Hey All,

Does anyone know why the subject clear flat is literally impossible to find, anywhere? This is my absolute, number one go-to flat finish, hairy brush or airbrush applied, all-around great stuff, and I am down to, literally, drops left in my last bottle. I can't find the stuff available, anywhere. The gloss and satin versions are plentiful, but not the matte. Why?

More important, does anyone know when it will become available again? And, if anyone has a secret stash of the stuff, I'll be happy to pony up some extra cash to be able to get my hands on some of it!!

Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi Curt,
Maybe the current situation has affected production in some way as
even my go to supplier here in Canada has been out of stock for
some time.
I must say that it is the best matte finish I have ever tried and
the demand must be quite high.
Cheers,

Hi Joe,
I'm also thinking it might be COVID19 related, but odd that it seems limited to just the flat/matte, and not the other finishes. Maybe because the flat is just way more popular than the satin or gloss, as you say. Thanks for the comment.
