F18 Max mixing issues...

[Camelot 68]

Hey guys...need some help....

I just received my brand spankin' new shipment of F18 Max and I'm about to tackle my old deck in the yard to see how it works (I've read great stuff about it here). At risk of sparking an xjet vs. downstream debate, I need some help on mix ratios.

I will be applying the F18 Max with an xjet at 4gpm. Assuming it's a 5-6 year old PT deck with old stain on it, what is my general mix ratio per gallon? There are mix ratios included in the shipment, but I don't know if they're for use with an xjet or a pump sprayer, etc. I also tried the search function here at the Grime Scene, but it only lets you search for words that are 4 letters or longer...F18 obviously fails to qualify...maybe I should try effeighteen...LOL

Thanks for any assistance!

When we used it, it was starting around 7-8oz/gal which worked well. We only had a small amount at the time which was enough to do the job so we didn't get to try it stronger.

About the search, did you try "F-18"? It's 4 characters.

You can dissolve as much as 20-25 ounces a gallon of f-18. I know somewhere I saw a chart with mix ratios for all types of chemicals. Not sure if it was for downstreaming or x-jetting, but with f-18 it was over a 100 ounces per 5er. Based on a 5.5 gpm machine though.

Thanks fellas...Rod, "F-18" yields no results...good idea, though. Thanks again for the input.

I use google for the 3 letter tgs searches.
