Maybe you can try another approach. This was a route I took for another
project.

This was using tt_news but I expect it would work with products.

1) Add this to a template on the product single page. You will need to
change the table lookup etc.

# get the field data for the current record from 
# the db and put it in a temp object
temp.formaldesc = RECORDS
temp.formaldesc.dontCheckPid = 1
temp.formaldesc.tables = tt_news
temp.formaldesc.source.data = GPvar:tx_ttnews|tt_news
temp.formaldesc.conf.tt_news = TEXT
temp.formaldesc.conf.tt_news.field = bodytext

# write this to the page wrapped in a hidden form field
temp.desc.175 = TEXT
temp.desc.175 < temp.formaldesc
temp.desc.175.wrap = <input type="hidden" name="formalDesc" value="|" />

In my project this field along with others was set into a session variable
and I could then retrieve it anytime I liked elsewhere on the site.
