Some things to help me get started

[devnsmom 0]

Hey everyone! My cutter will be thursday and I am curious on a supply list of things I need to get started. I already have an order for 100 political signs on coroplast, and I worked previously at a sports store that made signs but I wasn't clued in to all the details. Can ya'll help me out?

Squeegee, Exacto Knife, vinyl, application tape, ruler, painters tape (for hinging applications), cutting surface, spray bottles (if you want to do wet installs), alcohol for cleaning... that's just the stuff I've come across in my first week.

For those signs you should put a "Big Squeegee" on the short list of items to get. Search for squeegee on the forums here and you will see lots of topics about them. or just google it.

and to elaborate a little more on theishkid, you need a self-healing cutting surface. google dahle mat, dickblick has them at affordable prices. I started out with a sheet of plexiglass and it was mush within a week.
