Some notes I'd like to add about this product.
Some may have used this product in the past and some may have never had a chance. This product disappeared from suppliers right after 9/11 from what I understand there were Customs issues that made it too costly to bring in.
IF you remember this product from long ago, you will be glad it's back (just like the reaction I've gotten to all who have purchased from me).
IF you have never used it, your fabricators will love you for using it, it's MUCH MUCH easier to work with and notch, you won't get those splits you sometimes get on corners.
My other understanding is that this product was mainly distributed on the west coast, so not many on the east coast have ever tried it. My advice is try it, believe me YOU will LOVE it!
Before 9/11 I used PLASCO and the Silvatrim Trimcaps. I still have signs up 16+ years and this trim cap is still up, it's very durable.
PLASCO Trim for Polycarbonate Channel Letter Faces
Plasco is an excellent channel letter trim cap to be used to fabricated polycarbonate / Lexan channel letter faces. We also stock Channel Bond, the 1 part system which makes it easy for bonding Plasco Trim to Polycarbonate. You can also find Channel Bond here
PLASCO VS JEWELITE
In another thread I was asking why anyone east of Colorado "WHY" they mainly buy 1" Jewlite and not 3/4" Jewelite for 24" Channel Letters and smaller.
The reason seems to be is that when you use 1" Jewelite with a standard 3/16" channel letter face the 1" Jewelite gives you more clearance because the arrow extrusion protrudes more than 1/4" from the face giving you less mechanical fastening room. Make sense but 1" is very tough to notch, bend and get in small letter centers too because of that arrow extrusion.
I was always use to Plasco Trim Cap in my years of the sign industry, NOT Jewelite because on the West Coast Plasco was stocked more than Jewelite before 9/11. So after this "clearance" point was brought up I did some quick measuring because I had a east coast client buy Plasco 1" to match up with his regular use of 1" Jewelite. Then shortly after receiving his order with 3/4" samples he soon after starting ordering 3/4". I asked him why the change in smaller trim. He said the change was because the 3/4" Plasco trim gave him the same fastening clearance that he got buying 1" Jewelite.
I've attached some images to show you that you can use 3/4" Plasco Trim Cap that will give you the same clearance as 1" Jewelite IF clearance is important to you.
Plasco vs. Jewelite - Here we display the channel letter baseline along with the clearance you get using 3/4" & 1" Plasco / Jewelite Trim Caps
1" Jewelite clearance
1" Plasco - More mechanical clearance than 1" Jewelite
3/4" Plasco - Just about the same mechanical clearance as using 1" Jewelite
3/4" Jewelite - Less mechanical clearance than 3/4" Plasco
1" Jewelite - Arrow extrusion protrusion more than 1/4" past the channel letter face.

Just a quick announcement which I'll talk more about later in individual posts but here it is, and already in our online shopping cart.
Tecnolux / Ablon Siliflex (Silicone) Integral Sleeve 14AWG GTO
Tecnolux now Ablon silicone GTO was the first silicone GTO that I ever used. I have used other silicone GTO cables but I have to say, there is a difference, I love the Tecnolux / Ablon GTO much better. You can tell the difference in the quality of the silicone sleeving. That's probably because this is Italian silicone.....or made in Italy, NOT China!

Does anyone know of a source for textured 1/4" thick aluminum sheets? i got an RFQ for a sign for a state park and they are looking for something that looks like rough cast iron. Yes I could always just take a hammer/chains and "age" it, but if i can get it already textured that would save a lot of time in fab. Thanks! Rocco -
I just got a vendor packet from these folks but they aren't in the review list. Does anyone have anything to say about them? Thanks Rocco

I think it's a combination of other shops telling them they don't have time to the PM's thinking the quote is too high. I'd throw the high number at them and see if they bite

I just got another of those dreaded "need a quote on a large project by EOD tomorrow" emails. It's a full rest stop worth of signs to be installed (several weeks work) on the turnpike and a job that I'd love to get. The customer sent it after hours yesterday and wants a price back by EOD tomorrow. Even if I had nothing else going on, I'd want at least 2-3 days to give an accurate quote. For example, I'm sure to have questions that would need to be answered about the drawings they sent. OK, enough of a rant. My real question is, why do these large companies wait until the last possible moment to send out an RFQ for a large project? I've always thought that it's because they got pricing they didn't like from their normal vendor(s) and are hoping to get a last minute cheap price. I'm not accusing anyone of trying to catch someone unprepared, but they had to know this quote date was coming up. Yes I could just throw a high number at this job but that never works out. Thoughts? Thanks!
