FTM Grip Traction compound

[DavidB1126]

If anyone has any information about these I would like it. I know it's a Maryland based company. But it's a old brand and I don't see much about it. Trying to figure out what green compound is. I have red and I know what it is (via live RC article)

Or maybe it was one of the colors listed in the article and maybe it just got discolored?

Wondering if traction compound can expire?

Or maybe someone put Simple Green in an empty bottle?

Maybe

Simple green can be used as a traction compound too.

Simply green of them to put unmarked liquids in a marked bottle.

I also have red, but it isn't with a spray bottle top.

Red softens up the rubber so I put it on my street tires and I'm letting them dry in the tire bags.

From Facebook, the CEO passed away in 2019..

I got some special potions on my hands. hehehehe

Or they mixed yellow & blue making green. Wouldn't think it goes bad. It's a chemical compound. Won't separate over time. I've read some folks mix up their own traction compound. Not sure if Simple Green is a go to. It's also a compound, not a solvent.

Well, back in the day, Team Kinwald's Buggy Grip 2 was my introduction to traction compound. My last bottle purchased has since evaporated a lot, but the stuff looks like straight up Simple Green, and smells like Acetone. Simple Green was used as a very mild tire softener. I would suspect an additional "additive"/oil was used in Buggy Grip. The other traction voodoo spray stuff pictured smells of Acetone/petroleum product mixture.
