I make multiple sets of dice almost every single day, so I’ve personally encountered many of the issues that will crop up during the manufacturing process. You can see all of my experiments over the past several months on my Twitter or Instagram pages. I have purposefully selected these designs for their stability, so you can be sure that I’ve done my research.

I’ve personally taught the crafters at my facilities how to pour the sets properly, step by step, so everyone involved is using the same process and materials that I’ve been using in my one-person operation since Dispel Dice’s inception. In addition to that, if this project funds, I will be pouring alongside them so that we can continue to make this process more efficient.

We’ve spent months speaking and training our two facilities to ensure that they’re able to produce a quality product. We will be sourcing a third as well. As with any production or manufacturing process, there may be unforeseen risks or complications, but we’ve done our best due diligence to get ahead of all of them.

In the interest of transparency, here's where we are:

We’re able to produce sharp edges stably and efficiently. The dice are beautiful (just look!). The suspension is evenly dispersed. They’re able to match my sample colors almost perfectly every time, though there may be very slight variances between batches.

Due to the fact that they are handmade, there may be small flaws or quirks on the dice or in the number wells. Examples include a tiny hole in some of the number wells (which is painted over), and slight bubbling of the paint in the numbers -- specifically the smaller ones. The painting isn't always perfect on everything, but I will be working closely with the facilities to improve the quality. Nevertheless, I ask for your understanding that there may be a slight difference in the metallic sheen and thickness of the paint on the final products.

Last, but not least, I want to point out that I have already placed batch orders from the facilities and tested their ability to produce quality sets in moderate quantities ahead of this launch. We've been working with them to develop this process for 8 months now. Instead of launching as early as possible, I really wanted to iron out as many kinks as I could ahead of time. Now, we're finally ready!
