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?
 
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 :cool:🤣

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.
