Readers Respond: What’s a Product From the Past You’d Like to Have Back?

Product

WFB asked its followers on Facebook and Instagram what products from the past they would like to have back. Here’s what they told us:

Paul Digiore

D815.

Nick Spano

Properly graded wood. It’s a shame you have to order select grade now just to match up to No. 1 common.

Clinton Duff

Sanding sealer.

Rob Griswold

Integrity.

Shawn Myers

Gallons. Give me my gallons of stain back.

Ron Teljeur

Ready-made corner blocks and black line inlay for top nail floors. Now you need to make them.

Keith Elberson

Wood floor cement.

Woodman Flooring

The famous Plum Line stamp on the back of materials. 😥 Plumly Flooring of Winchester, Va., milled some excellent stuff. A lack of people wanting to work the mill combined with the hard road path of being a small, local business, then the 2008 crash and so on. Miss the product and miss the people! Floors by Dennis remembers! RIP Plumly.

Cory Schubert

Woodline golden stain.

Timothy Winzell

Benwood Paste Wood Filler.

Paul Alexander

Work ethic.

Steven Triplett Jr.

Stanley 1½-inch scraper.

Chris Hodges

Using the hard plate.

iSandNewYork LLC Official Page

My knees. 😂😂😂

Damien

Warner scrapers.

cbhardwoodflooring

Basic Coatings oil base poly. It laid down so nicely and wasn’t thick.

Andy Eicher

The old Warner metal handle scrapers!

Universal Floors, Inc.

Horse hair buffer heads.

Tim Gill

Square DuraSeal cans. I always thought it was really cool when someone was really good with a cavanaugh machine, though 5/16 is silly nowadays unless you’re adding to an existing floor or doing a repair.

Travis Speight

Is work ethic a product?

Rios Joey

Goop-On filler. 🔥🔥🥴

Ignacio Carreno

DuraSeal sealer.
