  3. Etched Glass

    This is easy money jobs, I cut the stencil using sign vinyl..apply, get some armour etch from a hobby store and apply as per instructions. I etch twice (apply,rinse,apply,rinse) for a uniform etch...and as they say in france..voila.
  4. Etched Glass

    if you have a vinyl cutter, just cut a stencil...some armour etch from a hobby store and a garden hose. I put the etch cream on twice (apply ,rinse, apply rinse)..making the stencil is the hardest part...and is easy if you have a cutter. easy money.
  5. How do you help customers will low budgets out?

    Thats good advice...esp for a startup with limited cash. I go with clipart and arial fonts :) when I can...Ive also traded for their services. Had a guy that runs an adventure outfit, Limited funds for signage so I helped him out and in return had a nice weekend gold panning with him and a...
  6. Vinyl, Screen-Printing or other?

    yup, me too, Cadcut the foil and heat press it on ..or screenprint an adhesive and heat press a gold foil on would probably look best. The cool thing about the heat press is you dont have to press the entire image in one shot.
  7. Does anybody have a creative way of recycling all the backing paper we throw away?

    I screenprinted them. There are vinyls you can print with ecosols that can be heat pressed on t's ...tho the hand is pretty thick, I refuse to put that type of stuff on tshirts because of the thick feel...ball caps and bags are good tho'.

  9. Sintra for Exterior Signs

    that's pretty cool, havent tried my hand at process yet but when I do if my first came out as good I'd have the encouragement to keep at it. As far as Cintra tho', Ive heard bad things about outdoor use...but, i like the stuff ... so I laminate it with sign vinyl as a base colour (even...
  10. Bumping Heads w/ the Internet

    I tell them to order it online quick before the shop goes out of business, we rarely get those type here...but thats what i like to tell them. Another thing I noticed about those type of peeps is after I suggest they get the cheap stuff online.. they will order from me instead...You dont get...
  11. new to heat press use...?'s

    a teflon pillow is more handy than a sheet, I use the carrier sheets from sign vinyl instead of the teflon sheets.
  12. Does anybody have a creative way of recycling all the backing paper we throw away?

    Thats what I thought it would do...Turns out it prints real nice, I use plastisols btw. I wouldnt imagine you could store these tho',.. ive seen the oils seep into the paper when it was uncured. Next time your press is set up give it a try.
  13. Does anybody have a creative way of recycling all the backing paper we throw away?

    print on the silicon side, flash and heatpess on. I use it mostly for hats and caps.
  14. Does anybody have a creative way of recycling all the backing paper we throw away?

    I use it for my heat press when making tshirts to keep my platen clean, I screenprint on them for heat transfers.. also for drawing templates on my plotter. I love the stuff.
  15. received a cold call from this guy...real crook

  16. Worst sign I've seen in a while

    Maybe the motel owner got what he paid for ... usually at low prices quality is the first thing to suffer. I agree about the hagglers, its the norm in their own country, they come to this part of the world and bring their customs with them expecting us to change our cultures to accommodate them...
  17. silk screening made easy

    ive done it that way for a long time too, no screen damage. What i found is your best off to remove the vinyl when your done cuz it sticks terribly after a few days and is harder to remove.:Canada:
  18. It's called ingenuity

    That's sweet, mine holds great registration too ... sez a man with the rubber mallet...taptaptap....taptap.
  19. It's called ingenuity

    heres my homemade press, i used a barstool swivel for the base. I also use calendared vinyl for small runs...up to 48 pieces with vinyl. i mirror,reverse weed and stick it to the shirt side of the screen and saves from having to burn and reclaim. saves alot of time and this little press makes me...
