It's for holding your tools mate. It's called bucket on a belt, but it's not really designed to act as a bucket full of water. I use one all day, and never get a wet leg. I also use a bottle on the side of the ladders for keeping  the mop wet. 250 mil bottle will be enough to keep the mop wet enough for at least 4 3 bed semi's.

So, unless you're walking around with about 2 pints of solution in your BOAB, I can't see what the cause is

Don't drill the hole.

You'll just get wet further down your leg.
Cozy is trad only. Listen to his advice.

Never use them, I find them annoying, always in the way, always wet, alway get caught on things, jumping kver gates is a mare with them, plus taking it on and off is annoying when getting back in van, I just hold the squeegee and applicator like a real man...  None of these silly gadgets swinging around my legs

[jimiwindows]

Dont put water in it just wet dolly and put in bucket its for carrying your tools not water.

[paulben]

never put water in it gets water coming off applicator then think it gets half full then I drop applicator in it splashes out never been as bad as this in last 10 years maybe I should put it in instead of drop

[dazmond]

dont put too much water in it and wear waterproof trousers.i wear ski pants in this weather anyway!warm and dry.

[lee_dewing]

That's a good idea about the ski pants Daz.

Adopted that idea last winter.

Won't be out til about 11am today 1c then temperature doubles at 2pm

[paulben]

Its when I put applicator in bob it scrapes off water from wet applicator where handle goes for left handed people have glued a bit of wood on to see what happens tomorrow then buy different type of bob or do something better at weekend

[Bart Olin]

ur worryin over nothing

[jimmy boots]

If you have a groove in both sides  of the BOAB where the applicator sits, block the front side off with some plastic
It worked for me

[G Griffin]

I remember a very old tip from years back
Someone cut a gap in a pouch- where the belt goes through- big enough for the BoaB loop and it sat on top of a pouch.
It seems like a ballache to me but I could see it keeping your leg dry.

[paulben]

That's what I am trying Jimmy .Don't mind wet leg in summer but could do without this time of year

[G Griffin]

I remember someone gluing some lino (or similar) to the back of a BoaB.
The water would run down that and not get your trousers wet.
