Where can I get Behlen's products, "brick and mortar style"?

[Bay Area Dave]

I know their stuff can be ordered online, but any chains carry their products (besides Woodcraft--too far from my home)? TIA

Does Behlen's list dealers on the web site?

I'm pretty sure Behlens (AKA Mohawk) moved to the Carolinas in the past few years, but I don't have an address.

I found the Mohawk site and while they have similar product lines I see no mention of Behlen. I also couldn't find Rockhard tabletop finish, but Mohawk looks like an excellent resource. Thanks again, Charlie.

Perhaps they have caller ID. ;-)

The phone number I gave you is registered both to Behlen's and "Mohawk Finishing Products, Inc.". Here's Mohawk's web site:

the past I could find Behlen's web site. I no longer can.

After checking further it looks as if Behlen's was bought out by the RPM Wood Finishing Group. They're the same group that owns Zinsser, Rust-oleum, Bondo, DAP and others.

Dave- If you would have use your tremendous resourcefulness that you touted at me earlier this week, you would have found:

Phone: [phone] - E-mail: [e-mail]

No mention of brick or mortar in their PDF product catalog.

Charlie - They are now owned by RPM and located in Hickory, North Carolina.

good luck Myx

Hickory is next town over from me. That is not a Hickory number, but there is some type of RPM activity in Hickory. Do you know what the deal is? Or is 866 another one of the new 800 numbers. I can't keep up.

By the way, there are a lot of finish companies here, in the heart of furniture manufacturing country.

An interesting, but somber side note. Furniture production is rapidly being moved to China. Predictions of the time period involved vary, but in around

5 years, (or less), there will be little furniture manufacturing being done in the US.

[Charlie Self]

Yes. The Mohawk site shows that they're also owned by RPM. IIRC, RPM also owns the outfit that makes Bullseye shellac...not done with my first coffee yet, so the name isn't coming up.

This is the professional version of Behlen:

A local place may or may not sell to you, but it's work a shot.

They also own Floquil, the best hobby paint ever manufactured!

thanks, Barry. I looked at their list of distributors. The closest one is about an hour's drive or so. I'll call them during the week to see what they carry and if they do retail sales.
