Bradley,
After spending > 15 years in Marketing, I can't help myself from trying to help here. I apologize if I am out of line by saying anything.
I meant my 1st post more as a "PR" idea for an easy, inexpensive (free?) fix for this potential problem with your excellent design. sort of like the fixes that auto companies do when they discover a problem and make a recall.
If the customer has to order the materials it will cost around $20*, and have a lot of leftover stuff. This seems to me like adding insult to injury? It is a little like if Toyota told me to order and pay for the parts to fix a TH problem with my Lexus?
*(Dave Brown CF strip 5' min. size = $6.69 + $9.98 for Orange film role from John + sh/handling + tax = total >$20)
I was envisioning a very small, simple PR solution. Cut two 5" strips of the 1/2" CF strips (or whatever size you think is needed), cut out the two needed small film patches, make a small sketch of the fix location with a few "how to" words, put the three small items in a standard envelope with one stamp (should be less than an oz?) and send it to anyone that contacts you/John and says they have a T-Rex already glued together.
My guess is that all the material costs to John, including the envelope and stamp should be less than $1.25. Plus a very small labor cost. Given these small costs to him, I think it would be good PR to offer these little fix kits for FREE. If this was well advertised; here, his website, hobby shop partners, etc. I think this would be very good PR and prevent any worry for those who bought one. And it would show a proactive stance on the problem by you and John, and help make the problem completely go away.
Just a thought.
Regards,
