Thanks

I've read quite a lot on this recently.

So far I've only tried Procaps (Prochem), but have read that Surround is supposed to be a decent product.

The yanks all rave about Releasit, but I haven't found anywhere in this country that stocks it.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using to brush in?

Surround best I have used, which version do you use Geoff? Surround Free seems the most economical.

I met Rick The Encapman last week. Great guy. Brought home samples with me. Found a flyer in my suitcase today when I got home saying my bag had been opened and searched. All those bottles and wires in my case may have looked a little dodgy.

Did they make it through though, Jamie?

I'd love to purchase a bottle if you're flogging them. Or have you got plans to import a container full?

I hope Rick does Release it for UK distribution, you will do well selling it I'm sure.  8)
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I have just a pint bottle of Basic, DS, HyDrOx and Punch which I will trial as I cant be ar$ed doing any proper work first day back tomorow.

I saw a Petri dish containing the latest batch dried out and it is amazingly brittle.

Slightly off topic but I noticed as Jamie revealed earlier this year Amtech are selling their upgraded Eco with the new 6.6 motors perhaps he or John Martin may comment.

Whats the significance of that Jamie? I think it's Punch I fancy having a bash at.

I found Craftex catylyst to be really good but the dilution rates made it too expensive, i have tried M Power fusion 8 both quite good not tried SPM which is supposed to be quite good as well, although not encap but considered good for bonneting.
Encap is a good method but yet to find one that is economic compared to other methods

I must admit that Fusion 8 is a great cleaner for upholstery I thought it ran too expensive for carpet cleaning I have quite a stock of products and solutions for pre spraying carpets that's why I haven't had the chance to try SPM the encap products do fascinate me though I know Rob Meldrum has consistantly used them for years he keeps telling me of a Yorkshire Co that sells one that he uses but I keep forgeting their name.

Used Procaps on a water stain from a Cooler yesterday and it did the jobs no problem.
I don't think there is that much difference one product to another because having tried a variety of products they all seem to get the job done just as well as the next one, either that or I should go to specsavers 8)
