Mix for Alphalt
Permalink  
 


When it comes to mix, I have read and read on here and there seems to be a common thread.
Luckly I have a test house to do, girlfriends rental, which needs cleaning bad.

Just got all the equipment from Lori and will have everything set up in a couple days.

HS supplier here in Des Moines is hard because they are pricey and they don't want to supply in small quanity.

I have the tanks to have one for H2O, if needed, one for mix and one for HS. Plan to mix on site.

My plan, for asphalt, is to mix 15 HS with 40 H2O and Hang Tite. What do you think?

I have the D5850, 200' 5/8" Kuri hose, ball valve 3/4" SCH 40 RB 3/4", for nozzles 1/4 Meg 0040, 1550 and 4050. Have 12' X 1" AG hose w/slotted PVC filter. Bought 600 amp Marine battery.

Didn't bother with reel, have ground guy to lump that. Have all ladders, stabilzers, stands, chicken hook for ladders. Have a power washer and plenty of garden hose 5/8".

Just want to get started and up grade later down the road.

Any and all feedback welcomed.

1.) its not HS  its " SH"  and
2.) 15 -40 ratio is to weak  u need to re read that  thread
if you  mix at this ratio you might be doing it again  Start out a little stronger and weaking as you go.... play with it,  rememeber the guys in Florida are getting super fresh SH...

Thanks. I know SH, fat fingered. Sounds like 15 SH to 25 H2O.
