Jetting an applicator?
« on: July 14, 2013, 10:46:00 am »
I struggled to clean some wooden soffits last week using a flocked brush and g101 I had to resort to scrubbing with a wet applicator. It's got me thinking that maybe it could be a quicker way to clean them?

Anyone tried it? I guess weight might be an issue.

Easy enough to do - could zip tie a fan jet to the handle I would imagine.

tried this a few years back and it worked very well as the applicator has 100% contact with the glass. I had an 'L' bracket on the gooseneck with a single fan jet. The only drawback was putting the pole up with it on the end cos of stones and grit sticking to it, fine for low level stuff though.

Just about to do some with wooden fascia & sofitt and I told them it wont come up perfect as the paintwork is usually stained and the only remedy is painting it . Mike

i also wouldnt bother with wooden ones.they dont come up well like UPVC.a flocked brush is too soft as well.also a lot have  oxidised paint and drip milky white and then the paint starts coming off and sticking in your brush!AVOID!if possible!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!
