An exciting and innovative feature of this newwork is the frame designed by Temper which is amazingly derived fromoriginal vinyl records! Reproducing this unique vinyl framewas a time consuming and labour intensive process, in order to provide an exact replica of Temper’s original in detail, colour and finish. The original frame, which used 36 vinyl records, was used as a template for a series ofmould tools designed to replicate exactly the surface finish of the original frame. Two layers of precisely blended gelcoat, the colour and texture of the original vinyl, were painted into themould and left to dry, after which resinwas spread over the painted area. Once dry, a layer of fibreglass was inserted into the frame to toughen it, followed by another thick layer of resin. Once removed fromthe mould, the frontwas buffed to the finish of an original vinyl record, completewith authentic scratches!

A full clean and polish is then given to the front of the frame to give the authentic look and feel of vinyl records.
Once completely set the frame is taken out of the mould, and the back of the frame is cleaned.
