  1. I bought some Spectrafix earlier this year because of the positive reviews I had read. In fact, it’s not as effective as ‘nasty’ sprays and needs far more coats. My main problem is that the pump mechanism is now leaking and not spraying properly and the can is only two thirds empty. Regardless of anything else, this product is expensive so it would be reasonable to expect durable packaging.
