Do not over apply! Otherwise you'll get streaks in your vision. Don't you read the instructions?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-14-2009 07:50 PM                     How can you read instructions when the room won't stop spinning? Stupid room!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Worthing Master Film Handler Posts: 384 From: Hereford, UK Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-15-2009 07:26 AM                     It sounds to me like Filmguard is Medicinal compound  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

They just don't make good television like that anymore.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-15-2009 05:05 PM                     Well, ever since they started making FilmGuard out of nail polish, everything has gone down hill!  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-15-2009 05:13 PM                     Hmmmm, there's a link there somewhere...Lily the Pink and nail polish. Is that the Film Guard colour of choice?  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Worthing Master Film Handler Posts: 384 From: Hereford, UK Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-16-2009 10:20 AM                     quote: John Wilson See?

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-16-2009 08:00 PM                     Hey, Skipper and Flippy were both quality shows...the fact that they had the same scripts may have had something to do with it. Skippy Skippy had it all over Flipper though for me...the Skippy programme had a helicopter.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-16-2009 09:35 PM                     But Flipper had an airboat! Much cooler than any old helicopter!  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 04-17-2009 02:11 AM                     Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh airboats.....  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 04-21-2009 01:01 PM                        People around my theatre used to swear that I drank the film guard. Mainly because I usually smelled of the stuff, and would go through it alot. I'm sure it'd give you some sort of buzz or something, but nor for me. Though I do take joy in finding alternative uses for it. Like adhesive remover. Good stuff, esp since it's both a cleaner and a lube. Some other stuff I used to use on my trap and gate bands at a previous job only was a lube evidently. I'd always have to clean them prior. Maybe FG needs a cherry flavor?  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-21-2009 02:45 PM                     quote: Charles Greenlee Some other stuff I used to use on my trap and gate bands at a previous job only was a lube evidently. Would that have been XeKote? Made by Xetron? It worked great as a trap band lube but sucked when used with a media cleaner. Cherry FilmGuard? I'd buy it!!  |  IP: Logged
