It was my understanding that they have gone under. I do not want to speak out of turn if they are still up and running. Mud Hole still lists the product in their catalog. Maybe you should give them a call.

The company is alive and doing well. I also stock the Diamond II in the 4 and 8 oz. kits, if interested just send me an e-mail. Look for their link, Diamond II , on the sponsors section to be activated very soon.

Are we talking about DiamondITE or Diamond II? I do not believe these are the same product.

They are two different companies. Swifty Mfg makes the Diamonite and Gene Bullard makes Diamond II. Not sure if Swifty's is out of business or not but have not heard much from them lately.

You are absolutely correct- I wasn't thinking- they are 2 different companies. That's what happens sometimes when names are so close.
Sorry for the confusion. But I do have the Diamond II, not Diamondite.

BTW, I just used up an 8oz kit of the Diamond II epoxy and I was very pleased with it. If anyone has been thinking about trying another finish product give the "Bullard" Diamond II a go.

Last I heard Swifty is no more.
