Yeah, I teach screen printing as well. I use Ulano Blue-Poly films, which are water based and then oil-based inks. Screen printing is a royal pain to teach though, just because it's so messy. The kids enjoy it and really get into making their own shirts. It teaches a good lesson in precision too.

Nice job, that looks like it came out really well!

As some of you may know, I'm a high school graphics teacher in the Philadelphia area. This year, I received a grant for a 24" LaserPoint Cutter and a good amount of vinyl/tools. One of the first projects I did with the kids was a sign for the front classroom doors. We had a 3-color crown followed by 2-color text. The kids absolutely loved it and even asked if they could start a vinyl sign-making club. This semester we're going to get into sandblasting. I ordered a couple cases of aluminum bottles from Dollar Tree and I already had a blast cabinet from Harbor Freight with a 20-gallon Craftsman compressor. So far, the prototypes are coming out great. I'm using glass beads in the blast cabinet @ 90 psi with GreenStar vinyl (and occasionally some masking tape) as a mask. The glass beads are enough to take off the anodized coating from the bottles, but won't remove the vinyl or masking tape unless you really try.

Nice job and thank you! I'm just starting to teach vinyl in the classroom (high school) and I'd like to start adding in the business aspect of it. I'll be doing that next semester, so thank you in advance!

Nice work, the domino's are a great idea. What happened to the "C" on the "Coming Soon" sign?

FYI shipping was $8.66 at checkout. Therefore the total is $9.66 out the door.

I teach Graphic Design/Desktop Publishing at a high school and I make spelling a 40% grade deduction any time a word is misspelled on any document. The kids' spelling is so horrendous, it's the only way to do it. That being said, the results are very positive within just a few assignments.
