So why aren't you blasting the bike manufacturer too? By your logic, you'd think that a maker of bikes worth thousands of dollars would be responsible for using paint that does not react to rubberized coatings.

OTOH, you did not use the Flashstand for it's intended purpose, yet blame Topeak for your mis-use?

Sorry that you marred your finish, but at some point you need to take some responsibility for your actions.
