Delta Creative has no problem with shooting artists in the back

 In case any of you are the craftsy type, like me, who like to try new projects and might be tempted to try a product like Delta Creative's PermEnamel glass paint ... you wanna watch out for yourself. Because Delta CEO Bill George has made it abundantly clear that if you've had problems they're your problems, not his.

A glass painting artist named Vicki Silcox who has spent years and painted thousands of pieces with PermEnamel had the surface prep product fail on her -- losing her a wad of money in stock and time, a real blow for a small business artist -- and George has informed her that she's just out of luck.

"Their technical department confirmed the failure, the Director of Marketing approved the claim for time and materials, and the President declined reimbursement to me stating that Delta is not in the business of reimbursement! Most importantly, he stated to me that the company does not and will not guarantee the products."

She's been an unofficial rep and cheerleader for Creative the whole time she's used the product, standing behind Delta, and now Bill George refuses to stand behind her. Keep it classy, Bill.

I see two points of failure here:  (1) Delta is in the "hobbyist" business and feels no obligation to its consumers as business people.  Obviously from the top, the guy feels no responsibility to what he likely feels are housewives puttering around with their products for fun.  Apparently they don't desire to be in the business of producing real commercial quality product.  (2) If Silcox had been a multimillion dollar business, you bet your bottom dollar they'd pay attention.  See #1.

Pathetic, Bill George. Just pathetic.
