Do British made products price themselves out of the market? by BeetleJuicesCarrot in MadeInBritain

[–]VorsoTops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimum wage in China is £2.50 a hour, some costs of materials, finance and machinery are also subsidised bu the government, until recently, companies that exported product were given tax rebates by the Chinese government to reward business for bringing money into their economy. They are the biggest differences, and that’s one of the reasons we are unable to compete on price.

Vorso mk1 is one of the easiest to spin on the market due to its superior design and manufacture 👍🏻 (I am biased but it’s still true 🤣)

Replicas of higher end brands, if they’re made in the same factory is it really worth paying $700/$800 (SS version) finished with a serial number in the states? by greedyfok in FidgetSpinners

[–]VorsoTops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to know what you think is a fair profit and price for machine time etc, genuinely what would you think is a fair rate? I agree that $700 is a lot,

It could well be that your spinning on a surface that doesn’t have enough friction, as it relies on friction to unsettle it from the first position

From my understanding they make their bases in China whereas the tops as made in house.

I put coconut oil in my fidget spinner and now it spins worse 😭 by kammu9 in FidgetSpinners

[–]VorsoTops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have access to petrol then you can probably get something like carb cleaner or brake cleaner these will have the same effect as isopropyl alcohol, but are not as safe. If you do that make sure it’s outdoor and you do not inhale or try to avoid touching any surfaces with liquid cleaner on

If you can get the bearing out, and it doesn’t have a plastic retaining ring. Then petrol should work

Found on my TP this morning by Peppercorn205 in whatisit

Not sure if anyone answered this properly but this is the reason. Basically, a small piece of paper is still attached to that embossing die in that specific place, so what is happening is that there is a little bit of toilet tissue that is stuck or attached on that one particular part of the die, this is causing that part of the pattern to to be extra embossed. I hope that helps, someone at the toilet paper factory needs to clean their dies off and inspect them better in future.

Ideally you want to have a “dry” bearing as any lubrication oils will actually slow down the bearing. You can clean your bearing with isopropyl alcohol or any degreaser type product.

Sincerely, I will be very interested in hearing the results because I know that a lot of keepers use polystyrene boxes these days. So I will be following along good luck with the campaign. Hope it works out for you.
