Great Products No Longer Available

[Ron Eggers]

Let's start a list, shall we?

Crescent SuperSmooth with Perfect Mount adhesive: The best product I've used for cold mounting high-gloss prints and photos. Most distributors never carried it. Most of you have never seen it. Now you never will.

Mat Magic: I rarely used it, myself, but I had a long-time employee who did amazing things with it.

889 Tape: Jim Miller (and everyone else) must be scrambling to find a working substitute for use with clear film mounting and encapsulation. I bought a bunch of it six months ago. I guess I'll find out what kind of shelf-life it has.

(Edit: False alarm on the 889 tape. It's still available.)

I still mourn.

Mat Magic ink, paints, and powders.

Ohhhhh how I miss them. They turned into $$$$$ right before your very eyes.

The X-Acto Parallel line marking gauge. Thank goodness for Paul Fredrick who sent me 6 of them a few years back. Wally, yours is on its way under separate cover!

I got lots of matte magic left - Any buyers?

There are two complete sets of Mat Magic for sale on eBay right now, starting bid of $65.00.

The entire line of Ivy moulding.

I second that emotion.

P.S. I would also add most of the Alpha Colorcore boards that have been discontinued over the years. Note to N/B: If you ever discontinue #8881, there will be h e l l to pay!

Any number of exotic Nielsen metals that were so unique, nobody bought 'em.

(Sigh...if only manufacturers would off their bean-counters....)

WHAT...WHEN...WHY...

I had no idea Mat Magic was gone.When did this happen? I use the stuff all the time, especially the inks. Any suggestions for substitute product?!?!

Most of the beautiful LaMarche mouldings.

 

[Amy McCray]

That cool tool used to cut adhesive-backed marbled papers into several equal skinny strips at a time.

Lori, Mat Magic has been gone for about five years - the original formulation somewhat longer.

Here's a link to some info about this:
