how to get stamp/seal

[Poster formally known as dannybobber]

OK... I'll try once more... will you please educate yourself on what the word "seal" means in the context of the Professional Engineer? Once you do, and if you can be civil (didn't your mother ever teach you that name-calling was rude?), I'd be happy to continue talking about engineerseals.
Have a great day!

what? there is only one seal that you use...the embossing type and it comes in either plastic (like the one from engineerseals) or metal (far superior). you were the one that brought up self inking stamps...what does that have to do with engineering???

get off your high horse and go post somewhere else to get your post count up! apparently that is all that matters on this forum, and every other one in existence.

you would be on MY team there chachi.
you guys are typical of the forum crowd...always thinking that # of posts someone has is somehow a correlation as to their intelligence.

give me a break.

If you have such a problem with the "forum crowd" why stick around? You can disagree with IlPadrino without being unpleasant, which you clearly chose not to do. Onus is on you dude.

In many states stamps, self inking or otherwise, are considered to be a "seal". If you would like I can reference you some various state statutes that have the information. And you are being a dumb-a$$.

Interesting. You've had your license for a grand total of what? 3 months? And you're an expert in sealing documents?

who said i had it for 3 months only?

I read about it here -

But if you're saying you had a license before that, in which state? Because you seem like the other Florida geniuses (Tom McKeon and GT_ME) who seem to know everything.

Maybe you've been thinking your big thoughts for so much time you haven't had a chance to figure out that if you don't like forums and the "forum crowd" you don't have to post.

I just don't get who you are and what you're trying accomplish. Looking at your old posts, it seems you've only just recently gotten your FL PE license - maybe it was by comity and you've been sealing documents for decades...

But to get this back on track - do you now understand you can seal a document in many different ways? If you meant to say "embosser" instead of "seal", I accept your apology for misusing the term and perhaps we can move on. But then I've got to ask what you're talking about by "plastic". Do you mean the etched faces themselves? I've never bothered to analyze the material choice of the etching - if you've got some evidence that "metal is better than plastic", maybe you can be more specific.

What "plastic" does engineerseals use and what "metal" do you have that's superior? Do you have any anecdotal evidence? Because if what you're trying to communicate is a story along the lines "I used an embosser from enginerseals that while constructed of metal everywhere else, contained etched plastic for the embossing face. It only lasted about X years before I had to replace it so I don't recommend them."... then I'll respond, "Thank you very much for the information and perspective!"

But somehow I see you as a troll... I even thought maybe you were an alter ego of YKW.

Are you having a nice day? I sure hope so!

Is it wrong that I've been anxiously awaiting replies to this thread?

For the record, I spent a good 5 minutes trying to find a company that makes engineer seal embossers with metal faces. I can't find one. Not saying they don't exist, just can't find one.

I did find a company that had a lifetime guarantee on their plastic face embosser though. If it ever stops making a crisp seal, they send you a new one.

Sorry, I will now go back to patiently waiting for the train wreck to continue.

It has nothing to do with number of posts. If you bothered to take the time to read a few posts around here, you would already know that IlPadrino is an articulate, intelligent, detail-oriented kind of guy--an engineer's engineer--and he is highly respected around here.

What gets us worked up is when someone who isn't familiar with the dynamics of the board comes waltzing in with an arrogant, cocky, superior attitude and has no respect for his fellow engineers.

We are all intelligent people here and every member here deserves to be treated with respect. At least until they show they are not worthy of respect. And that takes quite a bit around here.

Well said! That is precisely what I tried multiple times to put into words... and never quite got it right.

So you're saying you've met VTEnviro eh?

LOL

I like turtles!!1! Wheeee!

Well whatever you have, I hope its not contagious.

 

[BluSkyy]

yeah, that puts your license receipt at Feb 19 of this year.

hey mods, the name change, loc change, avatar change is a little bit much.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I wouldn't put too much faith in a dude with his head in his ***.

I think the new avatar and changes are quite appropriate. I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

well deserved for someone who has no consideration for anyone else's opinion.

 

[DVINNY]

I didn't change them, but will change them back, only because his posts are around the 'open' part of the board. If this were all in the Shoot the Breeze, it'd be OK. somewhat.

 

[Desert Engineer]

In California, you are required to have your license expiration date on the seal. Since you license is renewed every two years. It might be a moot point, if a plastic embosser or steel embosser is better long term, if the plastic lasts at least two years.

With my stamp, since I mainly do digital seals on plans, I choose to not include the license expiration date on the stamp. If you I use it, I have to hand write the date in. I'm not sure if you can write the date over the embosser.

 

[DVINNY]

Well,

I don't know what that poster was talking about, but I have the self-inking rubber stamp from EngineerSeals, and I use it ALOT. I have to seal bid documents, plans, certified bid tabs, etc.

I've probably stamped over 100 times within the last 2 weeks even.

Mine is as good now as the day I bought it. It lasts just fine.

Great product.

I heard that age can cause problems.
