Finish palette first’s teardown. Clean brew supply, including the soaking bottles. Really, I need to finish the bottles just to have enough room for cleaning the other brew supplies.
Then, as I probably won’t have a lot more undeclared time, I need to do my ink transfer test. I got my paint, and I’m definitely getting happy that it’s at a reasonable consistency, but the more I think about it, the more I think it won’t transfer from a nice rubber roller to a glass bottle. That doesn’t mean I have to give up of course.
It does mean I’ll have to completely reconsider the design. I’m thinking as backup options, one of two ideas.
1) Silkscreen with powered rails. Put the bottle in a carrier, hit start and it moves bottle before and squeegee above in sync.
2) Silkscreen with a flexible frame that wraps around the bottle and then rotates through the range, to push against the squeegee.
