wet or dry?

[Lester]

Best to apply Apple Sauce to a wet or dry roof, or does it matter. Asphalt shingles
Thanks

 

[Chris Francis]

would say apple it dry if appled wet might slow things down by creating shield between roof apple sauce.

 

[Lester]

that's kinda what I thought Chris, the mix really wouldn't soak into a wet roof. Thanks

 

[Chris Francis]

what kind setup do you have Lester I been looking at 3.5 gallon shurflo pump at the tractor supply store near me

 

[Russ Spence]

dry dry dry always

delavan 5800 115v seems to be working fine for now. I could use some more distance probably.

 

[Chris Francis]

what size tip are you spray

 

[Russ Spence]

we use the 0030, 1530, 2530 and 4030 with the delavan 5800 and with the fatboy we use 0040, 0540, 1540 and 2540

 

[Chris Francis]

Russ are you using pressure washer wand gun or are you using one that Don has his website

What kind of distance do you get with the delavan?

Dry roof Lester. If it is wet it will take longer to come clean.

Distance is all about the Hose diameter.....

My Fatboy constantly cycles on and off with 40s. I had to go to 1/4" hose barb to get it to stop.

 

[Scott D.]

You can bump up to 50's and 60's?

 

[Peerless]

love a hose barb, shoots well been using one for years.

When you drop it or abuse it and the barb becomes jagged at the end and the spray pattern becomes fookackid, run a steel file over it and sharpen it up works like new!

Have brass ones and plastic....

Russ are you using pressure washer wand gun or are you using one that Don has his website

I build mine with a 1/2 in ball valve, I have a couple of different ones with a 1/2 in PVC wand attached but most times I use just the ball valve with a quick coupler and the tips

Mine does not cycle at all with 40's

 

[Scott D.]

Mine doesnt either when the ball valve is wide open....

 

[Thad]

Sounds like something is up, then.

 

[Scott D.]

You can adjust the pressure slightly if you need to. A slight turn will make a big difference.

I have used this set up with Russ. It works great and gets you pleanty of distance with the Fat Boy ( fat boy being the pump, not Russ....LOL)

What would you say Russ, this shoot 30 ft at least?
I really like this set up!
