anybody knows, how this is made?

please take a look:



looks like a splatter effect....

I’ve made some similar ones... but none exactly like that. My guess is that it was an opaque blue puck, rolled in clear vinyl pellets, pressed once, opened, sprinkled with dark blue pellets, and pressed again. As far I know, that is the only way to get the roundish dots, because otherwise they spread outwards and elongate with the puck.

mmmh, pressing a record 2 times? is that possible?

[piaptk]

Sure... on a fully manual press... Palomino do it all the time. You have to watch for no fill, but if you preheat the pellets, it can be done.

[piaptk]

Thats how they did this one for me.

my customer says:
"this is not what I expected, I want it exactly like this, I can not sell this!"

[piaptk]

Wait... you pressed that record and the customer doesn’t like it??? People pay Wax Mage good money as an upgrade for that kind of thing.
