Airline prints of optical features were coated in silicone polish to protect and ensure smooth running, as they ran in large cassette holders.
Many features that found their way onto the domestic super 8 scene were airline prints, so maybe that has something to do with it?

I'm not sure, Rob, I think I had the same occured with non airlines prints (a French company calles Les grands films cmassiques released severl interesting titles) but I will look more carefully in the future to see if that could be the explaination.

Got it, thanks guys. I have always used other cleaners of different brands, I always found them good, but no one has ever been very incisive, they cleaned well but not a lot. We'll see how I'll find myself with Filmguard.

Hi Maurice,
The first question is: why?
As has been noted on this thread it will evaporate off naturally given some time (a year or two), but please tell me what happened that makes you want to remove FilmGuard from a print so I can better understand the reasoning and your needs.
