are you going with that name then? the name evokes silliness and funtimes and i likes it.

i'd definitely put you in the select group of people that are allowed to use exclamation points in band names.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 01, 2009 9:16 am

I'm going to keep calling it that, if only to myself and friends. Mike G doesn't like that name anymore and was talking about calling it "The Gentleman" or something.

I think Pancakes! including the exclaimation mark is a great name, fuck all this "The .. " etc. rubbish.

The Gentleman and Pancakes! sound like two entirely different bands in entirely different genres.

very very tired of the as a prefix to band names.

gentleman and the pancakes! would be quite a good name.

on second thoughts, straying into 'comedy' territory...

You mean that they need to really dry out before you clearcoat?

Yep, pretty sure it's fine once it's properly dry (might add a day to the process) but I'll check with my more knowledgeable colleagues at coffee in a minute. Gold fuzzface sounds supercool.

I left it overnight this time. Decal applied last night at 8 pm, clearcoat this morning at 7 am. I hope that's ok. If it's not I'll spit.

Currently this decal process is quite long:

Print Decal - leave 2 hours to dry
Clearcoat Decal Paper - leave a day to dry
Apply Decal to pedal - leave 12 hours to dry
Clearcoat pedal 2-3 times over 36 hours, + 12 to dry.

GAH

Case photos!

Reece here is the current state of yours, Yay or Nay? Carry on or sand it all off and start again?

Lamps case, tried to capture the Metallic nature with the flash.

Fuzzface I just applied the decal on. Lost some of the border in the process. Thinking about ditching the borders as a result.

And a Saltbooster I am buying for the website/to sell. Decal applied and lacquered

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:34 pm

hmm. how long would it take to redo?

i'm in no hurry to get the pedal and if you're happy doing it, it would be nice. i don't to be a pain in the arse though.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:35 pm

2 weeks or so, I'm very busy next week and I would need to buy more yellow and light blue paint as I am out.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:39 pm

ach don't go buying two new lots of paint.

you shouldn't have posted that last pic of the shiny orange saltbooster, that's what's makin me want to get it redone. tasty.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:42 pm

I'll redo it then, I want you to be happy with your pedal. The only reason I even asked you rather that just redoing it was because you mentioned you wanted it to get beat up.

I can't guarantee it will come out as well as the orange one because as you can see from the Fuzz face, every decal application goes differently. I will do my best.

I'll go and sand it off now and lay some primer.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:45 pm

well i would prefer it...

thanks alot mike!

YOU SEE AUG? THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Post by **Mike** » Fri May 01, 2009 5:46 pm

no worries. I will try and do it as fast as I can, but unfortunately the time next week the paint would dry is busy:

Wed: playing for my company Football team
Thurs: Art Brut Gig
Fri-> Sun night in Paris.
