Hey guys

Been after some stronger Hypo.  Brought some at 15%, what is everyone else using?

I tend to buy 14-15% SH myself then depends what I'm doing just dilute it down to what I want it for.

Same here, by accident really tho. I just ordered my first batch a while ago and didnt realised it came in different strengths. But i understand that this is the highest concentration which can be purchased on this level. Which is brill, start at strongest so i can dilute to whatever strength i require. I order in 25ltrs as and when needed not in bulk. My second barrel has just come today. Its great stuff

I've just done the neighbours flags outside the front of their house as a favour.
Just used 15% SH neat. No wetting the slabs beforehand and no rinsing it off afterwards either as they have never been cleaned in 50 odd years. Used a window cleaner bucket and slapped it on with a truck brush...  YEHAA!  Job done ;D ;D

That's ideal.

It's good to know I brought the right stuff. I  got around 15 5l of black wash to use yet, this one job may need the strong stuff, but will try black wash at 50/50

Just be very careful as 15 % is nasty stuff especially if used neat
