I have a client asking me to make 4" thick letters. It's a smaller budget, so my plan is to cut 4" foam and apply either 3mm PVC or a thin sheet of wood to the back of the letters. The client thinks they can just Velcro the letters to the truss. I am worried that they would fall during the...

I have a hedge wall that I would like to adhere 14mm PVC letters. The easiest way to mount the letters would be applying them onto a clear sheet of Plexi. Then I would only have 4 mounting spots. Instead of using a clear sheet, how else can I easily mount the letters directly to the hedge wall...

The architect I'm working with asked that we apply braille and tactile lettering directly to the wall for ADA code signs. I called the access board and they said there's no ADA provision stating signs must be on a placard, so long as they're at the correct location. Would it be possible to...

Can anyone give me any insight into how I would go about wrapping graphics on this wall? I haven't run into this situation before, so I'm curious if anyone else has installed in a similar space, and if you can give me any tips/tricks/pointers. it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

I have a project to install a 4x6ft wood sign into the ground (grass/dirt). I plan to use two 4x4 wood posts. My question is how far do the posts need to go into the ground? Is cement needed to stabilize the posts after installing the posts into the ground? I used to have a pro installer do...

As I've said before, I'm quite new to the business and still trying to get a handle on die-cut decal pricing and installs for doors and windows. Realizing that every market is different, wondering if folks wouldn weigh in on an estimate for the following jobs that were done in eastern Canada...

I am really stupid when it comes to tiling out jobs for walls with corners. My brain just cant think straight when there is a mural that needs to go around a corner or double back. I have learned to leave 2" bleed on all sides and to overlap corners with 2". My problem is the math, I get so...

hey y'all, wondering if anyone's familiar with wrapping outdoor electrical boxes? one of our clients is considering graphics on the attached utility box(es). I'm not sure how in-depth they're going, as I am still setting up a site evaluation to go out and take a look/measurements/photos/etc...

Hi everyone, We are currently deciding whether to switch from Oracal 3164 to Avery MPI 3000 as our primary low cost vinyl. We print primarily on HP latex 65500 and the print seems better on the Avery. The 3164 sometimes gets wrinkled because of the heat of the print. We have experience on...

Hi Everyone, I have a customer that wants his logo stretching across the doors of all his work vehicles. I used 3m 780mC white. The idea is that his vehicles are white and you don't really see his logo until it is reflecting light. Anyway, I used the 780 just contour cut without laminate and...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has made their own textured wall installation tools, because the "pro" tools available are wildly overpriced, for what seems like a basic foam roller. What alternative tools do you use for textured walls? Thanks!
