  6. I have been blunt in the past about the trimless letters and some of the issues I see with them so I figured I ought to be quick about giving praise where its due as well.

Lately we had an issue with a sensor at a very bad time with a deadlines looming and after making a few calls we had several techs from Adams calling us to make sure we were taken care of. They shipped us a part very quickly and we were up an running in no time at all - making precision letters once again. Thanks Adams!

  10. Thanks James. I will shoot you an email as well with additional questions. Looking forward to nailing this down. The machine bends with enough precision to fit an acrylic face well but the adhesive has been eluding us.
  11. Alright so I need to get to the bottom of this for outdoor use. We have an Adams SCB and have been asking about the trimless letters but keep getting the answer that they are for indoor use and smaller letters. The weak point would be the adhesive used to mount the acrylic face in. The adhesive needs to be clear of course but any clear option is not designed for structural use. We have built some samples and put them through testing with not so great success. Is this a serious viable product for outdoor use that has been tested or just a sales pitch? Again I am a customer and love the machine, we crank out a lot of letters with precision and speed but the whole trimless thing? not so much. I would love a solution that works if there is one.

  13. This may not sound encouraging but I mean it to be - this is on you if you are in charge. Sounds like it is time to step back and work on your business instead of letting it grow out of control. Look at your processes and kill what is not working and try something new. Establish new process and standards and stick to them for at least 90 days and then reevaluate. Create a new business and marketing plan and go after markets you want with the clients you want and fire the rest. Create a new niche or develop a new product or style. Been there. Sold my last sign shop ten years ago for the same reason and then later realized all the mistakes I had made. Keep fine tuning and run your business, dont let it run you into the ground.
  14. Are these guys still around? Looks like their site is gone and probably has been for some time. Looking for options on metal retainers for larger clouds and channel lettering. Any other sources?
