I've just started using it
As recommended on the container, had no problems. Using hot water?

ps Our school custard was lovely and smooth, everything was better in the 70's.  ;D

No, dont use liquid f90..........!!!!!

Use powdered f90,  mix it in an old f90 busket (with no  indents in the base of the bucket to trap product in),
add the desired amount and then the hot water and use a whisk to give it a damn good whisking!!!!!!
If you are unsure whether there are lumps/bits still there, pour it through a sieve into your tank and/or
sprayer, depending how you are using it!!!!!

  Steve i find the liquid to be not as good and to be too bloody foamy!!!!!

I mix while filling the bucket then just give it a stir afterward, no problems.

The liquid isn't buffered so watch the pH
