4 months ive been wfp and today 2 of us did more work than 3 of us used to do and the third guy who left was stupidly fast trad, the first month or 2 i couldnt really see the change but oh yes it is certainly a lot quicker and better......    im just a little concerned about the winter months coming up (freezing) i really dont want to have to climb again..

Iso is THE solution in winter for us lot,i`ve used it for the last 2 winters and it really does work.The first thing to freeze is the Y peice on the brush it freezes easily without it being that cold at times,hot water cracks glass using Iso dosen`t but you still get to carry on working.I`ve used it down to -5 with nothing freezing.
