Author Topic: FilmTech FILMGUARD and Kelmar Rene Ferron Film Handler Posts: 52 From: New Brunswick, Canada Registered: Feb 2008 posted 05-27-2008 05:53 PM                     Is there any information as how to use the filmguard with the Kelmar system? I would like to know how much product needs to be applied ? How often do i need to coat a movie ? Once a roll is used can it be re-used ? Any information with pictures maybe would be appreciated.\ Thx Rene F.  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 05-27-2008 05:59 PM                     Rene, Click on the PRODUCTS tab at the top left of the page and click on Film Guard. It's will get you up to date.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-27-2008 06:44 PM                     What happened to the instruction sheet that came with the bottle? What is your specific situation regarding number of cleaners vs. screens in the building? (BTW, if you just do a search this has been discussed dozens of times.)  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-27-2008 07:45 PM                     There are also countless topics on the subject here in the Film Handler's Forum...there was even one just a couple of weeks ago. Do a search for Apply Filmguard and see what turns up.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-27-2008 07:55 PM                        The included sheet is pretty wordy, and most people cannot read. Perhaps we should come up with a new sheet with pictures and captions. More detail can be on the back. I have seen and heard of too many people using FilmTech FILMGUARD in an incorrect manner. It angers me.  |  IP: Logged Rene Ferron Film Handler Posts: 52 From: New Brunswick, Canada Registered: Feb 2008 posted 05-27-2008 08:32 PM                     I think the old projectionist trashed the manual I just need to know how often you have to use it and how to properly apply the filmguard to the roller. Other than that i'm almost sure that I'm doing it right. You guys should make a little video and explain everything, would be really nice  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-27-2008 08:44 PM                     Whenever Joe makes another road trip down to Rockwall and stays for a few days, we will make a few instructional videos. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to shoot and edit them, but Joe is very fast and could take the tapes back to CO and knock it out. Current instruction sheet with simplified instructions. Older instruction sheet with pictures and more detailed instructions.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-28-2008 07:02 PM                     EDIT: Do not drink this product. It will not help your films in any way if used in this manner. EDIT II: Just be glad that you cant see the sprayer on the top of that bottle. Not pretty. WHICH IS WORSE? The above as an avatar, or the one I have now?

The instructions, based on its intended use, are fine. I'm an old pfart, and I had no problems... after I found my reading glasses. These threads are amusing... kind of like the one that discussed all the ways you can thread a projector... up... or down... 870 posts!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
