I will also be VERY pleased to see FG available in smaller bottles.
I had used the stuff for 18 years running 35mm film as well as being a 16mm distributor so every 16mm hire print that came back in went thru the cleaner with FG applied to the pads.
Running a business meant that the FG cost was factored into your overall expenses & was thus affordable PLUS I used to be able to purchase it in Australia from Intec Pacific who ceased stocking it as 35mm film was phased out.
I now have almost 2x 32oz bottles left from the Aussie source as I think I purchased his last remaining stock.
What I would like to see is a dealer in US be willing to supply to hobbyists here in OZ so just maybe the smaller sized bottles @ 16 oz might be more cost effective for hobbyists to purchase & have shipped over by Airmail.
Previously I had bought 2 x 200ml bottles (for mates who did not have facilities to pay for OS transactions) from the UK guy who was decanting the stuff into smaller bottles from the bigger 32 oz size that got Brad so riled up.
However when checking what came it smelt the same as my "genuine" bottle & reacted with film the same doing a super job cleaning & lubricating so I am convinced it was genuine FG just repackaged which is exactly what hobbyists need & CAN afford ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
