Summary: We give an example of a uniform Frostman--Blaschke product $B$, whose spectrum is a Cantor set, such that the composition operator $C_B$ is not closed-range on any weighted Bergman space $\mathbb{A}_{\alpha}^p$, answering two questions posed in recent papers. We include some general observations about these Blaschke products. Using methods developed in our first example, we improve upon a theorem of V.I. Vasjunin concerning the rate at which the zeros of a uniform Frostman--Blaschke product approach the unit circle.
