Jim,

I had a similar experience. I had bought one of his print flatteners which
at the time was made of plywood. After a few uses, one side came lose a bit.
When I called they were adament that I return it right away and in a very
short time I received a hefty replacement beautiful crafted from 3/8" Lexan.

Fred really stood behind his stuff.
