    wine grape vines

    Anyone have something? I am looking for something I can make a pattern out of to etch onto a wineglass as a gift...Thanks. I have some grape bunches if anyone is interested in me posting...
  2. As most of us know, BannerJohn suffered an unfortunate heart attack the other day. I don't really know John, but I believe he is retired and goes off banner sales for what I assume would be his major income? I think it would be a great support, help and thank you for all his shared wisdom if maybe we can paypal him some bucks to help him out in his time of need...I am pretty sure he would never ask for this and I know times are tough. But just think about all the free help and advice he has given! It's definitely worth more than I personally can give! With 4000 members (not sure how many are active though), even just a few bucks can add up! So don't be embarrassed if you can only give a buck or two, things will add up...Hey, worst case it'll get him enough to buy some banners/supplies when he gets back on his feet to get him going again. Bannerguyjohn@gmail.com is verified as Johns paypal account address! Also, credit is due to Benr98 too for helping on this one!
  3. Just thought I'd share this with you guys...It made my life easier. I keep forgetting to post this, but just remembered, it's nothing mind blowing but will make your daily routine easier! You know the rollers that hold, spin and feed the vinyl into the cutter...Well, you know the sliding disc that keeps the vinyl in place back there...I got tired of moving the rubber grommet back and forth trying to get it just right when using different size rolls...I picked up some small plastic clamps at the dollar store and use one of them to clamp the disc in place where I need it. I put the grommet at the very end so when I use a full width roll, it's all ready set. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it really makes things easier!

    Noob from Central PA

    Welcome from SE PA! Some ppl use the cutter to score the pattern on thick stock, then cut the rest out. Sorry I am not to familiar with cutting gaskets. I've heard ppl do it for bike gaskets, but it just doesn't seem right to me...

    631 on a Banner

    You should be alright as long as it isn't anything crazy in detail...Prep the banner well and dry apply. Make sure you handle the banner with care. You might want to see if anyone wants to trade of 631 for some 651 in the For Sale section...
  8. Cool thanks...This would be a great idea for an A frame too!
  9. Very clever...I like it! What would you charge for something like that?

    New Logo For my Biz

    Yeah, I thought of a movie ticket from that shape...My only other suggestion is to move you logo upper left and stack your list on the right (or vise versa)
  13. Once I cut text for a friends hood the wrong way. I ended up cutting another the proper way and pressing one on the outside (the proper one) and one on the inside (the backwards one) on the lip of his hood. It came out pretty cool like an optical illusion. The only other thing not mentioned that I can think of is getting an IR gun to make sure your press is at the right temperature.

    Setting up a template???

    I am trying to set up templates for my cars parts...Interior trim and exterior lenses. Any advice on how to do so? I tried freehanding vinyl over the parts and peeling them off, but b/c of the curves of some pieces, the vinyl won't sit flat (so I can scan the shape in). Anyone do this or have any ideas/pinters?

    question about Oracle matte vinyl

    Corel

    No...you can copy/paste from Corel to SB. But I've had problems doing that (CDR12). I simply export to EPS in a Plotter folder (then a subfolder). This is the best option anyway (since you can't cut from CDR10). What program are you cutting with?
