    Hi all,
    Had a bit of a busy one today….2 vans to do in different locations.
    Started cutting vinyl around 9 this morning and finished the “sandwich van” at 5.30.
    The transit will also be in a demo I’m working on about speedfitting…..the transit was started fitting at 1pm and I was back in the van and way at 2.15…..one hour and fifteen minutes 😛
    More to come later…
    Joe

    Nice one Joe or should that be two!

    Do you cut the scrap bits by hand on the fly!

    I’ll have to start using my pile of scraps!

    hi
    if you were on your own then it was very quick well done anyway
    its a toss up between vinyl waistage and speed if i am using normal vinyl then dont worry to much and use bigger weeding boxes to aid fitting
    i like the effect on MPI storing that one for a nother day

    JILL!
    No more would I drink guinness in the UK than would I have done when I was in McGurks in St. Louis in May last.
    But ….everytime I go home it’s the first thing I do…even Dublin airport Guinness is like nectar 😆 😆
    I think the attraction of budweiser is the smooth drinkability followed by the crisp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNAP out of it Joe……sorry ….too many bud commercials.
    ZZZZZZZZZZZ

    Johnny…
    Always cut these type of things by hand if it’s only a little bit of logo work etc.
    Just for fun I checked on vinylmaster to see how much white vinyl i would have used if I’d have cut on the plotter – just under a meter.
    The scrap piece I used was a piece of 610mm vinyl about 50mm wide!
    Bargain.
    Cheers

    Yes, pride in artistic achievement is a wonderful thing, but speed is the key to making money in this game.

    Get them in – bish bosh – get them out – here’s your bill – where’s the next one?
