Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 05-25-2005 09:26 AM                     As I was using Film-Guard I noticed a familiar smell, It was the Film-Guard, it smells just like the gun cleaner Hoppes No9, did any one else notice this?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-25-2005 10:12 AM                    Shhhhhhh, that's supposed to be a secret  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 05-25-2005 10:52 AM                     Sorry this was supposed to be in the Film-Yak section, could someone either lock it or move it?

All these products are probably nearly the same & made in the same factory, jusr different marketing.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-26-2005 12:34 AM                     Hardly. ...and it smells like bug spray, and gun cleaner and a bazillion other things too...blah, blah, blah.  |  IP: Logged Jason M Miller Master Film Handler Posts: 284 From: Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Registered: Jul 2004 posted 05-27-2005 01:56 AM                     Ah, Film-Guard; The all purpose chemical, no need for those other film cleaners, get Film-Guard and not only clean your film but also clean your gun and kill bugs, but remember do not clean your lenses with it.  |  IP: Logged
