Buy the saw for sure. If you can get it under 900. Good saw. Will last a lifetime and the saw is easy to replace or up grade. We use SteelDemon blades for cutting all ferrous and non ferrous metals. Buy the correct blade for what you are cutting. To make the blades last longer we start the saw...

Is "without fastener " only for the face or to be also considered the goal on the rear? We use VHB Tape for a variety of projects, primarily the 5900 series. Some of the tests 3M has done with it is remarkable. I would probably go with something like texas_signmaker suggested I think. Mount...

I rearly post anything dealing with opinions because I believe we all know in our hearts what the truth is and if we dont we will learn. Seeking knowledge is about facts and experience not opinions, but social media continues to embrace truth as the popular oplnion. Maybe im just old. But this...

Well as far as decal removal goes this is not at the beginner level. Not saying that you cannot do this but it will cost you time and money and earn you experience for certain. Somebody offered to help that has some experience with this I would consider taking them up on this just to use the...

We use steam because the Primer 94 makes removal much more difficult. Steam gives us a more controllable & much slower heat rise that makes it easier to find the most optimal temperature for removal. Primer 94 increases adhesion to the point where flame removal is not productive. With primer 94...

With really old and weathered decals as long as it not polished or painted, we brush on Paint remover until it melts off. Unfortunately this leaves solid adhesive, which we pre-spray with adhesive remover or apply more more paint remover then pressure wash off.

Trailer fleet Decal Removal: The Chief steamer is a fair product retrofitted with a plunger head on the end to capture and control steam. Chief has a 120v($1000) version and a 220v($2000) version. Difference is amount of sustained volume. Very affordable for an entry level system. For a more...

Good question, we always installed with torches, a heat gun was cumbersome when on scaffolds in the middle of a lot somewhere. I dove(more like surfed down another rabbit hole) into this and found some tech bulletins mention hazing or damage and notes "conformity at lower temps". I wonder if it...

What do you mean?

great info , thanks!

as a grunt I thank you for your support! :)

Is that gray stuff behind decal a block out layer? would love to hear how it went. I have seen material look like a nightmare and the come off easy and look easy then turn into a nightmare. That picture appears as if the majority is the laminate cracking and the vinyl the secondary cracks.

Never a big deal....Until it is. And when it is, it really, really is. I have actually had customers who literally did cry. The forum is here, unless I am mistaken and apologize ahead of time, is to share knowledge of our industry successes and difficulties, as well as solve common obstacles and...

Nice job. Sharp van

We have been experimenting with vinyl removal products for a very long time. The results in the video, in my experience, can only be a highly toxic chemical. It is my guess that the description is misleading as it states only that it is biodegradable but no mention of its toxicity. The only...

I was not now or ever concerned with my experience being disputed. That aside, I have always wondered at the concept of installing less than top quality vinyl on anything that will have to be removed(vehicles, trailers, windows, floors, etc.). The premise is that the customer always stays on the...

Just about any vinyl not reflective or metallic will be removable "without causing a lot of damage" within 18 months if you know what you are doing. Let the customer know that Paint can be burned, scraped, scratched, melted, and scuffed. Panels can bow and dent, glass can crack, emblems can fall...

I just noticed your reply to my thread. Are you trying to sell the other products you mentioned as comparable? Comparable is another one of the vague terms loosely tossed around to save money or increase profit on the front end. The vinyl from my post was not specified as a "permanent" vinyl...

Ghost Off from CT is decent solution on sheet and post trailers pending age and condition trailers I haven't used it on fiberglass. With Boats and FOB, we have had good results with rubbing compound and rewax in addition to a product called Star Brite Color Restorer. Due to the multitude of...

We have done similar removals. 4 windows @ 64 sqft each. 3.5 hours on actual cracked material($650) and 1.5 hours($275) on material where only the laminate was cracked. Without testing, I would have estimated 1/2 day rate for 2 person team with materials at total bid of $700-$1200 with a OR...
