Same here, by accident really tho. I just ordered my first batch a while ago and didnt realised it came in different strengths. But i understand that this is the highest concentration which can be purchased on this level. Which is brill, start at strongest so i can dilute to whatever strength i require. I order in 25ltrs as and when needed not in bulk. My second barrel has just come today. Its great stuff

Just used 15% SH neat. No wetting the slabs beforehand and no rinsing it off afterwards either as they have never been cleaned in 50 odd years. Used a window cleaner bucket and slapped it on with a truck brush... YEHAA! Job done ;D ;D

That's ideal.

It's good to know I brought the right stuff. I got around 15 5l of black wash to use yet, this one job may need the strong stuff, but will try black wash at 50/50
