Hi all,
Lion are out of stock of L1272 (46mm Duo Black) and have no date for any future stock.
I have 2 framing jobs here for a customer that I have framed many things in the past with this moulding, so it needs to be the same.
Can anybody help or point me in the right direction please?

I've had to phone customers in the past and tell them about delays, no problem (even upto 4 months delay) but im going to sound like a prat telling him I have no future dates for any of his moulding

Pity it's not the white version L1269 as I have 2 lengths you could have had, if you want to spray them black you could have them.

Thank you for your offer Steve, customer already has rooms full of this moulding so it has to match all the others.

Centrado 8312BK looks similar has a slight grain effect though.

Usually in my experience when a supplier says it's out of stock and they don't know when it will be back in stock means they haven't reordered and have probably discontinued it. If they have ordered it they will have a delivery date for it.

Yeah sadly that centrado mouldings is not going to match the others but thank you for the suggestion
Manufacturer in Spain is moving and production is down, will be more in the future but no date. At least this is what i'm told.

Well if that is the case then it will be available eventually.Your customer will just have to be patient if you cant get any you can't get any.

Frame it differently, and then reframe it later. Win-Win!
