I have not used the stretch yet. I press twice using parchment paper at 290-300 degrees and 19 secs each press, never had a problem that I know of.

i'd charge extra for the crackle effect. works for the furniture guys.

101LEDs what is that material that you cut?

I do not have, nor have I ever used an air eraser. But I can tell you, the cabinet is well worth the investment. There are a lot of opportunities to recoup the cost. Outside of custom orders & gifts, I do a lot of wholesale orders for other companies.

If it were me, I'd save the complete image as it is, with both components. Then I would delete the base image, leaving the outline and the "SAVE AS" using a different name.

I see that you ordered 1 ft sections. I ordered a few samples of the colors like that too, and they were shipped, rolled inside one of my tubes of vinyl. Banners also were packed inside the oracal tubes.

oh! ooops! where do you edit the title? or delete a post?

I chose to start at a low temp with a few pressings at lower times, but eventually got the mix right. If you have not tapped this market yet, it's huge for shirts, mats, workout bags and paired with... wine related everything. ie.. drinking wine in my yoga pants etc. I also monogram - etch and vinyl wine glasses for the local wine shop's customers. Wine shop takes the order, I etch and return. Wholesale.

yes, it does work on yoga mats. weather tested for the outdoor classes too and it holds up great.

More constructive criticism: Being "attentive and slow" as you said, is NOT besides the point. It is the point. If you are going to make a video, you want to show the customers that you have a system and a flow that can produce their work in a timely fashion. In this industry - the early bird gets the worm - holds strong! I get 25% of my new customers from 'the guy up the road will not return my calls or is still not finished and I need it now". I get 25% of my new customers from walk ins - most that need it now and wait, the other 50% from referrals because I was able to knock their buddy's job out quickly and efficiently and to spec. Not only are your customers going to see your drawn out process, SO WILL YOUR COMPETITORS. Yep, we all scope out our competition at one time or another. Do not give them ammunition to use against you. Please don't get upset with us, you did post your efforts and 'the pros' gave you their professional opinions. I know ego blows suck but it is how we learn. We all go through it in some fashion. You are here because you want to learn. There is a lot to learn in this industry and there are a lot of professionals on this forum that will help guide you. Yeah some are a little hard around the edges, but if you listen to their advice, you will learn more than you ever thought even applied to this industry.

You really expect us to believe that is your FIRST sign??? Great job!

If you need closer spacing after you type it out.....go to the "Arrange" tab at top, select create outlines. You may or may not need to ungroup each depending on how much you type. Then you can select individual letters or more to adjust spacing.

I would bring into photoshop to clear out background. there are lots of settings in illustrator, corel, photoshop, inkscape to get the effect that you are going for.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing

Have you tried running through inkscape? Should only take a few minor edits.

If in Charlotte, Sunbelt Sign Supply - truck/van delivery, flat fee for delivery - varies by location. Sunbelt has the best prices for substrates around. (or that I've found) Alumapanel in Greer - also delivers by van/truck to the Charlotte and surrounding. Free delivery over a certain amount.

oooo! oooooh! pick me! pick me! i love web stuff.

we have an ebay store for our antique business. i think it's 169/mo. us sales have dropped off significantly but not international. it has a lot to do with the time of year. people are spending on back to school shopping, supplies and last minute vacations. it usually picks up by the end of september.

Scraps of 651 work great for mask! I like using white for the cuts, colors for excess coverage, seems to make seeing the blast area easier. Then again, I don't have 18 year old eyes.

School is back in and so are the requests for school gear. Did anyone by chance find a definitive answer for public use?

i use goo gone when it will not scrape off easily, just wipe on heavily then scrape with handheld straight razor.

seriously, how do you get anything done in that space? If I knew how to work in that kind of organization, I might clean up a little around here.

use the highest % of alcohol for wiping down prior to install. once on the glass, spray the tape with app spray or even water while applied to glass, let it sit for a few seconds. it will start to wrinkle and comes off super easy!
