Just FYI. Figured I would just start a new thread - looks like they found someone else to pick up QCM production. No idea how they will do handling small orders. If I hear anything else from Greg, I will update this thread.
As a further update, I just spoke with a woman named Debbie Brooks at the Kent, Washington Forest Tech Coatings facility, and placed an order through her. She did say, however, that the primary contact person for ordering epoxy products (former QCM stuff) is Greg Davis, who is located at the Eugene, Oregon manufacturing facility (contact info above in Scott's post). Debbie reports that the epoxy is now being made in Eugene, and that the Eugene facility is currently working on filling some remaining back-log orders from the original QCM facility. She gave me a lead time on my new order for EMV-0049 of 2 weeks. She also said that orders for epoxy can be picked up at the Eugene facility. I didn't get any pricing yet, as that is supposed to be coming via e-mail. I must admit that I still have my fingers crossed over this product transition. I'll probably pick up my first batch in Eugene so I can maybe see first-hand how stable and reliable things look/seem.
Ya Debbie is the person I spoke with. QCM EMV 0043 is now called 218 S000 and ECA 032 is now 212 K003. Don't quote me on it but shipping appears to be free in Washington because of the paint deliveries they do. Saves on the dangerous good fees!

Man, what an epoxy-emotional roller coaster! QCM epoxy is going away... but wait another company is picking it up, and hey they're local to me so no shipping! but wait they're not actually local still need to ship, but wait shipping might be free!
Free shipping confirmed in Washington. It is just based on their paint delivery schedule but it seems pretty regular. They also has a distribution place in Vancouver so if arrangements are made in advance that is also possible.
Jsut called Greg, set up an account, and was told my order (small; 5g of epoxy plus 1g of hardener) will ship today. Cost seems to be close to what it was with QCM.
Doesn;t seem to be any interruption of service. Thank god, because i really felt like I turned a corner when I switched to QCM.
