Years ago there was a company based in Georgia, USA and it was named Filmagic.
Filmagic produced a liquid lubricant, along with silicone wipe cloths that were known as Surfaset.
Is there anyone that has background information regarding this product, and the contents? I was wondering if it was truly silicone and if it was, would it have had a detrimental effect on film.
I used it years ago and found that aside from the application instructions that stated that it should be used moderately, instead if it was used sparingly I was able to achieve better results. After a liquid topical condition it was recommended to use the matching silicone impregnated wipe cloths to remove and buff the film of excess lubricant.
If it is silicone, is that detrimental to film? Does anyone know if in the long term if the Surfaset would not permit the film to breathe and thus causing film breakdown?
I have a small amount left in a bottle and not sure if I should continue to use it?
