I would like to get the same stuff, but not sure what it is. Anyone else using some other type of plastic...
  4. Anyone have an idea what causes this?

  5. Rapid Remover

    Not sure what it was, but the owner buffed it out and didn't give me any grief about it
  6. Rapid Remover

    I did a Trans-am eagle install this weekend. The vinyl was old, and the clear premask was stuck so hard to the decal, I had to install it dry. It created some bubbles, but no big deal.

  10. Business evaluation

    Revenue stream is very mixed, and distributed evenly (no one customer or item is dominant). Mostly repeat customers, this is a 30 year old business in a smaller town
  11. Business evaluation

    This is a good point. No, the current owner is a salaried employee (1 of 3), and to me, a tiny business like this can not be run without a very active owner

  19. Employee side business

    I am the employee. My thoughts have always been, it's pretty shady to do a side sign business - I just wanted to hear it from the owners. It really is too easy for me to steal materials / clients / tools I am considering doing side sign work that we don't do here. I need extra cash, but I've...
