Please use this form to publicly post a question or an RFQ, starting a new thread. Please realize that we have 60,0000 existing threads, and if your posting is highly duplicative, readers may ignore it. So may we suggest that you try submitting the proposed title of your letter to the search engine, and consider appending your inquiry to an existing thread rather than starting a new one? Thanks!

We apologize but we get more inquiries than we can even acknowledge. Sorry, sorry, sorry! Due to time constraints, we discard any that lack your FULL NAME & TOWN or an e-mail address that works the 1st time, or is ABSTRACT or highly repetitive of threads already posted. We give priority to industrial postings, but publish as many student, hobbyist & amateur questions as we possibly can.

Please remember that this is an on-line professional journal, where we must edit postings for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation accordingly -- if your posting resembles a text message between teenyboppers, time pressure pushes it to the end of the queue. Sorry!

 

Suggested title for my posting:

(this should be a good "headline" and a good Google "search term")

Text of my question or inquiry:

Please review our editorial standards, especially about describing YOUR SITUATION.
Your question is addressed to a community of people, so please introduce yourself, telling us why the question interests you. You need not include your name or contact info in this block because you'll supply it below. Thanks.

If you have photos that you would like to display with this inquiry, please attach them to an e-mail to finishing.com

My First Name: My Last Name:	<-- This is a place of Camaraderie for people enthused about finishing. We need your full name to not confuse your postings with those of other readers! If your company doesn't allow that, please retain a Consultant for a confidential evaluation. If it is apparent that you are a minor, we will delete your last name from the posting. We receive a thousand spams and hacking attempts per day through this form, and we immediately filter (and do not even see) postings lacking full names. Sorry.
CITY, State, & Country:	<--Like a letters-to-the-editor column in a newspaper, we must discard inquiries that do not include your city.
E-mail address:	<- We usually do not publish your e-mail address. See our Privacy policy. If you use a 'suspect mail auto-responder', please set it to accept mail from mooney@finishing.com as we can't post your message if we can't communicate with you
My involvement (optional):	<-- (Hobbyist, car restorer, plating shop employee, student, architect, buyer, product designer, regulator, gunsmith, etc.)
Additional info about me (optional): Company: Website if applicable: Phone: Fax: Street/mailing address:	<- This information isn't published, but is available to the supporting advertisers who offer that service; it can be important towards getting responses to an RFQ if you use a free e-mail address because many companies won't respond to an essentially anonymous inquiry

This posting is:

an RFQ (your primary interest is to find a supplier for a product or service).

an INDUSTRIAL question (you are an OEM, engineer, specifier, industrial user of metal finishing services, jobshop employee, purchasing agent, regulator, consultant, etc., with a finishing question).

a RESEARCH question (you are a university student, post doc, or employed in research)

an AMATEUR or non-industrial finishing question (you are a hobbyist, artist, car buff, gun collector, handyman, homemaker, etc.)

a STUDENT question (you are in Kindergarden thru high school; your letter should include what grade you are in, so any answers offered can try to be age-appropriate and education-appropriate.

I consent for this inquiry to be published at www.finishing.com, with my name, city/state/country and other info I have provided. (We usually delete last names of minors).
