Did we ever get an explanation about the ebay fiasco? If there was a valid one, I might give him another chance; if not, the hell with it.

he says he never authorized ebay to activate the sales page and he didn't know there was email until he went to close the account. I got an email from him, too, as I had emailed him thru ebay.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He put out an email and the sales go thru paypal.

This doesn't make sense to me, but then I don't use ebay very often, so maybe that's why.

I'm hoping it will work as I orderd a bottle today. I didn't know about the ebay problem. He has a place on his page that says if you order today, July 11, it will be shipped Friday, July 15.

Honestly, I will never order from him again. I only got my money back (2 yrs ago) because Mike Frantz gave me a credit to replace what I had paid Timberwolf. He seemed like he was back in business then too. I'm not willing to take the risk. Your mileage may vary...

I really hope he follows through, and becomes a dependable vendor. I loved Bucket O'Mud, but had to switch to Fusion. I'm willing to give it another try, but not until I hear that other people are actually getting what they ordered. So please keep posting and sharing your BOM experiences with us.

YAY! I just bought 3 different kinds, but I'd love to get my hands on BOM!

I hope this works out and if it does then international shipping may start. No other bead release works as well BoM for me. I have just started to use my last small container of it!!

Got mine today as expected. This is a good thing. After receiving 2 phone calls from Kevin I had a good feeling anyway.

I need some bead release, what makes this so great? Less breakage in heat?

It doesn't break much in the flame, and it is easy to get the bead off the mandrel. If my dipped mandrels have been sitting around because I haven't been at the torch for a while (a couple of months), the release still doesn't flake off much.

This, more than anything else, is the attraction for me. Flaking makes me bats, I hate picking bead release off my beads.

I do actually mix my BOM with Kragg Mudd, I don't use it straight. The KM makes the BOM even easier to get off the mandrel and the BOM fixes the KM problem (in my climate) of not being able to hang around on the mandrel without degrading.

Together they are my heaven release.

You would think I received a package of gold. My BoM arrived Saturday. Thanks, Kevin!
