No. Apparently they chose to continue manfacturing a quality product
rather
than compromise their standards to meet the predatory pricing games of the
big box stores. All the more reason to support them.

Penofin Says ?No? to Big Box Stores
UKIAH, CA -- Penofin Performance Coatings Inc. issued a press release
claiming it had ?fired their biggest customer.? Castle Newell III,
president
of Penofin, said, ?We were forced to make a choice ? move our
manufacturing
overseas to continue to do business with one of the largest retailers in
the
nation or say good-bye to this customer and keep these jobs from moving
offshore. These giants want more rebates, more time to pay, added
surcharges
and monetary demands for their bottom lines that have been forcing
thousands
of American businesses to take their jobs to foreign countries. We
said,?No!??


I liked the product before, now I like it even more. I get mine at a local
lumber yard. It is available by mailorder also.
