Free registration at the forum removes this block.I genuinely didn't even know that there were major differences in terms of molding... a half hour after reading your comment I now have a basic understanding of 8 different types of processes and have determined that injection molding is indeed the route I need to go.I think you are better of searching for the process that is needed. For example injection molding, vacuum molding, rotation molding etc.
We've made a basic prototype of the bucket and have been asked where we purchased it.. Friends and family have always said that they loved it, but I told my immediate family to take the kind words with a grain of salt. I then brought the bucket to the state park nearest me (it has a huge lake/beach) to see if there would be any buzz or questions about it - and indeed there were. I unfortunately don't have the capability to produce it myself (in the form that I envision it being in) and want to produce a small quantity of the product to truly test the market (which I will do by hustling on the board walk). I agree that it may be too late to truly make enough sales to write home about about (depending on how long it will take to produce). BUT.. I suppose I shall find out.If the product is easy to make then maybe you should consider making it yourself and showing it to buyers to get their opinion of it. This may not actually be the right time to sell this product. I sell a BBQ accessory product and many of my buyer buy in the fall so they can be ready when the spring/summer time hits. It may already be too late for this season for your product but you should still show it off to buyers because they may still buy or at least give you an order for next season.
