    I've used up all the good stuff, but the rest is just too wrinkle and bent from tornadoes, brush hogs hitting them, Cars hitting the signs, old vinyl hat has been on them for 5 or 6 years.... It's worth the fuel just to drive it some where to get it out my yard... I retired from the trade, and...

  6. Paint coming off the wall in big chunks

    Could be a number of things... putting Latex over Oil Base paint. Not dry enough due to humidity.... If the drywall underneath is damp... hard to say. Blame it on your employees and tell the customer you fired them! Hahahahaha.... I'm only serious... SW used to be the cats bottom! Now a...

  8. Substrate question

    Very interesting, and, I have noticed many of the things you have pointed out, and those are a few of the reasons I stopped using ACMs... Also if I may add, the fact that they are very hard to dispose of at a recycler, because most have told me they consider them more plastic and not enough...

    I still have my lettering brushes and some One Shot! That old enough.? Hahahhaa... Thanx for even looking at the picture. That's what it's there for, and, I'm looking for suggestions on a substrate that might work as a single sheet, nothing more. Yes! That's how I always do these type...
  15. Substrate question

    There are a couple places around Dallas that will roll it for me, but like I stated, I was hoping to find a good thick sheet of something to use, hence asking if PVC might be a good choice. Remember, the customer is leading the way at this point, and when he is done running amok with ideas, I...
  16. Substrate question

    I'm from the South Shore of Lake Erie! Lake Effect! Same as what you have.... That's why I left, hot here, but much better Winters and Falls and Springs... With a nice frame behind it, yeah, it's OK, But again, I'm old skool and I have tried using Dibond and others, as I call them, skimpy...
  17. Substrate question

    I'm not sure if that would be strong enough... This is Texas, and the wind is not kind to sign faces... I hope to have the frame with a sheet of something on each side... So for it to last, it needs to be strong.... I was really hoping to NOT use a frame, but old skool still rules I think....
