Are they no longer sponsors of the site? I see their logo is gone from the web page. Bummer, I spend a lot of money with them......:devil-smiley-033:

Sign blanks from Coast? (if that's what you're talking about) their prices were ridiculous. I get mine from Grimco, I think they have offices nationwide (www.grimco.com), look up the site, give a local office a call, and set up a business account (mailing) with em. Wensco was another one, but they had better prices on huge sheets rather than the smaller ones (4x8foot was 50 bucks for .040).
I like David, he's given me a wealth of info, and great service.
But....
For some times, you're better off going to Dixie. Dave at Coast was flirting with the idea of free shipping, but only instituted it for certain items. Dixie is free for over 45 bucks.

to bad my local sign shops dont know what the heck sign blanks are. i think they aren't as hardcore into signs as i thought.

Coast has a great selection of stuff, but you get to pay for that big lounge as consumers, even if you never get to enjoy the actual lounge itself. I like the people at Dixie, they have been helpful, just as the Coast people have, but their shipping is great when you spend the larger amounts, but to be honest, most of my stuff ends up being smaller stuff, then the shipping gets me. For that part, Coast does better for me if for no other reason than they are only about 20 minutes away from my house. I try to encourage all my students to do a lot of looking and shopping, sometimes you find little gems at the out of the way places.

Speaking of out of the way places, I found this Merriartist.com site that has some good prices on Iwata stuff.
I haven't ordered from them at all yet, so I can't really vouch for them, but they might be worth a try.
