The TIG Brush was able to be used in their shop so no need to outsource any of the fabrication or design process. It cleaned and passivated the welds, and the printing (marking) fluid was the ideal solution to create the wheat design finish on the base of the signs.
They also discovered that by using the engraving (etching) fluid with the branding head they were able to erase grinder marks. In effect, this process dulled the shiny spots left by the grinder so that these areas more closely resembled the original mill finish of the stainless steel.
According to Scott Riley, VP of Biltrite Sign, using stainless steel was a new process for them. In the past they have steered away from using stainless steel for signage but now with the TIG Brush, they have more confidence to take on further stainless steel projects.
