"BUT, they won't until they are CERTAIN of consistent quality and the required COMMERCIAL volume"
Romans I agree , and would like to add to my previous comment. If we can produce consistent quality in required Commercial volume this company is priceless. If we can't we are worthless. The middle of the road which is where we are is some production to prove our consistent quality and once that is complete we can supply Commercial volume. All in my opinion of course . Hopefully the target date is near.
