Stock up on Citrus Solvents......

[Shawn Forsythe]

Right away. Prices are slated to soar. It always does, when orange crops take a hit.
If you are using a "cheap" one, chances are that you won't see such a hard hit, since the cheap stuff has little actual delimonene (just fragrance).

I'm surprised they can't control the spread by now. Didn't they say this is the second year?

 

[GCCLee]

This is why it pays to play w more than one flavor : )



Do half of ya remember how to actually spot, lol

BEST smell good on the market is called "Good Stuff" made by Genie Care

 

[Desk Jockey]

I remember that stuff. A bubble gum sort of fragrance. Wasn't it a solvent to be sprayed?

 

[Larry Cobb]

It is true.

We are recommending a switch to our POG.

Works quicker on most spots AND

Less Expensive.

Will you raise the price of Powermax?

 

[hogjowl]

No. He'll just increase the dilution ratio on the label to 16 oz/gal.

Oh that really grinds my gears!

There are lots of other plant terpenes we can use. Lavender, rose, pine, mint, melaluca, eucalyptus, are excellent solvent spotters with properties very similar to D'Limonene. This is to say nothing of using Amyl or Butyl Acetate (banana oil) or even natural gum turpentine.

Aromatic terpenoids are very wide spread in the plant kingdom. Lots of options.

might be, but where are the gel products with those ingredients.
Time to call my Zep rep and buy a case of Orangel. POG might work well but it needs to be a gel, not a liquid

I do not believe in "Gel" products.

They don't penetrate the "fiber bundle" of carpets.

They were only developed to prevent delamination with "very slow evaporating citrus solvents".

Faster evaporating solvents like Dynachem POG, are far less likely to delaminate carpet.

P.S. PowerMax pricing will not be changed with current d'Limonene pricing (4/20/14)

I don't know Larry....I didn't have much luck with your POG in fact I found it to perform poorly.......especially compared to "gels" like the absolute f'n gold standard this day and age...Pro Solve.........or more in line with the topic hel-gel


you do know that you can help a gel "penetrate" right? I think its actually one of the points.....................it goes where you put it.............not immediately to the backing...............


Slow evaporating solvent? How long does it take yours to work?

love the original powermax though


and you really should believe in gels......having bought them I can attest to their existence....and I've seen the penetrate the fiber bundle.......and I witnessed them removing paint oil and grease where dynachem pog didn't do shit. What does POG stand for again?



in my opinion....ymmv

 

[WillS]

I wonder if this will increase the cost for HOST Micro-sponges...

A good POG will dissolve a paint stain in half the time of a citrus solvent.

If you wait the same amount of time, the POG active solvents will have evaporated away.

I would try extracting quicker.

Interesting ... I'm a just now first time user of Larry's POG product. I like it ok. It seems to work fine.

In that case Ron, give Dave Lupyan at Scot Labs a call and try the Scots Tuff Citrus boost. It's a gel, it rinses well and it encapsulates too. Thats a hat trick.

[Steve Lawrence]

Been using Larry's POG for years. Works well for us.

 

[GeeeAus]

if paint removal is the issue I find I get instant removal with Shellite.

[Ron Werner]

When I want to dissolve paint I apply the gel, then spray a volatile solvent, ie Alsolv into the gel. Orangel rinses well, may not be an encapsulant, but its the best gel that I've tried over the years.
Haven't tried Scots, just tried to look it up on their website and can't find it. Don't know why companies hide products.

Isn't POG a NONvolatile solvent?

 

[GeeeAus]

Here you go Ron.

Ron;

All-Solv or our Vandalism Remover are better paint removers than any "orange gel" (the smell is worse though) .

Our Dynachem POG is a mixture of Volatile solvents, and smells better than the All-Solv or Vandalism Remover.

Old school POG's were nonvolatile.
