimenting with paint-masking vinyl for larger graphics. However, even with heavy burnishing, some paint (applied with a fine foam roller) always seeps under the mask, and the result is unsatisfactory. I've tried the Avery...
