  1. Friday fun - Ugly sign contest

    I knew of a Cross Signs in New Orleans in the mid 70's. Any connection? His name was Bill Cross.
  2. Greeting and Howdy

    Just checking in with an earlier question, (and thanks for the response). Haven't been on for awhile. Been in the sign game since 1974. Semi-retired unless the money's too good to pass up, or its a slam-dunk-job. I forgot how interesting some of the subject matter in this forum is. Keep up...
  3. Sealing vinal letters on canvas awning

    Thanks all for the help and advice. Seems the trade is going in full circle. Hand lettered many awnings in New Orleans in the early 70's. To some out there, that was the only way to do them. I remember up on a ladder, one hand holding a cup of paint, the other my brush. Almost all the jobs...
  4. Sealing vinal letters on canvas awning

    Hi all. Been awhile since I've visited. Still in the letter presentation business. Has anyone ever used Superfrog Frog juice to seal letters on a canvas with positive results? I've added heat and rivet brushed the letters down, but don't feel comfortable with the hold. Thanks for the help...
  5. Pensacola Christmas morning Breakfast..........on the patio, 62 degrees & sunny.

    I lived in P-Cola back in the 70's. Painted billboards for Lamar Outdoor. from Pensacola to Fort Walton Beach, and all points in between. Great place to winter. Come May, I'm back in Chicago where pay was about twice as much as Fla. (for outdoor lettering) Did the Snow-birding for about 4 years...

    Try to barter with Brad. If he can offer services you can use, so be it. If not, say no thanks. Keep it friendly.

  8. My new company website!

    Thanks for the comments. Since I startd this thread, I have seen some fantastic sites with some very sharp graphics and presentations. Again, my site is a work in progress and very temporary. I have contacted a web designer and have been greeted with new ideas and layouts. I am still open...

  10. My new company website!

    First off. I want to thank all who responded. I have much to learn and am open to all ideas. This is very new to me and wonder if its more trouble than its worth. I have looked at many other sign companies sites recently with mixed opinions. I guess I'm still old school. To Jackpine. The...

  14. How to handle this.

    Are these stainless tankers? Are you removing reflective? Sounds like a pain in the rump. Everyone's watching their penny's Be friendly with your neighbors, you have to see em everyday. Maybe they will leave a ton of glue on em and get in trouble.
  15. I have to thank other sign shops for the following rant

    You folks seem to forget. Once upon a time, either your artwork was handed to you or it was faxed. Then you made patterns. What happened next was from your skill and talent.
  16. Fast Signs .com on Fox News

  18. Umm...Goodbye?

    Fort Meyer Beach. Down the road from The Master Bait Shop. Classic wall sign. :Oops:
  19. Umm...Goodbye?

    New generation-old generation. I know a goodbye is polite, I'm not a phone person, yet my sign jobs rely on the phone. I'm guilty. In business since the 70's. Maybe a "BU BUUUUY" is in order from now on. :doh:
