  1. thank you all for your responses.  I will check the rain-x issue then move to a higher grade vinyl if needed.  I don't keep over 651 in stock because its more expensive and I have never had and issue before although I have never installed on the front windshield always the back and I don't think people put rain-x on the back too much. 


  2. So I installed a decal yesterday to the top front windshield of a truck.  I did this with white Orcal 651.  It wasn't cold yesterday but it was over cast.  I get a message this morning that some of the letters is falling off.  They sent me a pic.  It started raining sometime during the night and the windshield wipers pulled off some of the letters this morning.  Do you have any suggestions on why they would have peeled?  This was my first windshield.  I have installed on back glass with a wiper without problems.  May the glue did not have time to adhere well enough?:huh:  I will be replacing but for future reference I don't want this to happen again. 

     

    Thanks for any advice in advance.

     

     


  3. Where is the best place to buy blank sign material.  I do this on the side and have had several requests todo larger signs than I've ever done.  Most places require a Tax ID or resell #.  Does anyone know a place that sells larger pieces of materals?  thanks


  4. I have a MH series cutter and started having problems with the blade.  It doesn't seem to keep the pressure that I set it on. I used to cut at 40-50 pressure but now it will cut a sample piece fine but when I cut the design its like it looses the pressure then I can't weed the design. I have changed to a new blade but still didn't work. I have not logged a ticket has anyone else had this problem?

     

    Looking forward to hearing your experiences. Thanks in advance.

  5. I've had trouble pricing these as well.  I usually do $15 for one sided one color. $20 for two sided one color and up from that.  I don't get request for these very often thank goodness.  I have applied on both sides with out a under layer.  I've never noticed that the back side shows thru.  People kinda look at you funny when you price something like that and they see signs along the road that says"signs like this just $.99 each).  Hell, I pay that for the coroplast not including the stake.

  6. Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to get everyones opinion on the Sunie Heatpress.  I was reading some posts on here and several people seemed have very good luck with them.  I am doing heat transfers from proworld and  heat press vinyl.  I also looked at the press with several attachments.  Are these machines worth the money?  I have a press now but it is not digital nor do I think it has even pressure.  I would like to upgrade but not wanting to spend $1000.00 but then again I want to make sure what I do buy will press transfers from proworld correctly. 

    thanks for any input.

  7. I received my sample roll today and OMG they sent a 48" x 5 yd roll.  I so appreciate it but I will have to cut some off as I use it because my cutter is only 24" wide.  I recommend everyone request something that they could use.

    thanks for the info
