Powerburst dilution rate
« on: April 03, 2012, 08:35:08 pm »
Hi Guys

Used powerburst today was a bit short for a lounge so had 1lt of prespray left in my sprayer so thought that i would just top up with another lt of hot water.

But it just did not work at all needed to mix another 2lt of prespray up.

Do you always use the advised dilution rates,or do you go either over or under the advised dilution rates and do they still do their job

I generally mix up 5 heaped scoops in a 10 ltr gloria sprayer and just keep using it till it runs out, often wondered how long it stays effective in the sprayer though!

I try to Have 40 Ltrs pre mixed always so not to be dilly dallying about in the morn.

O and I mix the the same dilution rate as westickles. Bit on the strong side but non of that over spray needed if you pre wet slightly b4 you pre spray ( the carrier is water anyhoo so it moistens the fibers to alow the pre spray to get right to work with out all the slow soaking in bit )

I pre wet with hot water so it drives in quicker.

1scoop per 1 litre - got to be HOT for me though...
