Ugh....WHY!?!?!

Think this would work on sintra "crumbs"? When we get projects back from our C&C guy, even though they blow them off, there are still lots of little sintra crumbs all over the place. impossible to get out of carpet lol

I don't see why not. You don't need to press hard as the silicone is quite tacky naturally so they should stick without putting any pressure on the roller.

I don't even get that much dust when I cut mine. Are the edges smooth or do you have to sand them?

The blanks are really nice but the cover sheets not so much.

Air compressor! But seriously that should have been done while the sheet was still vacuumed down on the table. Also it looks like they ran the bit backwards. These are the edges I typically see on my drops, not cut parts.
Agreed that if you ordered one, the follow up order should match, and I'd kindly explain why I'm ordering one in the first place, and that I need the following 200 to be of the same standard.

I actually did explain why I was purchasing one blank to the same person I requested a discount for 117 more from so I was a little surprised to receive these but it's all good. The blanks are nice and they'll work now that I hammered through them and removed all the plastic.

Heck, most times as long as the exposed surface is pretty clean, I won't even remove the cover sheet but rather keep it intact as a buffer, kind of like a slip sheet, to prevent damage to the finished signs. But in this case, I had no choice but to remove and make dust everywhere.

I don't see how they make money cutting aluminum blanks on a cnc. They must have had a supply issue and this was the backup. Blanks cost a premium, they should be clean.

Hello, and welcome to Wal-Mart.....

I once got custom pre cut magnetic material from Harbor that looked like that - except the debris was magnetic chips - almost impossible to remove due to attraction-

Since when does Grimco cut plastic? I can't get them to send me the correct product when i order it, not sure I would trust anyone there with power tools!

Large qty of blanks with a radius and holes, we would route.

Are the edges smooth or must they be sanded? I'm not sure.

118 blanks,
Looks like a lot of cleaning and shit everywhere.

I wouldn't mind a few or even a dozen but that crap is going to be everywhere in your shop.
Reach out to your rep and tell them your not happy, I would...
Anytime I get aluminum blanks it has a thin pink protective layer that pulls up pretty easily.

jeebus. if I didn't have a giant vein bulging out of my eyeball already, that would surely be my tipping point

 

[Geneva Olson]

oh wow. my boyfriend would have thrown a fit. We cut ours outside and he complains everytime. That stuff makes a terrible mess.

Shop-Vac, stiff bristle brush & a minimum wage employee or unpaid relative/child and you are golden (same formula used to get sand out of vehicle carpet).

 

[Johnny Best]

Well that was back in 2021. Hope he got them all cleaned up by now.

We order 4' x 8' sheets of alum all the time and they have the blue or pink cover on them. We peel that off right away. Couldn't they just peel that off before chopping them up. Takes all of 5 seconds. But to peel them off after chopped is nuts.

Its protecting the surface during the cutting. And shipping

keeps dirt off of them too

Due to an almost constant lack of satisfaction with Grimco, we made the switch to Wensco recently. Unfortunately, Wensco doesn't sell these blanks, so I had to use Grimco. We would get so much damaged product from Grimco, it was crazy. Some were the shipper's fault, but most of it came out of the warehouse that way.

I recently ordered a few hundred sign blanks for www.usstandardsign.com, Grimco's price was ridiculous. Maybe give them a try instead.
