THE FILLICONE BOTTLE BOOT STORY
BACK IN FEBRUARY 2021 WE SPOKE TO SOME COOL GUYS IN WEST SUSSEX ABOUT WASTE SILICONE.
IT SEEMED LIKE A LONG SHOT BUT JOE WAS UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. A YEAR OF MAKING, TESTING & TRIALING PROTOTYPES & HERE IT IS, THE FILLICONE BOOT.
DAVID (THE MILL MAN) MIXES PIGMENT & 100% SCRAP COMPOUNDS (FROM MOULDING OR EXTRUSION) INTO SHEETS.
THE BOOT CUP IS THEN MOULDED USING A 40 YEAR OLD FILM DEVELOPING TYRE MOULD THAT WAS LONG OUT OF USE & DESTINED FOR SCRAP. WE KEPT THE EMBOSSED ‘T’ ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOOT (BELIEVED TO BE TECHNICOLOUR) BECAUSE WE LIKE IT.
MARIA CUTS OUT THE PARTS ON BRITISH MADE MOULD PRESSES FROM THE 1940S. RUTH TRIMS. NICOLA CHECKS & ARIEL PACKS THEM READY TO BE SCREEN- PRINTED.
