Jimmy, I've been using 1/2 Gallon SH, 1/2 Gallon Water with a little alcohol and gription in a pump sprayer. Been working fine.

good to hear, do you use it all or do you leave some in sprayer? just asking cause i was wondering about the buildup of gas.

I alway's let the pressure out when not in use. I noticed with pressure some seeps out of the tip, then usually destroy's whatever its near. But I do leave the mix in the tank with no problems yet.

Can u usually hit the roof from the ground or do you carry a ladder? I am sure we can close so many more jobs by doing demos and want to start

I've been closing a little less than 1/2 of my estimates so far and I also have been thinking demos would be the way to go.

I used pump ups for uh... a year before I built the trailer. No probs with pump ups using cider. With dawn. I dont know any more. Hope I helped. Make sure the pump up is bleach rated.

When i do demo's with pump up spayer I mix it strong CAUSE it is a demo, i use sh, h2o and dawn... work and sells them everytime... to be honest I have not done a demo all year, I close the biggest part of my bids maybe 8 out of 10 , the other 2 say they just cant afford it.....

Dude your life is in your hands! I reccomend heading for Charleston :) I hate to be beating the same drum over and over but I can say that this time if you miss this event you will be so far behind the learning curve that you will be kicking yourself so hard you foot will fall off.
