Thanks for the kind words guys. I am humbled by the nice story about me in this month's Mobile Beat Magazine. The Mobile DJ Industry has been very good to me these past 35 years, and I love this job!
Many thanks to Ryan Burger and Marc Andrews for their articles on Steve Cie (Pro DJ Files) and also The FaCIEd™ Product Review.
The FaCIEd™ is the first and only "fabric" dj frontboard to have been reviewed by Mobile Beat, and endorsed by N.A.M.E., Pro DJ Publishing, Pro Mobile DJ.com, NJDJN, and The Mobile MBA.
No, Joe, I am not yet a sponsor here at ODJT, but have communicated with Jon and Dan about it and hopefully will be soon!
This new enterprise has not yet done any advertising yet, and has been propagated by word of mouth and forum postings.
Trade Mark and Patent has been accomplished, so now the next thing to do is proper marketing and increased production.
In answer to the fire rating question, the fabric I use ( cotton/lycra/spandex blend) is fire rated as IFR which is Inherently Flame Retardant. A fabric is categorized as IFR if woven with threads that yield a product that meets fire code standards, without being subject to any special processing or addition of chemicals. IFR fabrics are expected to remain flame retardant for their lifetime, even after repeated washings. The “inherently flame retardant” phrase has been used in this manner for nearly a century now. NFPA 701. This material is actually intended for clothing.
Once again, thanks to everyone here at ODJT for their kind words of support and for your friendship!
