Magnetic Sign Care & Cleaning Tips

Custom Vehicle Magnets
Any size, Any shape

Magnetic vehicle signs are a successful way to give your business increased exposure. When properly cleaned and cared for magnetic car signs can last up to three years. To get the most life out of your custom car magnets follow this advice for applying, positioning, removing, cleaning and storing your magnets. 

Applying:

• Always clean the car magnet and the surface you are going to apply it to with mild detergent and water.
• A clean vehicle will prevent your magnet from slipping off your vehicle at high speeds.
• Wipe car (and magnet) dry before applying.
• Custom car magnets can become stiff in cold conditions and may not properly grip your vehicle panels. Use caution when using your magnets in these conditions.

Positioning:

• Attach your magnet to a smooth metal surface that is flat as possible
• Affix one corner of the sign first, then allow the magnetic pull to attach the rest.
• Be sure the entire sign is flat against the surface with no air pockets.
• If you position your magnetic sign incorrectly, remove it and reattach. Do not pull the magnet across the surface as it could stretch and damage the sign.
• Do not attach your auto magnets over a ridge, trim or rust spot that would prevent the sign from laying flat.
• Make sure your car magnet signs are firmly affixed to the vehicle before driving.

Removing & Cleaning:

• When removing your magnetic car sign, be careful not to bend or crease the corners of your sign.
• Remove your car magnets periodically to check that they are still securely fastened and to clean if necessary.
• Avoid applying your auto magnets to horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight, such as car hoods.
• You can clean the surface of your custom magnet with a mild detergent and water. Window cleaning products can help with small smudges or stains.
• Make sure to completely dry your magnet after cleaning.

Storing:

• Keep your vehicle magnets in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Store your custom car magnets by stacking them on a flat surface.
• Do not stack vehicle signs with the magnetic sides touching each other.
• Do not store heavy objects on top of or against your magnet signs.
• Do not store in extreme heat or cold.

Magnetic signs are durable and sturdy, but following these simple steps for care and maintenance will make sure the signs continue promoting your business even longer.

Save a heart

CPR Training

Valentine's Day brings to mind the loves in our lives...but do you think about their heart too? If your valentine dropped to the floor in front of you, how would you respond? Today I spent the day teaching CPR to a group of ladies running several local girl scout troops. These ladies passed their First Aid, CPR (adult, children & infant) and AED certification today! I am confident they could assist anyone in their path now, providing a level of care that may save a victims life. 

The American Heart Association has an abundance of information on their site that is worth the read, including this video demonstrating hands only CPR. Reach out to your community fire department or ambulance corps (or me) and get certified in CPR. You never know who's Valentine you may save!

Happy Valentine's Day

Custom Wine Glasses

Only a few more hours until the day we tell our Valentine's how much we love them! I'd like to think my Valentine's know how much I love and appreciate them every day, but tomorrow I will reiterate in an extra special way! I would post the gift my husband is receiving, but he is nosy and would read this post! 

Custom Photo Frame  - You can
also add the names in the upper left
& lower right corners

This week at Seaglass we offered free giveaways on our facebook page (if you guess the correct number of conversations hearts in the goody bag) which led us to the great SGL debate of the day...what flavor are the green conversation hearts? I said apple, Michele voted mint, Ashley said they were gross no matter what they tasted like and Danielle voted for cotton candy. Danielle also believes they rotate the flavors with the colors so that not every green is the same flavor (I don't believe this!). 

We also played with our laser engraver and created custom wooden photo frames, wine glasses and water bottles (for all those valentine's under 21!). A fun week overall! We wish all of you and your loved ones a Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow!

Weekend Plans

Ever have one of those weekends where you booked numerous events and then in the blink of an eye your plans disappear? That is this weekend! Chowderfest in Saratoga was to be our first stop... We attended the event 2 years ago and our favorite chowder was the Cheeseburger chowder. At this point, I have no idea who made it but I do recall it being on the corner of one of the side streets off of Broadway (I know, this really is of no help as there are so many side streets). More importantly than the location, the cheeseburger chowder, topped with cheese & a pickle, was delicious! Now that I am salivating, I must say today's plans do not involve Cheeseburger Chowder.

My wonderful husband (and he is wonderful) pulled his back on Thursday and thanks to the staff in the ER at Saratoga Hospital & Dr. Rugani at Rugani Family Chiropractic, he is on the mend. But we are not going anywhere this weekend. So now, my weekend full of plans (Chowderfest, Superbowl parties & visiting family) will be spent working on our 2 most recent websites shengear.com and 518strong.com. While my husband was sleeping in, I was on the 518strong website looking to add all the upcoming events...I have them typed in but cannot figure out how to get them to go live! Have you ever used Joomla? I'd love some tips!

If you make it to Chowderfest this weekend, who has the Cheeseburger Chowder?! Either way, enjoy your weekend and wish me luck with the website updates!
