My job - my chemical....

I was thinking some of you might be interested to see kind of what I do at work. This video was made a couple of years ago to showcase the paint stripping product I developed and got a patent on called "Recover." You might even see a quick shot of me in this!

Cool Rico! Oh, looks like the company firewall is keeping me from looking at your video. Guess I'll have to wait until I get home.

Rico · January 14, 2009, 10:47:38 AM

I'll get a Flash version up in a minute too. Maybe you can view that.

Jen · January 14, 2009, 10:55:44 AM

Yes, that worked. Neat Rico. Thanks for posting that. I think I did see you looking rather official in your lab coat...the lab coat that maybe outlawed by your company soon. :)

Wow.. Rico that is some amazing stuff.

Did you create this yourself or was there a team?

Too cool! I saw Rico!

Rico · January 14, 2009, 11:16:08 AM

The chemical is all me. Two patents. The video was professionally done by an ad agency.

Rico, you clever little monkey you. ;D

I bet the director said "Right look at your clip board, nod and write something down, dont look at camera". Great work Rico. I remember about a 13 months ago before i signed up, googleing your name and a Rick Dostie came up saying patent applied for ..... and i thought that has to be Rico. And there we go. We could do with that stuff in our factory.

Very clever stuff (engineering-wise I mean).

I'm not sure about the way the add pushes it directly at the profit line but if you can do that sort of thing with no damage, I guess it's got to have direct value in that way.

Do you get anything personally from all of this? Our company pushes us for patentable ideas but I'm not sure that there's much of a personal incentive.

That was simply awesome. I loved it!

Yeoman Mara · January 14, 2009, 04:33:11 PM

Wow! That's like so cool!

moyer777 · January 14, 2009, 04:34:06 PM

I think you should make a less corrosive compound for toddlers. That would be cool.
