Hey all, I seem to remember there was a vendor that offered vehicle templates (for wraps etc.) that you could look up via VIN#. I've looked at all my bookmarks, and I can't seem to find them again. A Google search was equally ineffective. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Howdy all, just trying to get a reality check here on some signs I just bid. I've attached images below, but it's basically a 3 panel handicap parking sign on u-channel post set in a 6" steel bollard pole filled with concrete. We're supposed to install the bollard, and the sign. I bid it at...

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I remember back in the day, that on large flat faced sign cabinets, you sometimes could split the face in two, and use a clear plastic divider bar between the faces. For the life of me, I can't find them. My local supply house (Reece)...

Hello all, I have a good client of mine who is asking me if I can wrap the interior walls of their elevator. The problem I'm having is I'm not sure how to remove the "hand rails" from the walls? There appears to be no obvious set screw, I've looked on all sides of the attachment legs. Anyone...

Howdy all, does anyone have a good printer recommendation who can print on koozies? I've been seriously burned by my last printer, to the point I'm severing our relationship. Hopefully the Signs101 community can recommend some one excellent. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, a family member has an old Bass Ale bar sign, that wouldn't work. I figured out the pull-chain switch was corroded, so I replaced the whole neon power supply. Now, however, when you pull the chain, the sign lights up briefly (up to 30 seconds) then dies. Any advice on what could be...

Howdy all, I'm looking for recommendations for cleaning acrylic? I've used denatured alcohol in the past, and it's caused "crazing" in the acrylic. My local plastics supplier wants to sell me their in-house cleaner for $9/bottle. Any recommendations out there? I'm mostly interested in...

Howdy all, I'm just looking for some recommendations for lettering an awning? Customer has one of those Awntech awnings installed, an the fabric is 100% acrylic. Any suggestions from the community on how to letter on it? Would it be best to try a heat press vinyl? Or perhaps a temporary...

I am a owner of a small sign business in the Gulfport, MS area. I'm looking to relocate to New Orleans. I have almost 10 years of experience in all aspects of the sign industry. Including, but not limited to: sales, design, manufacturing, installation, and customer service. I am skilled in...

Howdy all, I'm looking for dealers of scrolling type signs. I found Zuni, but I need a few more. Any recommendations? Thanks all, Brent

Howdy all, got a question I hope someone here can answer. I'm painting a faux monument style sign, and I want to add some texture to it. Now I've noticed there are other signs in my area, where the sign maker put a "popcorn" type texture on the poles, base, etc. Problem is, I can't figure...

Howdy all, I have a good customer of mine who wants a flag with their logo on it to display on their boat. Anyone know of a wholesale flagmaker that does one-off prints? Thanks,

Howdy all, A customer of mine recently invited me to give a presentation to a business group (day care centers) she chairs. The meeting is about increasing your revenues through advertising. She's invited someone from TV, radio, magazine, internet, and newspaper. She wants me to represent...

Howdy all, I recently had a customer ask if I could order her some changeable copy sliding track letters. Looking at the letters she has, they are 6 1/8" panel height, and 5 3/8" letter height. On the bottom they say "Gulf Dev" as the manufacturer. Obviously, Pronto and Wagner Zip don't...

Howdy all, I'm looking at ordering a pan faced sign for customer. I'm sourcing the acrylic myself, and looking for a subcontractor to vacuum form the pans for me. What I wanted to know was, if I start with a 5' x 5' sheet, will the dimensions change ( i.e. become larger ) when formed on...

Can somone direct me to a U.S. website where they have CoCut for sale? The only thing I've found on Goggle had it in Euros, and my German is not up to par (page was in German ?).

Can we get some honest feedback on the Enduracut 24" plotters from S.W.? And not "S.W. sux, Enduracut sux, get a real plotter you cheap @$$". I'm looking for some real feedback from users who have used one in a real production environment, and what the drawbacks are compared to higher-end...

I have to admit, I get a headache when it comes to picking fonts. I've got probably a few hundred fonts on the PC, and it makes I head hurt when it comes to picking one. Does anyone have a "at a glance" way of looking at all their fonts, breaking them down by similarity, something? I got my...

Hey everyone. I may have a 2'x8' piece of Oracal 3651 with 210 laminating printed for me. I would need to apply this to a 2'x8' coroplast sheet. My questions are: 1) Can you wet apply this stuff? ( Desperatly want to avoid air bubbles ) 2) How hard is it to work with applying versus...

Anyone have a good recommendation for a wholesaler for acrylic letters? I used BuySignLetters.com on one order, but I'm paying them retail. Thanks!
