    Yeah so i ordered a pound of pinnacle ultra poly clay to last me a fair while. well when I got it it came like this

    scale zero'd out

    but then I put it on my small scale and it only comes out to 14.3 oz thats almost 2 oz short, a pretty significant amount IMHO, had it been 15.7 or something like that I would let it go. but i think they need to be aware of my dissapointment I'm not looking for anything for free or anything like that but c'mon almost 2 oz gone, thats enough for a touch up on my car.

    That sucks!

    Do you have another scale to try just in case? Or have a calibration weight?

    I had already calibrated that before opening my mouth, I'm not one to talk down on a company unless I have proof.

    that sucks. I hope they don't weight these bars in the containers and claim it to be 16 oz

    Sadly I bet that is exactly what they do, and claim to give you a "pound" of product.
