What am I missing here? Is this comparison at all valid?

Vactra 1, 2 and 4 have tackifiers that help it stay adhered to the ways.

From what I've been told Vactra 4 is for vertical column machines.


Do you happen to know what is the chemical nature of the said tackifiers? It
might help when determining what is the nearest equivalent of Vactra
locally. It is not immediately relevant but might become so in the New year.


One thinks that molassas is a major component. I spelled about a quarter
ounce of Vactra 2 today..and it took about 5 minutes and a dozen really
good spritzs of WD40 to get it off the area Im going to be painting
tommorow.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the
means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not
making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin
Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
