Brad, are Jack Roe (cs) still distributing film Guard in the U.K.? I want to order some, but I can't find wny mention of it on their web site; I'm sure I've seen it there before.

Yes, Jack Roe is currently the exclusive distributor in the UK.

It's around £28 for a half-litre bottle. We occasionally apply it to archive viewing copies. Does a great job with older and brittle acetate the stuff runs through a projector or telecine far more easily, and with a much steadier picture.

Stephen.

Film Guard is on Jack Roe's site, but you have to really stir the site up and search for it.

I tried emailing them twice about the price but got no reply.

Hope you have better luck on the telephone.
