Please explain to me how that's not real information.
Here is what I specifically said: "Can anyone confirm (or point me to a source) describing the process for these artisans?"
In the subsequent sentence I then gave an example, as you should be well aware, of specific techniques for casting ABS and PBT plastic materials for keycaps - "double/triple/quadruple shot"
You then replied back with a brief comment about the material being plastic which 1) does not address at all my question about technique or process and 2) is a garbage answer to begin with. Fortunately, there are other posters with really great links illustrating the process so I'll consider my question answered.
Your distended and wastefully verbose posts do not strike me as respectful nor do they invoke any interest in me to respond appropriately.
But yes, they are "shot" with multiple layers, or points, of plastic. I'm not sure if the newly added signature is painted, but etf normally does not paint his artisan caps. As for the actual plastic used, I'm not sure.
By George, chaps. If one would merely consult the source of these fine specimens of artisinal crafting, one would come to understand that the answer to the question so eagerly sought is available for our knowledge-gathering efforts, right in front of our eyes! Instead of wasting precious time hiding our simple questions and pointed statements beneath a shroud of unnecessary, inefficient, and impolite prose, we should re-focus our efforts in a more useful manner: by checking the source!
FYI the underside of each cap is signed in resin per ETF:
"Second, in an effort to help folks out there differentiate between non-Nightcaps (read counterfeit) Fugu, we're signing every piece that goes out the door in resin prior to casting. That means that the signature is "baked" in. Though certainly not impossible to fake, it makes it increasingly difficult by adding another layer of complexity. Not that it was really a huge issue to begin with, just more of a piece of mind thing."
