So been busy finding ways of mass producing these 7" single's and tried various methods, originally wooden shuttering though this was abit too hit or miss with regards to getting the casts out of the shuttering in one piece so moved onto vac- forming which produced a decent enough mould though the edges tended to flair outwards which was frustrating. Anyway finally settled on a rubber mould which i cast up yesterday and test drove today which worked spectacularly! though the mould seems to be at a bit of an angle therefore creating slightly thicker plaster towards one side which while not life threatening is a little annoying considering the cost and effort involved in producing the mould. Anyway this can be resolved by sanding the back down slightly so all is not lost! this has meant the production of these discs is now considerably faster than i started at and means they will all be exactly the same, even down to the texture of the wood i originally used to cast the first discs on! really happy about this as its an integral feature of the pieces. Looking forward to printing these up. next to get to work on the sleeves......
Oh and blogger keeps messing up so havent been able to log on in a while for reasons unknown.
