Anyone still doing aftermarket hotstamp? (1 Viewer)

[Venturalvn]

Is there anyone out there still doing aftermarket hotstamping? Might be looking to give a go at either ASM or CPC hourglass blanks.

@monkeydog or @cgraham86?

@Old State wasn’t this what you were wondering about?

 

[RichMahogany]

IIRC, someone else alluded to offering hot stamping as well. Don’t want to tag them as I’m not sure if they want it known or not yet.

I'm not offering it anymore. I'm going to wrap up a set I'm doing for myself and then off to eBay with my stamper.

What’s a stamper go for?

@cgraham86 will be the last of a dying breed then. Your next option would be CPC (for customs, at least.)

I was trying to inquire about having some blank Hourglass chips stamped, and from CPCs site it doesn't look like they will stamp on HG. My idea is quickly dying...

I know who got Fabian's Kingsley..but don't think he will provide the HS-service.
If so, then he will post here

Be patient...

Send me a PM for what you have in mind. I have a handful of people who want a few racks of chips stamped here or there, so it may take a while. A couple of those members have MD-50 blanks, which can really be a challenge.

And this is strictly a hobby, so I get to it when I get to it.

Hourglass are a lot easier than something like MD-50, but over the years their recessed inlay has become less reliable out of the box so it requires more careful work.

So it sounds like if I can get my hands on ASM blanks there will be less work/waste?

CPC's list of molds and which ones are or are not available for hotstamping is pretty much dead-no accurate. However, it doesn't stop us from trying to hotstamp MD-50s (DIASQR), hourglass and FDL's. All of various degrees of success and mis-stamps. Out of these three the hourglass mold is probably the one that will have the least.

A-molds (A-crest), HHR and the others are much easier to hotstamp because their inlays are much more consistent.

+1 for @cgraham86 and +1 for A-Molds. 1800 chips stamped and "0" errors. (y) :thumbsup:

For my MD-50 stamp with @cgraham86, I am anticipating 25% to 50% error rate so I ordered chips accordingly.

There are also lots of design considerations for MD-50 stamps. If you are going to have detail in the center, you need to avoid detail on the edge. Detail on the edge is fine as long as you don't put much (or anything) in the center.
