From the link described above

“The temperature of the mould cavity is held at 1500C,”

Most plastics will vaporize at 2700 F. The ones that won’t are called metals.

Not to mention it’s pretty hard to reach 2700 F with a steam system.

This is the reason why you add a lot of cotton....

I work at a biology lab every day. Keep forgetting to sample the hairs on mint CPCs to test what it is.

Does anyone know what colors are used in the Atlantic Club 44mm?

I forgot
The 25 will be $20
Just don’t have the art file

I don’t have a sample set but I have a couple good friends helping me
Harrah’s? Never had

Then start with this!!! It is impossible to assemble a set without samples. I did so, but after receiving the samples I had to urgently write to David and make changes. In real life, they look a little different.

I think the green background is completely wrong. 25c, 5$!!! and 20$ look cool. 5c and 1$ are a bit lost... But, it's all to my taste, of course...

Thanks for your help
I think with my black label will be great

I recently contacted David about CSQ and this is what I got in response.

"It’s installed now but it’s too late for this run, it would probably be 6-7 months."

I got my stock Rounders add on on Monday. Customs are still going.

 

[maxim_666666]

I have a small question. If I want to get a small addition to the previous set, do I still have to follow the 300 chips-3 types rule..? Or is there a variation?

Case by case basis, but generally yes

You can probably get away with less but there may be a surcharge. Contact David Spragg with your request.

 

[LionPaladin88]

do you guys have any plans to add a WHOLE pile of new colors? for us to pick? and maybe some new edge spots as well? for both 39 to 44mm?

 

[Hotus777]

A few minutes of research through old threads would probably answer this question for you. It’s not cheap

I'd rather see the move happen safely and successfully and regular production get established long before new anything happens at CPC-West.

New colors and spots should probably be way down the priority list, and probably are. A move of this magnitude can't be easy. I would think new additions of any kind (beyond new stock sets) are a year three or four item at best.

I just went through this I added 100 Chips to one of my sets before 2025. And I paid a small fee because I was under the 300 Chip Requirement. It was a $25 fee. If you get 300. He let me order 100, 100, and 50 and 50 of different denoms of an existing set previously I was adding on to. But you have to ask him as it may be case by case.

How expensive is it to develop a new color, really? (I assume there is some initial experimenting, but given the in-house data on formulas for a wide range of existing colors, presumably the guesswork is not so random. And all that initial cost is amortized out indefinitely once established.)

For base colors, I saw this answered in a similar thread:

It’s very interesting, but I don’t think $4-$6K is a lot for product R&D.

No colors would exist if no one had bothered to take the risk of investing in them. And yet we have dozens.

You make the new color slightly more expensive — people will pay more for the newness. And you recoup that cost relatively quickly.

Once paid for bring the price down to the normal rate. You have it forever.

……….

I have had the experience of renovating or building several houses. In the process I have noticed that there are two main types of contractors/subs.

The first type reacts to every plan and idea with a long spiel about how it is going to be soooo hard, soooo expensive, wiping their brow, wringing their hands… I don’t know if this is doable.

The second type says, Yeah, we’ll figure that out, it’s an interesting challenge, it’ll look really cool—and gets right down to it.

I’m interested to see what type of “contractor” the new guy is.

Agreed. I understand money is involved but new colors, even new molds aren’t this weird ancient alien technology that is impossible to recreate. You just have to want to do it. It’s like updating an antiquated website…
