All the GAIN that I find in the stores all say "do not mix with bleach" its ultra gain and not antibacterial

 This has been covered before, and this is a "cover your ass" type of warning from Proctor and Gamble, who make Gain.

They are concerned that in an inside situation, in a sink filled with bleach water, Mama might breathe some fumes doing dishes.

Thousands of roof cleaners, including us,  use Gain outside with no problems.

haven't had any issues with it either. mixed it with snot on last job and just eyed it as my first batch of mix was getting low and shooting bubbles! my sh supplier just informed me he cannot bulk deliver to me anymore with out me having double walled tanks. more expenses.

 You may want to try Liquid Joy Dishsoap, or even Lemon Fresh Joy, to mix with the Roof Snot 

It MAY work even better, here is why. Gain contains Ammonyx LO, same as Roof Snot. Joy is different, and contains different surfactants, no Ammonyx.

These different surfactants MAY combine with Roof Snot better, and make a thinker final  product!

The Joy says on the labile. "Do not add Bleach"

 The MSDS says nothing about avoiding anything! 

Gain says to avoid bleach in the MSDS, but not Joy's MSDS

The back of the bottle says one thing and the MSD the other. Go figure!

 I tried Joy years ago in bleach, but it fumed! The old MSDS said to avoid bleach!

But the new one says it is OK for everything, and the guy in Canada has been using it w/o problems.

Go Figure ?
