Some will say the same,

Other WILL want 4 times the rate as they cant trad to save their lives.

My advice

1.5 times the rate of outside or double if you can and get them to CLEAR EVERY SILL!

Best bit of advice I got from CIU member (can't remember who)

Take a spray bottle filled with solution from your bucket - spray on applicator when it starts to dry out - knocks off 10 mins per hour I reckon.






For the WFP guys I'd suggest turning your flow down to less than 20 when inside  ;D ;D ;D

Might have been me, we don't carry a bucket around, we have self made holders on the ladders for a bottle with solution. Wet applicator as and when needed. Monsoon holds enough for an average 3 bed semi. Dip into bucket on return to van. Got the idea a few years back from a vid on YouTube.
Had some really good tips like that on here from Daz and that gay bloke, Matt Bateman I think his name is.

I use an old Fairy bottle but stick it in a pouch. I sometimes put some solution in my Boab but you'd have to be careful indoors.

Thanks for the replies....had a nice job yesterday wfp outside and trad inside thought take about 2-2.5 hrs (big farmhouse with office and rental property) in the end took 3.5 but I had already added on bit extra and thankfully I did as it ended up just over my hourly rate anyway.

Thanks again blokes!
