151 paint tin lids bend too easily

I bought six tins of 151 metallic paint, three silver and three gold. I opened two of them the other day to spruce up an ornament. The first thing I noticed was that the material the lids are made of is extremely soft. Using any kind of blade to lift the lid causes it to bend upwards and go out of shape making it difficult to open. That's OK if you're using the whole tin but when you try to put the lid back on it no longer fits so I had to use a wooden mallet to coax it to close again. Sadly the lid of one of them is now so out of shape that there are gaps which will allow air in and therefore the paint will harden. When I open the others I will make sure I have a more solid container into which to decant the paint.
I was quite satisfied with the paint itself and consider the finish pretty good for the price - if they only took the trouble to sort out the lids!

Misleading advertisment

The package clearly states that the plaster is waterproof, but in reality it is hardly water-resistant at all. Even a single drop of water is enough to make the plaster come off.
The product description is completely misleading and does not match the actual specifications. The quality is so poor that the company should be embarrassed to have its name printed on the packaging.

Heavy duty adhesive spray MY ARSE

Heavy duty adhesive spray MY ARSE
I bought a case of this stuff to relaminate the exteriors of four large hifi speakers.
All I can say is if you have anything you wish to stick and want it to stay stuck, pay more and use a decent glue.
I have spent forever re applying laminate, pressing, rollering, taping and eventually weighting it down just to stop the slight curl in the material from lifting the edges and more.
If it's a grubby little job in an attic you have then possibly ok but if it's a decent finish you're looking for then go the extra mile - buy some Bostik....

ELBOW GREASE PRODUCTS … EXCELLENT PRICE AND GREAT PRIDUCTS

So pleased I took a chance on Elbow Grease Products - reasonably priced and quality products that actually do what they say.

Having purchased the first Elbow Grease product a few months ago I am now a regular user of their washing up liquid, drain cleaner and various other products. The Air Fryer cleaner is amazing and I use it on greasy pans and plates, as well.

I had occasion to call the Company as I had bought what I thought was washing up liquid, and found it to be thinner than the last bottle. It turned out that I had accidentally bought a product for cleaning plastic etc! The Company were wonderful and explained what the product was for. And, to my surprise, they sent me a bottle of washing up liquid by next day delivery - totally unexpected and much appreciated.

If only all companies were that courteous and helpful. Thank you 151 Products Limited.

Great gloss paint at low cost

I only needed small White gloss paint. Bought on eBay cannot remember price but around £6. Yes it smells but open a window! Great finish well worth the smell. Goes on like a dream. If you like gloss this is great. Some people do not know how to paint and blame the paint. Use high quality masking tape is my tip. You get what you pay for

Unfair to consumers and the environment

According to the tins this is the producer of Elbow Grease Bathroom Mousse .
I have tried to contact them through their online contact messaging service twice to no effect. Eventually found a phone number in minuscule printing on the tin. I am awaiting their phone call back.
Bought two tins neither of which produce a cleaning ‘mousse’ from their nozzle, however long they are shaken. Instead a small dribble of clear liquid is produced, certainly not enough to clean the bath.
I am sick of retailers and manufacturers who produce and sell supposedly low price goods to the lower income section of the population in bargain basement type shops and the goods turn out to be sub standard. These are typically small items which most people shrug their shoulders at when they don’t work and go on not to complain but just dispose of the product.
Waste of money and earth resources .
And this is compounded by the purchasers inability to find the manufacturer easily so as to make a complaint.

poorly made spray paint

Not only a poorly made spray paint, but the customer service when you call to tell them this, is AWFUL! Spend a few more pennies on a better product and DON'T waste your money or time on these.

I only gave this a 4 due to only just came across the product. I have just sprayed 18 stair spindles with gloss white using only 4 cans the coverage is good enough for what I need. If you bought any household gloss paint, you would need to spend at least £20 for the paint and then paint each one twice. Waiting time for it to dry and brush marks that even professional decorators can't avoid most of the time. Yes would recommend this product at £2.50 a tin a bargin

Household gloves

These are great for the price, with plenty of room and a decent grip. I'd throughly recommend them.

Pestshield weed killer-complete waste of money

Bought the weed killer-advanced weed killer under the brand Pestshield. Used the 500ml on a small section of weeds. Left a week-and no difference at all.
A complete waste of money. I would have had better results if I had just peed on them.

151 hanging dehumidifier LEAKED ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND SHOES

I have been using 151 hanging dehumidifiers for some time now, never had an issue until now. They are designed to hang on your clothes rail and collect moisture trough a white beads into a reservoir at a bottom.
I had a bag hanging in my cupboard for maybe 3... Or 4 weeks and as I don't use that particular cupboard often, I've had no idea that the bag is leaking all over my clothes. Well it did and coused a lot of damage, some unrepairable - leather skirt! - being one of the completely ruined items. The liquid that was leaking is sticky, it's not pure water, it literally ate some of my clothes and shoes that were right underneath it. Absolute disaster.
I have contacted the company, sent pictures and the faulty bag and waited 3 weeks for their response - after they 'investigated' my issue.
I received an email informing me that they can't be liable for me mishandling their product! Absolutely ridiculous statemen. Offered me a £50 good will gesture and when I refused, their reply was -
I’m sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with our good will gesture.

Thank you for letting us know.

I no longer trust their products and neither should anyone reading this.

Glue hardens once opened..

Having bought 3 tubes of 151 Fantastic Elastic flexible bond over a few months and having the same problem with each one as once opened and using only a little glue the tube goes hard and when returning to use it again its rock solid and ends up in the bin... each tube was the same... a waste of money... once opened and even with the lid on tight it still hardens ..

Tried to get in touch with them to deal with them directly as I've been selling their products for a while and the suppliers I use can never readily supply the product lines I need. After getting in touch with them, they stated that I need to own a a brick and mortar store to deal with them. They said that a storage facility would not suffice. When I asked them why, they ignored me and stopped answering my messages. Very disappointing customer service. Other manufacturers on the same level have no issue with supplying online businesses and they certainly do not ignore messages from customers.
