I use Avery Easy Removeable Opaque. It comes in white, black and a dark blue. I used it when I worked at the Six Flag park up here for their menu signs.

Thanks, Alicia. Don't know if you'll check back in on this thread, but I was wondering how the Six Flags experience was (as a place to work)? I worked for Walt Disney World for eight years and really enjoyed it (except for the meager wages), although they did pay slightly more than other employers in the same biz.

Well, back in 96, when my Husband and I moved to Washington, I took the job as the signpainter at an amusement park. I took the job because I had no clientiel built up in the area. Then in 99'the park was bought by Six Flags. The pay was so so, $18.50 an hour. But they had good benefits. It was quite a bit working there, since I ran the signshop by myself. During this time I slowy built up a clientiel followng (truckers). It seemed for a while I was working eight days a week. So I had to make a choice. I choose to be self-employed, like I as back in California. Althugh, last 2004, I repainted all 36 of the Horses they had on their 1906 Parker Carousel. They bought them to my house 4 at a time. I still keep in touch with the park. I did learned a few things about doing faux or little sign tricks from the two sign designers, Ben and Les. I kinda felt bad for those two guys, Six Flags seemed to work them hard. The other nice thing about working at an amusement signshop, was that you didn't have to deal with a customer's budget. You just did whatever you wanted. It was a pretty good six year experience, but it still was a lot of work.
