Default Pound of Pinnacle clay is NOT NOT NOT a pound

Yeah so i ordered a pound of pinnacle ultra poly clay to last me a fair while. well when I got it it came like this



scale zero'd out


but then I put it on my small scale and it only comes out to 14.3 oz thats almost 2 oz short, a pretty significant amount IMHO, had it been 15.7 or something like that I would let it go. but i think they need to be aware of my dissapointment I'm not looking for anything for free or anything like that but c'mon almost 2 oz gone, thats enough for a touch up on my car.

That sucks!

Do you have another scale to try just in case? Or have a calibration weight?

I had already calibrated that before opening my mouth, I'm not one to talk down on a company unless I have proof.
