Loctite All Purpose 2 in 1 seal and bond sealant product is junk. Loctite is owned by Henkel a German company. Previously they produced good sealants and adhesives.
They claim this product is the same as the original formula - It is not!. They claim flexibility and durability -It is not. The product is now filled with about 70% silica-sand in a very large particle size. There is a small amount of polymer and about 2% solvent, if that much. So your left with essentially what you can make your self with 70% sand and some clay -real junk. Of course with that much silica the adhesion is terrible. It balls up and stick to your trowel. You cannot work it. Since there is so little polymer it is not smooth and does not apply well. It applies in chunks as you might expect. The label says it is shelf stable without opening for 18 months. Typically DIYs use from 1/4 to 1/2 of a sealant tube, so they look to use the remained in a couple of months. Forget it! This stuff cured in the tube in 1.5 weeks. The lap shear and tensile strength is pitiful! There is no elongation. Painting required a primer.
I will never use this garbage again and sent my cured tube to their President (Henkel) in CT and told him to use the junk. Use GE (now owned by another company) silicone or Sonalastic; i. E. silicone, silicone acrylics, polyethers, or polyurethanes. Even if there is a $2 difference, since you will spend 4x the effort in using Loctite/Henkel junk with poor performance. I had to redo my work using a good sealant/adhesive. Forget water clean up as a con job. If you must use mineral spirits so what it cleans very well and you can use it to work the product. You can use water to work silicone since the material is hydrophobic. Yes, they all will paint. But, for heaven's sake - do not use a loctite/Henkel product. They have cheapened their product beyond usability! Materials like teh Sonalastic brand made by BASF are sold through a Distributor. You can call and check with a commercial sealant distributor and pick up a very good commercial brand and save yourself a lot of headaches.

We received a contaminated products which we became ill from. Contacted nut.com and they acted like idiots. Treated the whole affair like some grade school child -completely cavalier for a serious event that has two state Health Department investing the product. It was a chocolate mix from a company in PA contaminated with bacteria from which we go sick. Nut.com stated, CS, that they would get their food safety people involved -they have NO food safety people. Part of their problem is that they use bins and fill packages from the bins which result in really cramped, damaged, broken, squashed product - The product was tested and found to be contaminated. Since nut.com behaved like happy idiots we just will no longer order from them and await the state agency results. Go somewhere else to buy and be safe- your health is too important to be treated so lightly by Nut.com

Ordered blinds through HD. Levolor sent an adjustment rod that was about 2' when they were to send a rod over 4'. HD Customer Service contacted them and requested a resend. Nasty Levolor responded with lack of respect and courtesy to above all their Home Depot Rep! The place were they make living by selling their blinds. How disgusting of Levolor. After the second call they send a piece of garbage that must have been in their seconds pile: no handle, glued together; it looked like Levolor management looked for the cheapest thing they could find; a good way to treat your customers after they paid full price. It was a cylindrical rod with glued ends and was beige... the blinds and original rod were, of course, WHITE! After the third call by Home Depot, even HD was upset with them at this point, they simply elected to never respond again. Had to have a rod made because Levolor did not want to respond as a good, honest, caring business. Go somewhere else and never buy at HD or Lowes or anywhere else. If your spending YOUR money why make headaches for yourself. Buy so you have peace and avoid hack outfits like Levolor.

All of a sudden books written in 1980 are now priced at $20 by Amazon. The price of books has risen through Amazon by almost 50% in some cases. It turns out that Amazon is trying to get people to buy through their Kindle e-books by pricing hard copy too high for the value (clever marking but customer negative and expensive). Nasty policy. Returns have become more difficult, much more. Some manager ahs decided that a way to raise profits for unfortunate buyers is too exclude the Buyer and limit returns. If you have, by some magic ghost like decision Maker as Amazon have returned too many item, in their minds, then you are notified that you cannot buy anymore. Many people have protested, many reinstated. The real issue is that Amazon allows any hack two-bit outfit to sell on Amazon. So people receive bad products, out-of-spec products, damaged products, etc. more often then in the past. Returns have escalated due to Amazons anyone can sell policy. It is definitely not the Purchaser but the Seller who need to be excluded. Amazon claims to review Sellers for performance which is very limited. When greed dominates it is a real 'fire'. The policy that has been established is profit above service, quality, product performance, product as suppose to be.

Send me the wrong ink. The bottles are a completely different color than the correct ink. You have to be blind not see the difference. Complete carelessness. I complained as that ink could have damaged the printer. They got upset with me fro complaining about there poor service. Cartridges do not work consistently. Ink varies and is not even close to original color prints. I am suspicious of IP: where do they get their ink? Cartridges? Chips? I do not do business with them any more. Too wacky, inept, suspicious, poor service.
