This commercial lark....perhaps I need a leason in time management and pricing cause I dont think iam in the right ball park.

 are you underpricing the jobs simon or not having the right equipment, if you are trying to cover a really large area with low pressure steam then you will definately struggle. What surface are you removing the gum from and what problems are occurring that is making it take longer than you thought it would.

[Jettaway]

Was it steam So? I thought you'd use high pressure hot water?

[Simon@Pristine Pathways]

High pressure hot, twin set up. 2 of us on it for 5 hours.
Paving stones were easy the block paving was a pain clay block really old as we were cleaning it seemed more was appearing.
I think because it was a first using the set up.
It was a lot quicker than the low pressure steam I borrowed of you Trevor that was an experience not to be repeated.
Any way did 3/4 of the job back next week to finish then might get paid!

[Jettaway]

Gonna say, steam would take forever.

Out of interest, did you use hot water when using fsc or just use hot with the lance to gum?

Hot on both fsc and lances

what size of nozzle you using Simon when i have two guns running at 10 litre a minute each and at 200bar pressure i find an 03 nozzle with a 15 degree angle works best

Do you not need steam for gum...?

Do you not need steam for gum...?

If you pressure wash gum you need hot water and with steam you need the heat and a chemical - I would have thought you would have covered this on a course

No never done gum cleaning/dont ever want to do...could not think of anything more boring.Why do you need chemical with the steam.,,,because there is no flow?
