The other day my wife drop her red lipstick on a new brown/tan area rug. We were heading out, all I had right there was some encap. Made it 50% better. My 14 yo son said I needed the green stuff? I'm like ? Can't remember what that is. Then he reminded me of a job he asst'd on. Some red and blue spots he treated with "deep green". Remember that stuff? Bamm, it came right out(the lipstick). Now it happened on Sunday, so its been sitting on the fiber for a few day. Noooo problem.
Gotta use it more often;)

It really was good stuff. I was going to order more, except I didn't like the way it would melt when on the truck during the Summer....turned a little too liquid. It still worked, but I didn't like using it that way. If it came in a tube instead, it would be a more practical product.

I still have a can I think in the basement....I should go look.

Yeah that stuff is good better that fels and it wont leave a visible residue. I liked it better when I heated it up and melted it down and put in a flip cap bottle. I thing you don't waste it that was and its easier to apply

The flip-cap bottle is a good idea as well.

Yeah cause if you put in on with a rag or a small brush you invariably pit on to much and that stuff is more expensive than fels naphtha lol

Yeah I have it in the van and tool box for my portable machine, I use it more when I do portable job cause I usually forget to bring solvents and that's the only one that's available, that stuff works good, Dave gave me a few jars last year.
