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?

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.

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

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.

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

Post by: james roffey on April 09, 2012, 08:57:03 pm: 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
Title: Re: best encap
Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on April 09, 2012, 09:12:27 pm: 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.

Post by: Simon Gerrard on April 11, 2012, 07:49:12 am: 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)
