Cornelissen Reviews

Poorly managed and unprofessional

I once had a really good view of this shop However not anymore I am a small bespoke paint maker and have decided to use a competitor for my supplies instead This is not lightly done as I am currently having to retest all of my paint recipes Yes the staff are nice but lack knowledge and make so many mistakes e g packing the wrong weight or type of pigment They do not respond to customer feedback e g stop filling pigment bags to the top so that they spill everywhere when opened Neither are package labelled with pigment numbers I know they specialise in historical pigments but so many are extremely hazardous They eschew offering modern alternatives such as pyrroles perylenes and others Yes they stock Pyrrole Scarlet oddly named as Coral Red and erroneously labelled as PR 225 Their hazard designations are unhelpful because they are often inaccurate and aren t based on international standards Ultramarine blue for example is given a dual rating of both relatively harmless and as having a relatively low toxic hazard An obvious misnomer what is a low toxic hazard exactly How can anything be both harmless and toxic Ultramarine blue does not require labelling as hazardous according to EU regulation 1272 2008 Cornelluson should really ask their manufacturers for these classifications and share them with customers Quite worryingly they sell Red Lead Minium without age verification Their website is not optimised for mobile phones As I stated above the staff are nice enough but management needs to take a long hard look at themselves and try to step into the 21st Century in terms of their offering to customers
