i have a wholesale neon shop on the tenn. ky. state line. i've been here about 3-years and have 20 years exp. bending neon. i have been haveing trouble staying busy, maybe bad location or just because not many shops know i'm here. i've been dealing with the same shops as long as i've open, but could use more work. i give free delivery in a 100 mile raduis for 200.00 or more order. still can't get enough work. don't understand why i'm so slow. would consider moving but don,t know where.are things that slow.

I'll keep you in mind. I'm right outside Lexinton, KY. Business was slower during the Summer but has really picked up the past couple months. Send me some pricing info.

If I were you I'd drop about $60 for a thousand double sided post card flyers and map out all the sign companies and drop by letting them know who you are and where you are. 100 miles, that's a big coverage area to hit up when your not bending. I bet there are a lot of shops looking for someone like you, it's just that they don't know your around. Beside sign shops, also try lighting companies.

Good Luck!

I work in a wholesale neon shop in Marietta, Ga. and we are always looking for benders. We have stayed slammed with more work than we can do for the majority of the last two years. Right now we are looking to add two new tables and an extra pumping station as well. I don't know if things have picked up at all for you but if you are in need still and don't mind a move then you should check into our company. you can check us out online at http://www.magnumneon.com

We are looking for someone who can do very tight bends on 2-3mm type high CRI tubes. TUbe length would have to be 1.8meter long.

Call me if you want to discuss this 702-430-8917

Volumes would be very very high.

I know what it's like to be ready to work but not have it. I'm up in the Louisville area and I'm always looking for a good bender. Send me your details and maybe I can pass along some of the jobs I run across. Good Luck.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
