First, take "R" and mix a little "A", "P", "I", and "D" together. Then pour in some "T", a little more "A", and a good dose of "C".

Shake well. Use liberally.

For cold days, mix in some "II".

What Glenn is saying...why bother mixing your own, when RapidTac works so well?

I used to make my own, until I finally tried RapidTac....even smells better!

I cant add anything to the above. Just that it works great, and once you use it, you'll see for yourself.

Just wait till you use rapid remover in front of a trucker who scratched his truck trying to remove the adhesive left from some lettering he just removed. Box blades do not remove left behind adhesive very well. But box blades will remove fancy paint real good. I heard truckers could cuzz , but this guy gave me a lesson in combination cuzzing.
There was lots of adhesive and rapid remover had it almost dripping off. I loved it.
I won't tell you how much I charged for the job. (plenty) But the trucker was mad when he saw the bill. Not because i cleaned it so easy, but because he felt so stupid for not comming to me first..

I'd say Rapid Tac with one cautionary note: if using around 3 o'clock in the afternoon it could incite cravings for French Vanilla Cappaccino - be careful not to drink the Rapid Tac by mistake! [Eek!]

Make sure you get your mailing info off to Roger so he can send you samples.

Hopefully everyone dosn't take this the wrong way.

Dollar waitin on a dime, an old sayin I heard somewhere, but it means (in my opinion) when you are screwing around tryin to save a dime on "materials,labor,tools,advise,help,etc.
You coulda been makin a dollar,doin what you know works best.

I have seen folks spend hours on little things(expence savers) I remember a auto dealer(large one in Ca.)The owner was so peranoid about the employees "steeling from him" he could be seen at times hiddin behind cars in the back parking lot with his binoculars.

He made it a co. plicy, when you need sand paper or maskin tape, you got the grocery store basket, went to the parts dept. and SIGNED OUT on a sheet or two/roll or two whatever!!
Guess how we got the grocery basket? he stole it from next door.

Point is ;
We were gettin paid 16.00 an hour to walk down to get the tape /sandpaper, (probably used up 15 20 minutes a couple or three times a day, you do the math, pretty expencive policy!!!!

Hi Linda, I know you're relatively new here, are you surprised at the responses? Roger has made converts of most of us. Take him up on the free sample offer and see for yourself if you don't agree that Radiptac is a superior product. Before Roger prooved it to me, I was using regular old dish soap in water. The only other additive that made some improvement in a home brew was a little isopropyl alcohol from the drug store (helped the water evaporate faster). In a bind I have even used Windex, but I'm certainly NOT recommending that. The real thing blows away any substitute, and the cost is negligible.
