hand beading is the way to go for symbols imo

for anything else we ussually use machines

anyone ever use graco painters,, lol ive never liked their beading system!

you get the odd beads that get stuck in the flap and it doesnt close completely

you let it sit for 5mins and you got a little pile on the ground lol

sprayign thermo isnt as good, durability.. as for time and effort though.. awesome! :P

very awesome if your on piece work :P

what a piece of shit. And yes, thats termo plastic, not paint.. and toronto line painting is crazier! Less forgiving :)

I'm also a road painter and I bead by hand. Except for the straight lines. The beads are sprayd automatically for those.

We use stencils and a spray wand in my city. Much easier.

That's not paint, it's thermoplastic. Nasty stuff. Crazy hot. Very hard work. I used to bead by hand all the time on small stuff like that, and I worked for a multi million dollar company. It's easier that way. You don't have to push that heavy ass cart the extra foot or so to get beads at the end of the line. Plus, around a tight curve the beads wouldn't cover the line, they'd be off to the side.

I'd take my 10 year old new mark/ quali-tech over that bucket any day!
