    Dad is finally coming home

    That's great news! HA! The great stash rush. Mark the boxes you stash in with what's inside so you don't end up cursing yourself for not being able to find anything in a hurry.

    Vinyl color swatch

    That's awesome. My idea is not so original and could be illegal. My idea is to admittingly steal your idea. That is, unless you sell these premade? If so, then I'd just buy one from you and keep the patent folks away.

    Final Cut.

    these are much easier to use than scissors. most cutters have a ridge or line that you can follow to glide down while cutting a straight edge.

    Tig Welder in action?

    Thank you arty-rc. I'll show this to him.
  6. Is it just my computer or is there a site glitch? I am trying to see the different options uscutter now offers for htv but not able to get past page 1, not able to sort by the checklist, etc.
  7. Using 651 - 24 x 36 = 6 x $10 = $60 x 5 windows - $300 751 or 951 is higher based on amount removal - $65/hr plus extra if a lot of supply used. 1 hour min charge

    They broke into our shop...

    Sorry to hear that. Good luck with sorting it out. We do have a camera system, both doors are posted "24/7 Video Surveillance" and you can clearly see 8 cameras around the store. We were broken into last year. The City police could not help. We were told the guy was a "new criminal face" to our area. His face was blasted on the local news channels as well as the area papers and still nothing. Then at our home, we have land across the street that we are building on. A thief comes three times WITH a trailer, steals all of the brand new appliances, rolls and rolls of chain link fence, ac unit, wiring, tools and so more. Over 20k in items. We catch him on video, the County detective picks him up shows him the video and he admits to it. We have the scrap yard receipts matching - his tag and license and everything he stole from us. He gets a slap on the wrist because it was a construction site, not a home. No restitution, no time in jail, not even probation. Don't count on the police. We dealt with city and county with no results from either. Cameras are good for you to know who robbed you so you can deal with them in your own way.
  10. i just tried ie and firefox and same results. originally on chrome.
  11. ugh.. kinda frustrating to tell a first time customer with the usual yesterday deadline that you are not sure if you can produce what they want because your supplier's site is down. maybe uscutter should consider a printed catalog.

    Tom's Peanuts Restoration Decals?

    outside of regular vinyl, etching and shirt orders, another restoration job came in this week. 2 license plates. I've never done a plate before so the fun begins! Paint is blasted off one so far, the other is a little tougher and soaking in paint remover at the moment. We have a hobby (trains/model cars) shop in the same block so I was able to find the correct colors in enamels. I'll post pics when complete.
  17. Looking for someone that has the rights or ? / and can supply these (or willing to share the images) Thanks.

    Wet application and Trailer screws?

    some customers want the screws removed prior to installation, others do not. for those that do not, I lay the vinyl as normal leaving the excess bubble over the screw/rivet. after the vinyl is on and applied as normal, I then go back with a heat gun and pin and make a small hole in the center of the screw/rivet and work the excess air out.

    Correct Vinyl Choice?

    I have a client (upscale wine shop with lots of window frontage) that wants windows you can see out, yet not in as easily. I'm thinking a printed perf is the way to go but thought I would ask if anyone has used other options?

    Correct Vinyl Choice?

    Yes, he considered the dark tint but looking for something with a little more personality.
