<p>[QUOTE="playpossum0985, post: 1809604, member: 23806"]The description in the first link is close but not exact. I am only trying to reconstruct a car crash in my head. It makes sense to me, especially since the die's were probably forged in China (I dont believe we even have an operating steel mill in this country anymore). If there is any varience in the alloy mixture, too much oxygen, not enough titanium, It could have a major impact (so to speak) on the die's preformance. No two breaks are alike. I wouldnt discount any possibility in a catostrophic die failure. The pieces must fall out, or shift enough to create the cud. There is actually a a fine raised ridge that is noticable in the pics (that is the spot between 1&2 o'clock that everyone see's glue peeling up) I'm sure Jody's pics will reveal this.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, keep in mind, I'm no geneious. I, like everyone else, am just looking for a logical explanation! </p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, I used to think John Cougar Meloncamp was a place to send special kids for the summer![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
