same here, wfp the lot or trad the lot, with 1 or 2 exceptions. i can't be doing with the hassle of cartin both kits round, if you don't mind doing that, you'd be ok, would'nt need bucket of water really, just soap up the app and squirt a bit of water on the window before you applicate. not for me though, unless there's a water shortage!

I have only been Wfp for 4mths ish and am doing most WFP tops trad bottoms.I still enjoy doing abit of trad , but am moving slowly over to doing some completely WFP. Some of the bigger proporties i used to price myself out with trad , but as WFP is quicker i'm re-pricing and picking these up. Also new cussies i tell them i only do WFP.IT's me that's stopping the complete move over not the cussies.
Saying all that as i said i do enjoy a bit of trad!!

I do a fair few houses now where its all wfp .
I get my water for knowt , from mother-in-law who isnt on a meter .
But if I was paying for it I'd be more 50-50 , all bottoms would be trad

A bit of both is a very good combo

Here here. Good to keep your hand in at both trad and WFP. Some trad can be quicker if it's a walk away and hose needs managing.

Thanks escort, that would be great, whats a fast tow?
is there any chance of a pic of your bowser? do you think
it would work using it to fill backpacks? would need to
fit submersible pump to fill back packs.
