Okay, I got that message - andyes, I have another number for you --------- I just have to look it up. Got it ----ever hear of the Wheeler Diffusion pump, and all the experiement we did with different types of d-pumps??? Well, if not, he's the guy. Master glassblower - his dpump was an experiement to duplicate a metal d-pump - that worked as well as the real thing. Scientific glassblower at ASU for his life, and now resides, and works up in Wisconsin. Nothing in glass he can't fix ------ or clean. Mobile number is 480-220-1946. Any problem getting hold of him - message me.

thanks for the info gary

i also had a message sent to me in reguards to a former daco employee...at the moment i lost his number, so this post might not be that helpful..except the meaning behind it.

Mike, left without a job, and instead of jumping on the "woe is me" band wagon...he pulled himself up by the boot straps, and started to try and fill the void that daco has left behind. Several times during the conversation he made mention almost embarrassed that he has started his new endeavor at home. Although the selection at the moment might not be as large as Daco once offered, but its a start.

I myself have started several successful home based businesses..my current company was started in my pole barn, ( now i have a piece of shit lil building..but atleast its mine) i will post more info when i get his number again

      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!
