So after several failed attempts I figured out the problem. It's not dust. it's hundreds of micro bubbles. I'm painting in cold 50 degree temperature and not thinning my paint enough, AND, I'm putting the paint on too heavy. I'm now thinning with one shot low temp reducer and using just...

Unclebun. Thank you.

Thanks. I keep using one shot because that is what I know. It's what I was taught 30 years ago. Latex is not going to offer that high-gloss sheen of an enamel paint. Maybe I am wrong. Old habits die hard.

Thanks Guys

Yep, I am using a foam roller.

Yes Sir. Ya know this is making me crazy. I do sanding and routing in this room and even tho I am very clean I may need to try and paint in another room.

I've coated many boards back in the day but it has been awhile. Anyway it appears there are dust specs in my finished boards. I always keep my work area clean and use a tack cloth prior to painting. I picked up some screens and ran the one shot thru some paper screen cones. I thin the paint...

Squares are more common

I'm curious if anyone can get the Roland GR 540 plotter to track more than 12'. I'd love to hear if anyone has solid advice on this issue. Before I start complaining I want to say I have used a large Graphtec plotter when I ran the vinyl department at Arrow Sign Company in Oakland 15 years ago...

Here is one more. 1/2" thick PVC Letters, matte acrylic, vinyl, stand-off's and a piece of plywood.

Here is a project where I cut 1/2" thick black PVC letters. Then I ran painters paper thru my plotter with a sandblast blade and made an installation pattern.

My latest project with the Shapeoko

Actually it was pretty easy to get good results. I'm not real handy with tools but I assembled in half a day. I have no previous experience using a router although I have always worked in shops that had a cnc but I worked in the design department so I've never ran one of these. I was not sure...

I would love to hear about how you upgraded your Shapeoko. Dennis@stanworthsign.com

Here is another sign I have made with the Shapeoko .

I have recently purchased the Shapeoko router for my shop. Turned out to be a good purchase. It cost less than my vinyl cutter. At $1,800 definitely worth a look. Comes as a kit and has a 33" x 33" cutting area. I think the z axis has 4". Here are some images of the table and a cool little...

Here is the Shapeoko router and a cool little routed sintra sign I made.

I agree with you 100% Mr. Burton. I am not sure why we all cant just get along and follow the rules. Architects! Ugh! I could walk away but they feed me a lot of work and I have bills to pay. So I look the other way. Dennis

Signs of our Times will always speak up if there is an issue with the design files I have setup. I recently had a question about putting braille on exterior apartment room unit numbers, dwelling units. They put me in touch with Susan Moe, the State Architects Compliance officer. They are a...
