I use it all the time on Edge prints. Works great.

Straight out of the can, it's tough to work with, especially this time of year.

We have it in quart cans and we have a separate cans cut to 50%, 35%, 25% and 10%.

If the area isn't too large [less than a 4' x 8'] we generally will give a dry coat or two of frog juice from a rattle can. Let that sit for an hour or so, then roll the liquid on.

We also use the ClearShield products, but personally, I always thought they turned a little too milky for my liking.

It flakes and yellows. It melts magnetic material. .. I have no use for it. I have a can purchased 7 yrs. ago never opened and another can 1/4 gone.
I have no idea how people can make it work.

 

[J Hill Designs]

I use it on thermal prints, and clearshield on solvent prints

Thanks for the replies, what scenario would you use it versus standard lamination, I have been thinking about trying it. Would you offer it as an option to standard lamination at a lower cost?

 

[Techman]

Nope, No reason to use it. There are better liquid lams out there.
No,
I would use floor wax before I would use that stuff again.

we use it on inkjet canvases off of the canon. we tried several options and it came out ahead (despite me being unimpressed by the very unprofessional marketing of lime green labels and being called "frog juice".) we thin it to about 1:1 to 2:1 naptha and it's pretty much impossible to spray a piece badly because the material wets out so evenly.

Frog Juice ... Do yourself a huge favor and toss it in the dumpster immediately.
