I know that - that's why I put the "smiley" in my post :-). If that's
the worst spelling of my name that I ever see, I'm doing OK :-).

..... And I think we agree on a lot
more issues than disagree. There are some finer points where we don't
think the same.

I'm sure that's the case.

Luck had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Polyfiber has admitted
as
much.

The impression here is that Polyfiber has admitted that they know when
smoothprime will fail because it is not luck but known technical
reasons.

What they have admitted (to me personally, on the phone) is that the
failure rate of SmoothPrime is substantially higher than that of
competing products. They have admitted that it's much more sensitive to
many essentially uncontrollable (and possibly even unknown)
environmental parameters than competing products. This does not make it
unusable - just MUCH more of a crapshoot as to what you'll get popping
out the other end.

However on your website " ...Top Gloss has been removed from the
market, due (I believe, although Polyfiber won't admit it in public,
but have said so to another builder)..." the "admission" really refers
to the Top Gloss paint and not smoothprime.

Thats not pure objectivity.

My previous statement ("Polyfiber has admitted as much") regarding what
PF admitted wasn't a reference to the website statement regarding TG,
but to the phone conversation regarding SP.

Hope this clears things up!
