Hi Barry,

Have you tried Ammonyx Lo with your roof mix? From what I have read it will take the place of TSP, Dish soap and alcohol.

And by the way, I love your website, it has been a wealth of information for me.

I only use what the roof manufacturers recommend, so no I have not played with that at all. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful but I haven't a clue. Let us know how it works out for you.

We haven't in a while. I don't really notice a difference with or without it besides hang time.

Thanks for the reply. What time of day do you usually get on your MB? I would also like to give you a call sometime to pick your brain if you don't mind.

I'm not going to be doing the Veal barns anymore due to the health risk, + I cant find anyone to help me. I'm still doing farm equipment when I can but like you we have to wait for the weather to give us a break.

Last year at this time I was driving back and forth to South bend for jury duty. That didn't pay to bad, 58 cents a mile both ways plus $40. a day. Did that for two and a half weeks. Anyway talk to you later.

I have used dawn and I like it BUT if I dont use the entire batch, it goes bad within a day or so. Lately I have been using Mr Clean, that seems to be working pretty well.

I use SC from Bob. That way I can use my left over mix for house washing.

I never tried SC in a roof mix, how much are you using?

Hi Barry, have you tried the new chlorine compatible surfactant myristamine oxide? It is now replacing ammonyx lo.

It is three times as thick as ammonyx lo and saves you money on shipping because five gallons of M-Oxide will last you as long as fifteen gallons of A-Lo

Any of you guys going to the Round table in Tampa this year?
