  • First days sales of lanyards fairly good. Quite happy with the performance. #
  • Have created a master work list to help casting in type/colour batches rather than by orders. Should help catch up with production. #
  • Days castings complete.
    Chocolate; Anth Canine Palms, Small Fingerpads, med rubber claws, foot digits, heel-pads. #
  • Days castings complete.
    Green; Ani Canine Palms, Large Finger Pads.
    Red; Large Cat Nose.
    Colour-merge test piece. #
  • Days castings: All appear ideal. 3-stage degass on all ok. Colour mixing ok. De-mould in 16-hours. Hang for 2 days to fully cure if correct. #
  • Daily Digest on website via Twitter Tools has broken. Fix involves manually editing the database and reinstalling. #

  • Have switched to the Twitter Digest plugin instead. Seems to be functioning. Does not X-post from WP to Twitter though. Will do that manual. 12:25:44
  • Have obtained the master graphics for the UKFur shirts. Option to create variations on the design now open. 12:27:30

The new work order sheet is helping hugely. I’ve got them listed by resin type, rather than by order. I start at the top, then look at the list to see what moulds are still free that there’s an entry for, then do that.
Makes for some odd bed-fellows, but with the FAR shorter degassing times the bench-top de-gasser’s giving me, it’s easy to manage interleaving the different mixes.

Mondays castings:

Tuesdays castings:

Yes that’s an anvil. I thought it was overkill last time, but since they last couple haven’t bonded to the velcro right without it, it’s in play again.

At this rate, all orders should be complete and shipped at the latest, Monday. Phew.

Please keep an eye on the Twitter feed for up-to-the-minute updates if you’re concerned about your order.
