I used a gallon one day on large commercial job and if I smell it ever again I'll get ill. It cleans well but by the end of the day that's all I could smell. In my opinion it smells alot (if not exactly) like VacAway ENC DS.
I only used it when there weren't any customers walking around in smelling range.
I used a gallon of the matrix ds encap and thought it was ok. I like that it is approved for wool(not that I plan on encapping wool anytime soon lol) anyway its good but I say that releasit remains the champ of encap in my book. I hear lots of good stuff about vacaway hot knife encap juice , it seemed a bit pricey.
I use the Cimex on Commercial jobs and my juice of choice is Releasit.
ENC does the job just personally I don't care for the smell particularlly after using a whole gallon in a day.
I know some have problems with Releasit when it's run thru a sprayer and have cough problems but hasen't been a problem for me, normally don't run mine thru a sprayer unless I puy down some punch as an added boost.
Jon Don tried to copy the formula but was found out and well thats all that can be said legally according to the instructors. However, after trying the stuff, I wasn't as impressed as Releasit. But most importantly, the stuff did not crystalize for me in my sample like Releasit or shatter from Vacaway did. That right there kind of made me leary of the stuff. I was my encap product to actualy crystalize.
Tried it on 2 jobs today. Seems to have cleaned ok. Wish it had a little more of a detergency feel to it though. I need to test a bit more, doesn't seem like the recommended 4 oz to a gallon is enough.
