Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
Hey guys, I've been using Griot's FCC as my go to compound for most of my 1-step corrections and when I was over halfway through my first 16oz bottle I ordered another. Unfortunately instead of a thick creamy compound it's consistency is more like m205 if not a bit more runny. It's like the body of the compound has just completely disappeared and no matter how much I shake it doesn't change it's consistency. Has anyone else experienced this with FCC? I am extremely anal about keeping all of my polishes and compounds inside and I ordered this when the weather was beautiful so I don't think it was exposed to extreme heat/cold.

Does it still work the same?

Re: Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
I got a bottle of FCC just last week. I didn't check it until now but it's pretty thick. Nothing like M205.

no, lots of sling and much shorter work time to the point that I can barely see it on the panel I'm working

Re: Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
I still have some of my first bottle and it is EXTREMELY thick, I just called Griot's and they want me to send it in which I understand but I just bought it from AG a few weeks ago and now I'll have to pay for shipping to send back a bad product. Very frustrating. I would love to send it in so they can figure out what the problem is, but I would hope they would reimburse my shipping costs. Maybe I should talk to AG instead?

You should definitely talk to where you purchased it from.

Re: Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
Just for the sake of making sure...... did you shake it well?
When left to sit, FCC (and most other products) will separate and therefore will seem quite thin. I buy FCC by the gallon, and you have to shake it very well before distributing to smaller bottles or else it is pretty runny. It has always worked the same for us though.

Re: Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
I've never used that product, but the one on the left is the one that doesn't look right to me. I don't think it should "stand up by itself". Reminds me of my 12 year old bottles of SSR that have dried out to the point where they do that, but they weren't like that when they were fresh.
And as Zach says, particularly with compounds, there's a lot of solids that can settle out over time and may need a lot of shaking to recombine...that is a nice feature of having clear bottles is a lot of times it can make it easier to see if they are not mixed up.

Re: Bad bottle of Fast Correcting Cream
Every bottle I've ever had of FCC, which is only a few, has been liquidy. It hasnever been a thicker cream like the less aggressive polishes in the BOSS line, or picture you posted. I figured that was normal after using their older polishes that were also very liquidy. If it's supposed to be more of a cream, maybe there's a separation issue? Possibly due to heat?
