Yes, Erik there was a thread where David Francko chimed in.
The company was sold to, I believe, something called Liquid Fence.
Some people reported the product was brown, mine left blue stains on the palms, so maybe it's a different formula?

Whatever...!
Didn't work for the Naini Tal.

😐

I still have a whole gallon of the stuff. Maybe it gets better with age like a good scotch?

Bill

The whole Freeze-pruf thing is a little off-putting... I bought some, I should have waited. We all got reeled in by the claims (2-9f extra cold protection), but, really if you think about it, that's not all that much extra. I was a little suspicious when it was pointed out that there was no published peer-reviewed paper on the product. Oh well, live and learn.

For the record, I think that the stuff may do what is advertised (2f of extra protection), however, our problem is that we're looking for a miracle product, and this isn't it!

Barb,
I remember that thread. I was wondering is there was post-winter follow-up by folks who had used it. I guess this thread is it.
--Erik

No, this isn't that thread Erik.
But I can't find it.
David Francko posted a reply or two.
Will look for it when time allows.

I'm busy today, too. Maybe over the weekend I'll look for it.
Or threads on other forums.
I didn't buy any; I figured I'd let other folks run the experiment.....

Glad you and somebody else on another forum brought this up-
it reminded me to send in my label for a refund,it cost $40

I tried spraying this on some of the banana leaves this spring when it got chilly-
I would swear that the leaves I sprayed were the only ones damaged.
I still have almost a gallon,so I will try it on a variety of plants this fall/winter and give
it a more thorough test.

Here's the link to the thread on F-Pruf where Francko responded.

Thasnks, Jim!
I'll look for that journal submission he referred to so I can share that when it is published. --Erik

Jim, funny you should mention this:

I would swear that the leaves I sprayed were the only ones damaged.

In my case, it wasn't the ONLY ones damaged, since the bloody thing is now toast.
But some of you may recall that where I sprayed the FP the blue seemed to permanently (until it died) stain the 2 or 3 leaves it landed on.

Again, other folks said the stuff is a brown liquid.
Whatever!!! 😕

Thanks for digging up that link.
Barb

My liquid was white like milk? WTF!

Bill

WHITE?

Guess they've played around with the formula.

Mine smells like donkey &@(($

I will try it again on some of the bananas in fall/some leaves will get sprayed
the others will live 😉 just kidding/or am I/I do want to test this thoroughly
before I use it on the weeds around my house.

That would be great, Jim: you'll end up having dandelions all winter! 😆

That would be great, Jim: you'll end up having dandelions all winter! 😆

Actually,I think it would make a good weed/plant killer! 👿

I'll try some on the clovers this weekend there pretty hard to kill right 😀
