This is actually a very good post! Please allow me to explain....
I've been receiving parts from my supplier that have been sub-par in my opinion. The surface quality was not acceptable. I've tried numerous processes to "doctor" them up, and all that got me was crappier parts.

There have been alot of air bubbles and divets on the main surface of the pods; the surface receiving the silver paint. The paint accentuates these blemishes and leaves me with junk in my opinion.
So, on Friday, Aug. 29th, I had a meeting with my supplier and we addressed these issues. He is going to recut a new tool (an aluminum tool) which should take care of all of my complaints with the current tool (which was a "soft tool" made of some composite material I'm not familiar with). The new tool is substantially more money, but that will not affect the pricing!
I owe each of you an apology for letting this drag out so long! My only excuse is that I refuse to bring junk to market. I'd rather have a customer wait for something worth waiting for than to have a long list of unsatisfied customers.
There have been gaps in my posting frequency, and that's due to the fact that I've been put on 7 twelve-hour days at my day job, and I'm training for the Detroit Free Press Marathon. My days are starting to blend into each other.
I should add this to my first post so you don't have to sift through this thread.
