Let's talk about DIY pressing

Try to melt your pellets before pressing them. Use an oven or heat gun.
Careful with the used stampers as the music is copyrighted. I doubt they would care if you don't sell any of them

Has anyone used a teeshirt press or tortilla press similar to the one pictured in Shahars post to make blanks from HDPE or PET?

Hi there,

Hopefully we gonna purchase a t560 from souri, if everything will go OK.
We want to make short run production by cutting,
now I can see that I can also do some short run pressing,

If we'll have the t560 then we can make lacquer master, there is a factory near that do some metal covering to stuff, and maybe he could make the silver+nickel cover. Im checking it out.
if I understood corectly, then after the metal covering i have a stamper, and i can press with him.

i have a sort of heating press, that make prints on shirts, it has a temp control and can reach 399 C,
do you think i can modify it to press me some records? (the pic is not exectly what I have, but close enough,)

I saw your pics of the records you created, the look is not quite nice. this is what we can achive with this kind of press? or more close to a normal record.

most of my work will be on 12", just for knowledge.

Thanks,

Shahar.
