Thank you everyone that responded on the tooling die marks post issue. We tried everything you suggested: heat, chemical etching, coating, buffing, sandblastic and plastic overlays. In the end, a combination of resetting our CNC machining tool paths, finer grit sandpaper and a mechanical buffing machine did the trick. Since it was a combination of answers, I’ve sent out some people care packages for their help and definitely owe Diane some goodies for her contributions as well.
Thank you everyone for your kindness. We couldn’t have solved this without you. Expect to see some exciting new mold designs in the next month …
We were out of town last week, but I was so excited to see my package when we came home last night! I love the new molds, and I can't wait to try them out!
Thanks for the gift, and I'm happy to hear that you got so many great responses. Looking forward to seeing all the great molds yet to come!
Diane, drop me an line with your addy and I'll get a care package in the mail to you.
And, I cannot wait to release these molds. We are *so* close. =)
Oh yeah! Doing a little dance for you! Looking forward to seeing what you create with your new baby.
Love those molds I can't wait to see them, I am always on the lookout for something different, unique and they sure fit the bill.
*cheers*
Wish I had had something to contribute and thrilled you found a solution!
I like this mold and can't wait to try it! The edges are so fun.
So looking forward to your new designs!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! I am so excited!
oh ya!!!! can't wait to see what molds you are making 🙂
