Those of you asking Roger for Rapid Samples should either wait til Spring, or let him know if you live in a cold climate.

I received my samples this week, and I sat the box on my table for a while as I was finishing a project. After about a half hour, I returned to find the bottom of the box all soggy. The Rapid Clear had a label that said, "Do Not Freeze", but evidentally Old Man Winter can't read. The bottom of the bottle had been pushed off by the freezing liquid. I placed the bottle in a pan, but as it thawed, it evaporated.

I am NOT complaining, or whining. I am pleased with most of the products, but I think it is a bit of a waste to ask Roger to send samples that can not get to us intact.

Thanks Roger, and Jeff for the samples. They WILL wind up making you some money, as I WILL be ordering some of your products. I just kinda hate it that the Rapid Clear was wasted.

What is the Rapid Clear?
I use the prep and the tac ... know of the remover but haven't heard of the clear.

Rapid Clear is a product for polishing acrylics.

I havent had the chance to try it out yet but Im sure I will when I get into more acrylic work.

Rapid-Clear really works great on acrylic plastics. I also find it works good for polishing over applied vinyl to remove any squeegee marks that might have occured. (Not that I ever scratch the vinyl when I re-squeegee) Works especially good on vehicle lettering.

Another use I have found for the stuff that isn't on Roger's list, but has worked for me, is to use it on glass if you want to do a temporary vinyl application.

Hi Don, same thing happened to me. The Rapid Clear was totally busted out in the bottom of the bottle. It figures, that was the one rapid product i hadn't tried. We have been setting cold and snow for December here in the beautiful state of Michigan, winter wonderland. Take note Roger, do you have antifreeze for your RC? lol

Hey Roger

If ya like rum and ginger ale, you gotta try the mix they make in Australia.

I don't remember the actual name for the mixed product (it's available pre-mixed) but it's Bundaberg rum with Bundaberg Ginger Beer. MAN is that stuff good!

Maybe my Bundaberg connections can smuggle some out to us and label it as anti-freeze? :-)

Roger, Im not picky but the Royal Crown or Tequila sounds fine to me. Since were freezzzzzzing here in Michigan, I'll start without you and drink a toast to your problem and maybe that way I'll survive the snow and cold records we have established for michigan this year. Actually its very pretty and the neighborhood kids are having a blast on the piled up snow we have in the yard.

Roger,

My bottom of Rapid Tac hasn't frozen off. Could you please tell me if it is still good to use, being stored out in the garage at below freezing temps? I have a full gallon.
thanks, Deb

Deb, if it freezes "throw it away"
But this is not the case for our application fluids or remover, just Rapid Clear.
