Request Molotow to reintroduce original paint formula for wood artists
The Issue
For the past seven years, Molotow paint has been a cornerstone in my craft, offering an unrivaled finish that no other brand could match. As a wood artist, I rely on the buttery smooth application and clean finish of the original formula to bring my creations to life. This paint formula has been integral not just to my business but to thousands of other makers and artisans who depend on these unique quality attributes.
Recently, however, Molotow altered their paint formula. While the new iteration might work well for graffiti artists, it falls short for woodworkers and makers like myself. The texture left by the new formula is gritty and inconsistent, stripping away the fine, smooth finish that once characterized our work. The change has put our businesses at risk, forcing us to seek other solutions that are simply not available.
It's important to note that we are not asking Molotow to abandon their new formula. Our plea is simple: provide makers the option to choose. We request Molotow to offer a separate line available in the original formula, dedicated to wood artists. This would allow us to continue creating without compromising the quality that has become synonymous with Molotow's name.
The impact of this change is widespread. It is not just about one business or one artisan—it affects an entire community of creators who have trusted and relied on Molotow's paint for years. Many of us have built our techniques around this specific finish, and our livelihoods depend on it.
While we appreciate innovation and understand the need for progress, it's crucial to preserve the elements that have built a brand’s reputation among diverse user groups. Offering both formulas would ensure that Molotow remains a trusted, universal partner for all artists, regardless of their medium.
Please sign this petition to urge Molotow to consider our request and to continue supporting wood artists and makers who have long been a part of their community. Your support can make a difference for thousands of makers striving to maintain the quality and integrity of their work.
