Film Cleaner?

[FastFilms]

I recently called Kodak to order some more lubricated movie film cleaner and I was told that it has been discontinued. I'm almost out of the cleaner. Does anyone know a good subsitute?

The people at Urbanski film supply are exremely nice. I would like to try Ecco but it costs a little more. Filmrenew is cheaper and works very well, but is slow drying. Give them a call today. Whoops, they're closed till the 20th.

Don't you love the way Kodak discontinues a product but doesn't offer a replacement?

Luckily there are substitutes:
Try the Ecco 1500 film cleaner/lubricant. You can get it (or other cleaners) through Urbanski

There are at least two other kinds not listed here; one is film guard made by the moderator of a film collector forum here: http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/
But, I don't know how to purchase it.

This must not be my day.

The guy whose product I just plugged (FilmGuard) just sent me a nasty e-mail and kicked me off his message board!

I have no idea what terrible crime I've committed but who knows? Maybe I didn't rave about his product (which I haven't even had the chance to try out) or misspelled it or didn't perform some sort of unmentionable Super-8 ritual...filmmakers these days...

Oh well...can't win 'em all...

The Ecco 1500 is not expensive. Around $20.00 for a bottle that will last you months, maybe years.

The FilmGuard stuff is available through dealers on this page. Looks intriguing:
