Title: Would this work

I was just reading the same old threads and was woundering, if you fill your bucket with pure water then just mop it on and leave to dry would it work? I know on wfp u have to rinse, but maybe give it a quck blade down. I recon it could be goos on lead.

I use pure water on the insides, a dash of squeegie off, mop and blade, you get very good results.

Why do you not rate WFP ?

I don't rate it for results compared to trad, but it's certainly usually good enough to get away with, and I'm definately making more money.

i started a thread the other week about applicating with pure water, and didnt get much response other than why not wfp it all.

I been using pure water downstairs for last week applicator and sqeegee with excellent results. Just use a new blade more often and on some days a very small squrt of fairy for slide. Hardly needed to use microfibre to wipe edges, mind you i do dogear too!

I dont rate WFP because its a pain and i belive many people on this site overhype it. For the lucky persone that picks up a round with all good frames and good conditions windoes away from trees then go for it, it would be awsome. For me wfp on tree sap is a joke, wfp on bird muck and egg is also a joke and i also do some grade 2 listed geourgen houses wich end up takeing far to long and the frames just make the job unbarable for time and effort. I am only 23 and can fly up and down a ladder all day so speed wise its not as good as i tought and that was what i bought it for.

I dont realy see the point in using pure water and squeegee it off, you mays well use normal, you know it is about a 3 to 1 on the water you get. So thats a hell of a lot of waste water mate for somthink that does the same job.

Yes.  Occasionally I need to attach a scraper to an Unger pole and have a little scrape around to hasten things.  It's very unusual though.

Dont get me wrong it is ok, but thats all i still do use it but not for simple windoes. if it worked id rather run up a ladder mop the window up and straight back down and leave to dry but i was just woundering what it would dry like?
