“There are only two companies worldwide that produce lacquers. One of these companies is a one-man operation in Japan run by an old man who produces the lacquers in his garage."

NOT GOOD

I still believe someone can step in and develop (and patent) new technology to overcome this, mechanical engineer ideally. There will be a market for it and well paid I can say. It won't be easy, it will take some time and money but there are some rewards, if I win the lottery and get 30 mil or so I will certainly embark on a plane tomorrow. Maybe should do a brief market study 1st 😉

I agree, the financial barriers to compete with prohibitively expensive and established methods are severely reduced by this disaster.

Innovation is probably already in the wings.

Easy, Quick, NO, but .....

The fact that Vinyl outsold CD's last year is an incentive for seed money from established labels to be provided, pronto!
