Make sure that your lamp isn't too close to the blank.
Heating up slowly tends to avoid one part of the plate being of a much higher temp than another - this causes warping.

Mine too - had a couple of exchanges with Flo over the last few days

Apparently so
He was good enough to drop me a PM earlier this afternoon to explain.

Feel better soon T!!

Hi all, This is a general shout out to see if anyone has heard from Tommi 'Cymbalism' Emmi lately? :?: I've been trying to contact him every way I know how (this forum, his poly-cut website, AIM) for the past few weeks but have not had any response :cry: Just concerned that something has happened! A...

Just out of interest fraggle, do you know how much weight you are cutting with?

Just to confirm, are you cutting or 'embossing'?
If cutting, what does the chip look like? (eg. is it grey/shiny, thick/thin etc.)

For the record (no pun intended), I believe that it was the 1952 Seeburg M100C juke which first introduced the rudimentary AVC (Auto Volume Control) circuitry.

Fascinating article - great detail in the interview. :wink: Always loved his Dad's landmark compositions and really interesting to learn how his son continued that tradition.

Thx

PS - dug out some of your early stuff on DJAX the other day... still rocks!

Nice one!

Although I'm not a mod, I have to agree that giving them permissions to delete accounts would be a wise move. Most of our mods are on the site at least once every other day - Being able to see some obvious spam and delete the account immediately would aid this problem immensely. Then there wouldn't ...

From experience I'm almost 100% sure that the spam we are seeing recently is generated by an automated application running on one (or several) botnets.
Such applications are set up to search the internet for PHPBB driven forums, create accounts and then hit them with a selection of juicy spam

My jaw hit the floor when I heard the quality of the clip

Cheers for giving us a blow-by-blow account too Mark... fascinating!
