Got a call from a Fast Signs in a city several states away asking if I could do a site survey. I said sure and gave him my email address. Got the request and it stated the location was Fxxxxxxxx Demonology Clinic. Should I go do this survey or just pass on it?

Here's a sign at a condo complex we did this week. When the management company called they asked if we could make a sign that would be better-looking than the one their HOA board did by themselves. Do you think we succeeded? BEFORE: AFTER:

I need someone who can make a circle sign blank 18" diameter from .080 aluminum. Is there anyone that can do it? If you have direct-print capability you can print it too. I just need one. Don't refer me to Hall Signs. I've been waiting 3 weeks for a price from them and despite calling them 3...

Tried all the usual search places and FMF, but coming up with nothing for the font used on "The 25th Annual Holiday" and the date.

Just changed the name on a boat and the previous name used a shadow cut from really thin chrome material that feels like Mylar--not stretchable at all. Feels thinner than cast vinyl. That stuff should be banned. It was deteriorated from the sun and was impossible to remove by the normal methods...

Saw this on social media. Purposeful?

Trying to decide how I'm going to hang a sign bracket on a building made of limestone block. The sign that was taken down was also hung from a projecting pole (an electric sign much larger than what we are hanging), and was attached with brackets screwed to drop-in anchors (what people used to...

Is there anyone around still doing this? Anyone near Lake of the Ozarks who'd be willing to do a wall painted sign?

Trying to decide whether to prime and paint my routed aluminum blank or take it to get powdercoated. Any potential problems with powdercoat and adhesion of HP vinyl?

Simple looking font with quirky shapes. Large, clear file. You'd think the font search tools would eat this up. But no. Anyone recognize this?

This is a photo a customer sent me. We are doing a new name for the boat and he took off the old name himself. It was black vinyl with a tan vinyl shadow. It had been on the boat for some time, but he doesn't know how long; it was the previous owner's name. He said he has removed all the...

A while back I asked for a supplier of ACP custom routed sign blanks. Now I need one made from .080" aluminum, but the people I was referred to for the ACP don't do solid aluminum. Anybody know of a source? I would provide the file for the shape.

We did a local sign installation of a sign that was shipped ready to install from a big sign company in Alabama yesterday. It came in a large, heavy crate, bolted to a steel frame inside the crate. When we unpacked it, there was a dent in one of the faces of the sign (it's .063 aluminum on a...

Looking for a supplier of custom router-cut 6mm aluminum composite panel sign blanks. I browsed the merchant area but it doesn't seem any of them do this. Anyone know of a good one? I've searched and there are none within a reasonable drive of us.

I used to have places I could get custom cut substrate shapes from, but they have either gone out of business or stopped providing the service. I am needing 5 or 6 circles cut from white .063" aluminum, 18" diameter. Who can I get them from?

I am trying to do pricing on a wallcovering job. It will be a dividing wall in a shop building. The wall is painted sheetrock, flat except for lightswitches and such. There are two 12x12 garage door openings in it (which don't have to be covered). The wall is 90' long. At the ends it's 16' tall...

Our 54" plotter is malfunctioning, but it's going to be at least 3 weeks before the replacement comes. In the meantime, I was thinking about using the rotate function in Onyx v. 12 Cut-Server to be able to use our 30" Graphtec plotter while we wait. I can rotate the job, it shows me the feed...

Our old Mimaki plotter is showing signs of shooting craps, and I'm looking at a new Graphtec FC9000. We use Onyx Production House 12. The salesman is telling me I'll need to update my Onyx to use the new plotter. He won't say definitely that we can't cut with v12, but is just leaving it...

Another day another weird installation. New store moving into an old building, long disused. It was originally a 19th century/turn of century brick building, that some time after the lake was dammed in 1930 was refurbished with the then-modern black architectural glass that is stuck to the...
