Author Topic: Filmguard - The Un-authorized Uses Richard Thomas Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Trinidad, CO Registered: Aug 2003 posted 08-16-2003 12:20 PM                     Just for fun. I am on my fourth bottle of this great stuff and my entire film collection is saved and gleaming! I tried it on a LP record I was about to transfer and although an un-authorized use, the results were amazing. Surface noise was reduced to almost zero and the s/n ratio was near perfect; top end still ace. Cleans & renews my reading glasses too. Don't try this at home!  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-16-2003 03:33 PM                        I used to use this stuff on my corn flakes to clean out my bowels! Clean as a whistle now!

I've found a great other use for FilmGuard. I use it on scratched DVDs<rental> and CDs. Just wipe on a very very small amount, like the amount you use on film, and most of the time any skipping problems with the disc will be gone.

FG 'fills in' the indentation. I guess the issue is whether any of the liquid finds its way onto the CD or DVD player's lens and therefore causes problems further down the road by affecting its ability to read the data from the disc.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-16-2003 04:42 PM                        I used it to kill a wasp in the booth once. (mostly the FG immobilized it, so I could smack it with a CD case.)  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-16-2003 05:41 PM                    It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Okay...I admit I got that off the bottle of Mr. Clean ®.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-16-2003 08:50 PM                       Great for indigestion!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-16-2003 11:21 PM                  I use Filmguard with my CinemaTour T-shirts to polish my cars. It even helps remove dents better than the "Ding-King".... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-16-2003 11:59 PM                       Hahahahaa!

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-17-2003 02:34 AM                     Makes a great deodorizer, too! I sprayed some on a paper towel and then put that in my sock drawer.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-17-2003 06:32 AM                  Manny, here's a hot tip for you... After you've worn your socks, WASH them B4 putting them in the drawer. It's amazing how well that works... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 08-17-2003 09:28 AM                     Manny, toss a few of your dirty sox in the washer and add pure FG. Not only will your sox smell somewhat better, they will slip onto your feet easier. An additional bonus, FG can lubricate the seals in your washing machine, and also the pump. Use the whole quart. Brad will be happy. OR JUST DRINK IT. Makes things slide right through...  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-17-2003 01:26 PM                       Oh, this is too funny!  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!
