joshlindt 2 Posted January 2, 2009 was wondering if anyone ever considered making a decal installation kit to provide/sell to customers? i was thinking of doing it. if i do i this is what i plan on putting in it, two 1' long pieces of self adhesive ruler, 2or4' of 3/4" wide masking tape, single edge razor blade and a hard plastic card to be used as a squegee (with my logo on it of course) any suggestions on any thing i should change/add Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted January 3, 2009 I think NonaBelle ( Sheila I thought I would give Jenny a break ) had a thread going thinking of something similiar . focused more on the advertising ) . I've thought about hard plastic combs with advertisement on to be given away as a squeezee . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted January 3, 2009 thank u rodger! wow! u put a big smile on my face this morning . lol i needed that one. hey i never heard that one before. nice one thanks again for making me smile. ;D YW Sheila , You must be a youngin ... Old guys like John & I have heard it a million times . Tommy Roe had a bunch of catchy tunes . I'll have to get a picture of me to post in the picture thread ( if I can find camera that won't break ) . It surprised me when I seen John's picture , He looks like a young wipper snapper . I thought he would look old school with the video's he has posted etc . Do you have a picture in that thread I didn't have vinyl or a sqeezee when my cutter arived , I used a comb & some vinyl a friend gave me . Hard plastic combs work good & might be used again thus usefull for advertising . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cohesion 0 Posted January 11, 2009 I found this site that has one of their squeegees for 50cents. not sure if they have any bulk discounts or not. http://www.beacongraphics.com/supplies/tools/squeegee.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob28x 0 Posted January 12, 2009 wow $.30 each, that's a bargain for hand outs! Will have to stop by the local HF tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted January 12, 2009 I was at HF this afternoon . I looked at the Bondo ( body putty ) putty spreaders . The price on them was $8.99 . In order to get the online catalog price $5.99 , you need to copy the ad & the retail store will honor the price .The quality of the HF spreaders/squeezees doesn't look good if used for vinyl . I'm sure they would work as I have used about everything including my thunb-nail . I think the extra price of regular sqeezees from Fellers etc are well worth the cost ( additional 20 cents on every " gift " ) IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
