You chaps who make your own brushes - have you found anything better than the Bentley? I've been using a Wilkinsons de-lux which i actually prefer to the Bentley as it seems to have more bristles however, they don't want to stay in long.

Jeff Brimble kindly gave me one of these, it seems like a really nice brush but Im yet to convert it! Luke
-
Yes, i have been wondering about that one.
-
It feels very much like a Tucker, lots of splay and monofilament, Luke

You cant compare a floor brush to a Tucker brush. ::)
-
Sorry to disagree but you can compare them. They are lighter and cheaper. I used to think Tucker where and are the best make out there but they have got left behind in the race for lightness which is more important when working at height.
-
I know this sounds sad but I really like running my hands throught the Addis, it feels really nice. I've actually recently noticed how important splay is, my vikan monofilaments are hard to splay at even 18ft, The bentley/vikan flocked have better cleaning power in my view. Im looking forward to using Jeffs Addis, I may use it instead of the Bentley who knows, afterall Jeff does have alot of wfp experience, more than anybody I know and hes experiemnted with lots of diferent techniques and equipment, Luke

just went on your site Jeff and it says you use hot wash! how you doing that? Luke

Jeff, cant go on the diy site sorry, Luke
-
Jeff, just been to the diy water fed pole forum and its full of filth, whats happened? Luke
needs a script on there to stop it
-
Cant go on that site sorry Jeff, so how you doing the hot wash, was it the thing that gives squirts of hot water? Luke
-
No,
Its an ongoing live blow by blow as it happens,experiment. May not work but hey I am having fun, cheap as chips. ;D
-
do you heat all the water or before the pole? Luke
-
All the water and before the pole.
-
how? sorry will be back in half an hour after dinner!! Luke

thats only the accoubnt activation bit, if you sign up and tell me your name, you will then see the whole site
-
Arrgh dont let him in ;D
-
Not sure I want to sign up with all that Jazz going on! please could you tell me more about the hot water Jeff, Luke
-
Ahh I think your "jazz" means porn, the site gets spammed 24/7 and the spam gets put into the sin bin you have found. Its a spam magnet. rest of site is normal.
-
Sorry if I sound boring but I just dont want to risk it, we had a computer ruined because of "Jazz"!!!!!!
-
Dont blame you, but its safe or I will replace your pc.
-
thanks for the offer Jeff, but this computer was pricey. Its used for my dads other work so I cant risk it. I can easily reset a computer and restore all the old files with Forensic Linux Os's but its so much hastle! Even though I run the best firewall and anti virus we have lost a computer before ( well not a computer but a hard drive full of info and programs ) and everything was lost! Luke
-
just ignore the account activation bit of the site, all the rest is clean, thats the idea of it, it keep the rest of the site clean
-
Whats a firewall ? sounds like It might be handy for seagull scmitt.
-
oh also, you will see all external links are edited to include " check link is made by a known poster ",

it doesnt allow any activity between your computer or the internet or the internet and your computer that you dont want, just simple surfing without any pop ups etc etc. It also tells you when any program attempts to launch without you before hand allowing it, so no viruses can run. As soon as an unknown program runs it tells you and ask you if you want to allow it, if you know the programs name ( i.e. microsoft word ) then you allow the program to run, if you dont you can just tell it not to. But with programs you do know like Microsoft Word you can tick a box on the warning message so it doesnt ask you again if it should allow Microsoft Word to run, hope that explains it. Here is a link to a free one, dont be fooled by the fact its free, it has stopped us from having a virus in 7 years!!! Its called Zone Alarms, they can be a little tricky to figure out but if you read the help it should be ok, Luke
