Deck Stripping
Tracy Handl replied to RGilliam's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Our Remove is NOT a precarb. It is a sodium hydroxide based stripper. Our precarbs are Safewash, and EZ Off. EZ Off has some caustic in it to be a light stripper. Rip It is the Strong, sodium hydroxide based powdered stripper everyone has been switching to. Just wanted to clear that up. -
Ready Seal Clear??
Tracy Handl replied to big mike's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
All customers should be like that! Since she is there for only 3 months she never really gets to see the gray. Keep making her happy and laugh all the way to the bank. Good for you. :) -
Washing concrete around a pool
Tracy Handl replied to gutterdog's question in Residential Pressure Washing
You can adust your pressures on a surface cleaner just like on your wand. Change the orifice size and the result will be a different pressure. Also, the degree will change the impact. so use the combibation to get whatever pressure you need. Most folk I talk to use the surface cleaner and use a suitable pressure. -
Ready Seal Clear??
Tracy Handl replied to big mike's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Of course this will get grayed out in about 3 to 6 months. As long as they are happy, then it's all good. If they don't like the weathered look later, maybe a little light brown can be used when you mantainance. -
a zero degree tip was used. Be carfule when using those shooter tips!

xjet = downstreamer with variable nozzle?
Tracy Handl replied to premiumpowerwash's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Being one of the biggest suppiers of the X-Jet and M5 X-Jet, I often get sent units to test that are replicas of X-Jets. I try them all and have yet to find one that works as well. As stated eairlier, the design is extremley good and copies all seem to fall a bit short. That's why we love them and continue to offer them. I'd be interested in your designs if only for the fun. Let me know what ya'll come up with if you do try this. Those of you who love to tinker, have fun with it, and for those of you who don't, let me know if you need an X-jet. ;) -
sometimes a guy has to play as well. So Sat. of last weekend, I played HARD. See pictures below. What an awesome adventure! Really cool. Skydiving 1.bmp

Not really that scary. Maybe a little when I was at the door, but even then, I just sort of went with it. I either make it or not. Worring about it won't do anything. At the point of the door it's a bit late to back out. It was fun to fly, but staying grounded is cool too!

www.sunbritesupply.com Check wood section for Safe Wash. It's a great pre-carb......

putting together your own trailer package.
Tracy Handl replied to drod17's question in Residential Pressure Washing
As a distibutor I often hear how folks can make something for less than manufactuers charge. In some cases that is true. But often it is not. Here's why. Buying power is something that manufacturers have over single makers. A manufacturer buys parts for assembly at much better rates because they buy more at one time. Therefore the costs are lower. Also, there is usually a planned assembly that keeps costs lower than one time assemblies from scratch. On the surface your numbers look good. I did not see you take into account whip lines for connecting hose reels to the machine, or hose barbs and filters and lines from your water tank. Tie downs or U-bolts, etc need to be accounted for also. Plus labor is a factor in assembly. Most don't count their own labor, but ask yourself, if you worked for the manufacturer, wouldn't you want to get paid to assemble? So your labor has to count for something. The $1500 you say you are saving, in my experience can get eaten up rather quickly when every item used in making that trailer unit gets accounted for. Of course there is also a convienance factor too. Their unit is already made and you just go to work when you get it. That can be worth a lot in itself. Most distributors I know really want to help the contractor. While it is true some items may be able to be made for about the same or slightly less than the selling price, often the savings don't outweigh the efforts. -
Clear seal by RS
Tracy Handl replied to Adrian's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Glad to have helped. You can always contact me with RS questions also. I'm here to help YOU! -
Clear seal by RS
Tracy Handl replied to Adrian's question in Wood Cleaning & Restoration - Decks, Fences, etc.
Yes, RS does make a clear sealer. Sealers you see in the big box stores that say they are clear do have a little pigment in them. RS's clear is clear - no pigment at all. It is not advertized or pushed much because if used, you get NO UV protection. Most contractors that I know use it to do maintanance work. They usually mix a little of the original color RS that was used into the clear just to spruce up the look, so it won't get much darker, while adding to the water protection. There is no price difference. If the customer wants the gray, weathered-look, then the clear is ok, but as most of you know, that is not what folks usually want. They want the natural look of the wood, but you as a contractor need to educate them that the pigment provides the UV protection. That is why the colors are promoted and not the clear. You can custom blend any of the RS colors together or with clear, but remember, you have to match again later, so keep good records. -

It's hard to answer your question as you have not provided any details about what the trailer will carry. Weight will be a consideration as I'm sure you know. Are you going to run a hot water machine? They create a lot of heat and enclosed trailers have issues to deal with when hot machines are installed in them. I would love to help you more with this. Give me a call and we can discuss all of your options.

The penofin should strip out rather easily. Ready Seal is similar to Penifin and is incredibly easy to apply. They use a metal flake pigment so it is a brighter finish than the clay based pigments. We have all the items you will need to complete you project with ease. See our items at www.sunbritesupply under the wood care section, or call me toll free for assistance.

For those that have over 200' on your reels for Power Washing
Tracy Handl replied to Christopher's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
The machines we promote all have a plug on the machine. You then hook into a socket. The basic reason for this is to protect the o-ring from coming out when disconnecting. Water flowing INTO the socket will help keep the o-ring in it, while water flowing out of the socket has a tendency to push the o-ring out while disconnecting. It's really a personal choice about using QC's on a hose reel. Many like it but many do not. They are cause of bulk on the reel. They are convienant for swapping hoses. I like using the FPT couplers in between lengths and using a QC at the ends. Less likely to come apart; less likely to leak; less bulk on the reel. A previous post in this thread mentioned to keep pipe wrenchs at hand. Boy Scout motto: Be prepared! Whichever way you use, that motto should be used. -
what lances do you like why.
Tracy Handl replied to chris francis's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Dual lance wands work becuase they divert FLOW. Pressure is achieved from a combination of flow and orifice size. With a singlre lance, flow is constant and to adjust pressure, you change the orifice size of the nozzle. Hence changing nozzles. The dual wand allows one orifice size to be used and then you divert the flow. As less water pushes through the nozzle, the pressure is less. The more water you send to the nozzle, the higher the pressure. Fairly simple concept, but very effective results for pressure changes. -
