A thread over in
'whatever' brought an interesting fellow named Bill to my attention. Bill's gotten a hold of an old novelty injection mold machine, the kind that would make you, say, Abe Lincoln's head out of plastic while you watch, and wants to start up production of these figures, a different one each week, for a mail-order club.
Here's a link to his blog:
MoldvilleA couple of us have started emailing him about the project, for updates and what not, and in his last letter he had a tech question he hoped I'd pass along to someone who might know.

...I wonder if anyone in your group knows if there are alternative coloring methods for coloring polyethylene. For instance, is there a way to MARBLE coloring of low melt, low viscosity polyethylene?
I know I don't know, but I hoped maybe someone in the custom depot might have some kind of knowledge in this area.
Discuss!
