Author Topic: Film Guard.. Liquid Magic Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 08-18-2012 04:49 AM                        Even in the declining days of film projection at our drive-in, Film Guard retains an essential place in the booth. Tonight, I tried to load my "Expendables 2" disks into my DTS players, only to be told that something was wrong with them. A close look revealed what looked like scuff marks on part of the outside. Nothing to be lost by trying, so a little Film Guard on a cloth, rubbed into the scuffs and... presto! working disks. Someone on this forum once suggested that Film Guard must have medicinal qualities. Maybe an exaggeration, but not by much! Now... where can you spray this stuff into your digital projector and make things better?.....  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 08-18-2012 08:31 AM                     I kept the FilmGuard and the Kelmar cleaners ready to go until the very end. Last show, I ran FG on the last showing of Hope Springs on 35mm. I was crying. I admit that. Then, I broke down the print.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-19-2012 06:11 PM                     Got a noisy 'muffin fan' in your DCP unit? Pull the end sticker off to expose the bearing. Put a drop of FG on that bearing and noise is gone. Got a wasp nest under the eve of your building? Zap it with FG and the stuff kills wasps dead. Good for everything else that needs some light lubing around your location. Stuff is not going away that quickly. Still is your best friend to have around.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

I'm only 55 at this time, though. And Yes, Phil liked to pick on me when he called about being drunk on FG, again....  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 04-03-2016 08:02 PM                 It has been 1317 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged
