Project Update: Epoxy Added to Rainbow-Plated Pins. Surveys Unlocked.
Hi everyone!
The poll for adding/not adding epoxy to the rainbow-plated pins has ended at 66% in favour of epoxy so I'll be adding that effect for a consistent look across the collection!
In case you didn't see those updates, here's a bit of info on what adding epoxy means:

In case you didn't see those updates, here's a bit of info on what adding epoxy means:
- Rainbow-plated pins have to be soft-enamel (enamel colours dip below the level of the metal lines) because of the plating process.
- I have adjusted the Oarfish, Mandarinfish and Crab so the finer details are screenprinted, to make sure to keep the essence of the original designs.
- In order to use screenprint on soft-enamel pins, they first need to have clear epoxy added to them to create a level surface to screenprint onto.
- Some people prefer this effect on soft-enamel pins anyway, and since I have to use it on those three pins, we'll now be adding it to all the rainbow-plated pins so that the collection will have a cohesive appearence.
If you missed the explanation of the changes then you can read this previous update for info.
EDIT: NOTE: OK, so I thought I'd unlocked surveys but it didn't work and after talking to Backerkit Support it seems I can't actually reopen surveys after I've charged Add-Ons and Shipping.
So, if you would like to adjust your pin choices or add more to your order in light of the epoxy changes; please message me via Backerkit or directly at [email protected] and I will make alterations on a case-by-case basis for you.
Sorry for the faff everyone!
-
I estimate I will be able to start shipping in mid-to-late-June, depending on how long it takes the pins to arrive and for me to quality-check and back the pins to fill orders.
I'll keep you all updated!
In the meantime, if you haven't seen it already; my Warped Oceans 1.2 project just launched as part of Beasts & Botanicals! :D
I couldn't resist the chance to add designs for Manta Ray, Sun Fish, and Turtle to the collection (they lost the vote to Nudibranch during the Pintopia campaign):
I hope you like them! :D
All the best,
Abi
