Cold weather and applying vinyl don’t mix
Posted on February 24th, 2010 No commentsWe just wanted to remind everyone that spring isn’t quite here yet and when you get your vinyl order that goes on a window or outdoor surface you really shouldn’t install it if that surface is below 60 degrees. Great examples of this are applying vinyl to a window in the northern part of the US. You will find that the adhesive never properly binds to the surface in these conditions. The result will be your lettering could come off prematurely.
It may be tempting to take a heat gun to glass during the winter time to remove lettering or heat up the surface for application. **CAUTION** DON’T, just like taking a warm glass and filling it with cold water will cause it to crack the same thing happens with a window! Odds are you will crack it and make for a bad day. Our advice, wait for a nice sunny day, even though the outside temperature may be low the surface temperature of the glass will likely be much higher than the ambient temperature, if this is the case you can probably apply your lettering without worry.

Where to get Parking Signs
Posted on January 29th, 2010 No commentsJust wanted to share our newest site we launched. It has been a long time in the works, but we are rolling all of our products into one convenient place to purchase. Our new site is signstoyou. We’ve launched the site with huge collection of parking signs. We really took the extra time to make this a great section with a lot of useful custom metal signs. We’ve added some aggressive pricing to make our signs one of the best deals on the web.
How we make parking signs
All of our signs are produced from .080 Aluminum and professionally designed. We print each sign on a fancy UV flat bed printer directly on the aluminum. If you ordered reflective aluminum we would do that same thing. Once the sign has been printed we place an optically clear protective laminate coating on it bringing the life of the sign over 7+ years. Some types of parking signs we have loaded up include No Parking Signs, Handicap Parking, and Reserved.
