Sabrina,Paula is correct. I was not referring to Diamond FX. I have not tried that paint. Years ago, when I first started out, I bought Rose Art at Michaels. Based on my short (like one time) experience with them, and Gary's knowledge about the recall and allergic rate, and the FDA not following up on the recall, it was those paints, and not Diamond FX, that I was referring to. I have not tried them, I only went to their website. My comment was about how differently Diamond FX and Wolfe described their products. I do plan to try them and when I do then I feel I can comment on them. For now, my comment was strictly what I understood and found interesting on the two websites. Yes, I can belive that there probably is competition between the two companies, big time. Once I try Diamond I will decide for myself if it perfoms the same as WB, if it does, and if it is priced lower than WB, then I will try it again. I would not knock a product that I have not tried.JoanOn Oct 23, 7:09 pm, sabrina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:> Joan,> I went to the Diamond FX website and it says that the products are> approved, not the paints.
