    Great Job man. I retired after doing this from my own shop for nearly 20 years. I called this stroke "speed brush" but it had several different names. There is nothing like a hand lettered sign, this vinyl lacks any emotion or personality and signs just look either dead or "cookie cutter" lettered. Long live the original hand strokers.
