I just heard about Slo Mo last fall from @Racer and picked some up for doing roofs. I’m playing around with the overall amount to add to my batch mix tank of 65 gallons. I had approximately 6 ounces and had mixed 2 ounces at a time with water in a gallon jug and shook it well before pouring it into my tank plus stirred the whole batch with my drop tube. The overall mixture didn’t seem thick enough as I applied it to the roof I did today. I am wondering if anyone else uses this and batch mixes and how you mix it? I am contemplating a paddle type mixer. In the past, I have used Cling On and had pretty good luck but wanted something that sticks better. I use a Gen III system that is 7gpm. When I called the vender to ask about it I was told that it is because of the volume of the pump that it isn’t getting very sudsy.
Sorry, wasn’t me so I couldn’t help you. I’m a Snotmenade guy, but know they’re several on here that use.
@Firefighter4hire … your assistance is requested fine sir.
I’m using 12.8 oz per gallon. I mix 64oz with 5 gallons at a time in my soap tank and use a proportioner.
You had merely mentioned it in a post I made about a large dirty roof I was looking into. “Better get some slo-mo or triple up on your roof snot with that pitch and that dirty.” You didn’t go into detail. It was the first I had heard of Slo Mo, so I looked into it. It seemed like a great choice from what I have read. I’ll keep playing around with it and try to get the right amount to slow things down
What do you want to know
, @Cougar_Bait is asking, I’m a damn rubber scrubber @Firefighter4hire
So I ran a 35 gallon batch tank on a 5.5 gpm 12v. I added 8 ounces to my batch tank.im playing with the hydromixer now. I really love that thing
Who is also expanding to concrete, banks, and very soon houses. All of those hydroflouric fumes must be getting to you “rubber scrubber”…lol
When you added the 8 ounces to your batch tank, what did you do to mix it up? Simply stir it? The stuff is so thick out of the bucket that I’m wondering if I just didn’t get it mixed up (see my original post) enough as my solution on a roof wasn’t that “sticky”. I am thinking about trying a paddle mixer that I can attach to a drill.
I have a paddle mixer on a 18v drill.Hot water really helps
Thank you. I was hoping to hear that.
Do you mix slo-mo into water and then dump into mix tank?
I use SloMo almost exclusively now for roofs and house washes. I batch mix 35 gal with 8-10 oz. Add soap, add bleach, add water with 7gpm 12 volt. It mixes fine while adding the bleach and water.
For the record, I really liked elemonator on housewashes as Slo Mo requires a lot of rinsing on glass.
Where are you buying Slo Mo? I can’t find it anywhere online, is it still being made?
Here you go:
You’re awesome, thank you!
