The said product were silicone masks. Enter Smooth-on From the day our company was born, Smooth-on was our "go to" supplier for raw material. But it wasn't only the materials we received, it was a friendship with a manufacturer that to this day I've yet to see paralleled. Smooth-on not only offers excellent product ( 98% of my shop are blue and yellow buckets ) but the customer service is mind blowing. You never feel like just a number being a client of Smooth-on. They take personal interest in your projects and offer the best advice and product solutions when faced with challenges. The also listen to their clients!! This is huge. They've invented product to serve specific needs. Combined with the amazing staff at our local Reynolds advanced materials in Burbank CA. Smooth-on has helped shaped my company, Immortal Masks into one of the worlds largest and most prolific silicone mask companies.

Today, my 2nd time there, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try the new products I researched online or stick to the products I've been using.

I left satisfied and better informed of products and techniques. I'm very excited to see how the glowing lava floor/ castle wall/ 2dragon instillation turns out! Production designer heaven

Also I am very disappointed with a couple of the employees. When I couldn't find an item I was looking for, I approached a sales person that was stocking items on shelves and asked where a certain item was. They acted as if I was being annoying and was very curt with the reply. When I went to the only cashier that was open, an elderly woman was at the register and was very snippy when I asked to repeat the total. It will be a very long time before I return to Hobby Lobby. It was not a very pelasant experience.

She made it clear to everyone that purchased that she was the owner and how much she donates to causes. While I was being rung up (by a wonderful staff member) and other patron was donating art and filling out paperwork. One of the employees assisted and because the paperwork was messed up the owner said loudly and with a tone "there are too many hands in the pot". The employee and artist looked flabbergasted and I was shocked at the way the owner handles herself. Although the store has alot of supplies not found in craft stores, what I went for the employee stated they were out of stock of 5 items for watercolor. The staff was extremely nice, but because of the owners personality I will not be returning.

The owner is normally inside, doing all sorts of fiber arts. I felt inspired by all the selections, and I thought I'd never pick up my hook again. Most of the yarn is pretty pricey, but good yarn cost more than a pretty penny. I thought they were reasonable prices considering the product. They also always have beautiful window displays, if you just want a peek.
