Buckets - pros and cons

[Dave B]

I have the green unger bucket

I only half fill it and put applicator in it

Sits nice and tight in passenger footwell and doesn't spill maybe because it is lower to the ground than in the boot

 

[rshandyman]

Tight fit is always good...:laugh:

 

[Dave B]

Ooh er young man

 

[rshandyman]

I could not resist..

Seriously, a plastic bag fitted over the bucket really does restrict spillage....it only takes a second

Not sure if you can see from the picture but, I slip my bucket through the middle of my stand off. The edge of the stand off(the part that rests on the facia) is resting against the side of the panel in my boot. This stops my bucket from falling over and limits general movement while cornering etc. It's a tight fit which is good of course and as I always keep my stand off in my boot anyway, it puts it to good use.

I throw my applicator in the bucket which minimizes splash.

Mart.

Good Idea mart

Not seen these before Boar. How much are they.

did a bit of asking around today,turns out these Ettore round buckets are a very small diameter , 12 inch , no good for my needs [which is about a 15 inch diameter so i can dip a 14 inch t bar easily ]

How often do you change your water seye. Must admit, I am not the most frequent water changer.

I don't like to go longer than 2 hours without changing. Sometimes shorter depending on how dirty windows are.I know I could get longer but like to keep water as fresh as possible.

So I got my bucket today. Exactly the size I was after. It should hold plenty of the wet stuff.

I must be very naughty seye as I generally tend to go most of the day with the same water....I will change It if it does get dirty
