Came out good. Just what I was looking for. Gonna cut it tonite. Thanks again.

Thanks alot

Can anyone help me with this font, please?

Well, the vinyl held up well thru the summer. No lifting or fading. At this point I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how I can buff the vinyl. I don't know what method or material I should use to buff the calendered vinyl. I never clearcoated it because I just wanted to see how it would hold up on it's own. The next bike I do will be clearcoated. Thanks in advance!

Real nice!

3 months on the bike in summer heat and no lifting or peeling around the edges. No fading or bubbling either.

I'm thinking about getting a smart phone or tablet. No chance I could do SignBlazer on either is there? Madhatter, could you tell me more about sketchpad?

Looks like I'll be going back into the telecommunications field. Got a job offer from AT&T the other day. Orientation is Fri 21st.

3M emailed me asking what type of printer I had and what applications I was doing, size of machine, etc., etc. I emailed back that I have a cutter not a printer, so we'll see what they send me. But the rep in L.A. says samples are coming....

As a former telecommunications technician, I need to advise you to BE CAREFUL OF UNDERGROUND UTILITIES when driving anything into the ground! So many cable, telephone, even water power and sewer lines get jacked up every year when someone does something so very simple like this. It just sucks when you have a big uh-oh moment when you were just tryna put something in the ground and if you would've just done it 6 inches over you woulda been fine. I've been on both sides of the equation. No fun being the guy who has to repair the damage but it's even worse when you're the one getting the bill for my work. No one wants to call in for a full on utilities locate when doing something this simple, or when putting in sprinklers or a grounding rod, cause you end up with multi colored paint marks everwhere that never go away. My advise, just before you run your implement in the turf is this...Look left, then right, north, south, east and west and look for those little green or concrete lids, sprinkler heads, conduit entering the ground at the base of a utility pole, water meter. Anything within 100 feet could possibly be crossing your path. Rant over. Thanks for your time.

What about ctrl+print screen, then insert into MS paint or similar program, crop, then save as jpeg?

Ta-Da Hardened(actually just stiff, with very little give) vinyl.... Now I just gotta find 100 uses for it.....

OK I've started experimenting with epoxy. Pretty cool stuff. I saw on youtube some colored epoxy being applied to chrome vinyl cutouts and now I'm wondering what is used to color the epoxy. Does nyone know?

By this, do you mean hand trace, then import, then vector? I've had some success with importing and converting to vector, then cutting after doing some node editing. Does a hand trace import and convert with better results than a picture image?

Count me in.
