  • - MiniCraft is a complete hat.
  • - Paul sent wrong gelcoat; unprofessional.
  • - I will never do business with them again.
  • - Customer service should be a priority.

MiniCraft is a complete *** hat. Paul swore me up and down saying how unprofessional I am etc.

because he sent the wrong gelcoat. I will never do business with this company ever again.

Customer service should always be priority especially in these times. Paul has no place in this industry with his poor attitude.

User's recommendation: Do not EVER use minicraps overpriced gel. He says MEKP and it’s supposed to be MEKDDM9
