I thought the videos were quite good for home made.
You don't sound like I had imagined, Roger... Hahahahahahahahaha!
Thanks for the info. Those would be good training videos for shops to use. Thank you again!

Now I know a lot more about vinyl application and removal than I did before. I don't do it often but its nice to know more when I do.
Thanks Roger!

If having two stints put in wasn't enough incentive to quit smoking, what is? Are you going to wait until you need some bypasses? Have a major coronary? It's easy to quit when after you stroke out and are drooling on yourself and pooping and peeing your pants or even worse, if you're dead.
I quit smoking. October 5th, 2005 at 9:35 AM. Smokin' Joe's All Natural Ultra Light 100's. Yeah, it's etched into my memory. Forever.
I quit smoking, Roger... so can you!
Anyways, thanks for the videos. I am going to show them at work today. They will be helpful to the installers. Great products, great videos, great service.... what more could we ask for?
Have a great one!

Thanks Robert! I hope they come in handy for you and your biz. !
Bruce: I do know of what you speak, been smokin since 1963, I think I chose the absolute worst time to quit, I will choose a less stressfull time in the spring to tackle this situation (have been smokin the light Shermens with no chemicals for 8 years now)only 1/2 pak a day now.
I have clear lungs and great liver(thats amazing with the alcohol consumption over the years) and will get off these things this year !
Thanks, Roger

Copy and paste that into your browser. I don't know how computer savy you are, so here is how to do that.
Highlight that with your mouse, right click the highlighted text and select "copy", then highlight the address in the address bar, right click the highlighted address and select "paste" and hit enter.

Damn...Something for free and I can't get it!!!
Mexican dial-up sucks.

Thanks Roger..yer products are great.

Roger, it's good to see your post (and face) here again.
Of any sign-related product, your products are used most frequently in my small shop. Even the "little things" like magnetics and coroplast go much quicker for one person with your tac.
Oh, and I still use the trick you gave about removing vinyl easier - use a halogen work light (the ones on stands). Those babies heat up a larger area quicker than a heat gun ever could.
Thanks for all your helpful posts and good-natured attitude. It's been missed!

Hey Roger... Installing in the snow es all to common up here in Alberta. My most interesting one was several years back. It was about -15C. I was parked on a railroad siding, straddling the tracks in our bucket truck up 35' in the air. I was installing a vinyl address up on painted concrete block. I had to heat the concrete with a torch as a heat gun just wasn't enough. Then while the surface was still warm enough to hold tape, I lined up the graphic (15" letters) and squeegeed down the image. Then I had to carefully heat the legend up with the torch so I could carefully peal back the transfer tape. More than once I lit the corner of the tape on fire and had to react quickly. Then I went back with the torch and heated the vinyl and carefully ( this is the operative word here ) and with a rivit brush worked the vinyl into the concrete surface. Now here's where it really got exciting...I had rigged up a holder for the torch outside of the bucket for safety reasons. I was finished the job now, so I unconciously just stuck the torch into the pocket inside the bucket. So this would have been the site from down below... Man up 35' in the air in the bitter cold, straddling a rail road track in a bucket truck snuffing out a fire while securely strapped in with a safety lanyard...sheesh, if WCB saw that, I'd been locked up. It was to darn cold for those boys to be out and around anyway. :> Geez, I hope Laurie doesn't read this, cause then I'll really be in trouble. Honest, Laurie I was wearing my safety gear. I was securely strapped into the bucket... oops nix that note. Actually it was one of those dang jobs that just had to be done by the deadline, or there would have been any Christmas for us or our staff... are you buying this Laurie...I know your going to read this sooner or later... Doe So, back to the topic... I doubt even Rapid Tac II would have worked here, and it certainly wouldn't have been nearly as exciting, but I did enjoy your videos and this is is one of my favourite RT products... I just started using it and it works great. Rapid Clear

Roger,those were great thanks. I'm new at the vinyl end of the sign buiss.so these were helpfull videos . I didnt think that,even with app fluid I could be so loose about applying. Thanks again! does Fellers have rapid tac II?
Good luck on the smoking thing, and congrats on the baby! Boy or girl? Will be an interesting venture for you, especially if your others are grown. Take care and enjoy!

So Sooo confusing David, stop that I say, stop that right now :>) Yes my (as you can see) kids are grown, Jeff is 32, his sister is 38, whats really difficult for some folks is that both are older then their step mother ! Everyone gets along wonderfully(includeing Jeffs' mother)for which I am very happy.
Duncan, please, try R.T.II next time, you'll be much safer.
Thanks Rick, Dana, Raymond, Duncan, Bruce, David !
We at Rapid Tac are very pleased that you all may gain from these videos.

Donna, we do a lot of Architectural signage involving acrylic. Works great in cleaning up the finished sign ready for shipping or after install. You'll never use Windex again after using this stuff. Use a nice soft cloth and polish till dry. Works on spectacles too. I don't know if it has the "healing power" of Windex (Greek Wedding flick)though.... LOL. Rapid Clear.... "Clears up infection"... well maybe not... Roger? Edited to say, "Hey Roger I got started using it because of a sample I brought back from the Dixie Meet". Yes, your kind donation of product is appreciated and worth your while, Thanks."

We have a pair of house cleaners come in once a month, they saw me use Rapid Clear on the casual dinning table, so now they buy it and Rapid Prep to use in house cleaning, its amazing what they have found about cleaning and polishing with them.
Ha ha ha ha ha saves me some money !

I will have to investigate RT II a little further. I should probably have it in my shop as well.
Is it that new that no distributor has had time to notify me of its existance?
Particularly here in Saskatchewan, Canada. Where we just went thru several days(including wind chill) of -44 degree Celcius weather. FYI, Farenheit & Celcius are the same at -40. Celcius room temp is 20 degrees.
