scrapers

[Dave B]

What do you guys use as a scraper and how do you attach it to pole??

Any advice or links appreciated

 

[adamangler]

you mean when using wfp?

I find soaking gets most stuff off just come back to it, or i just use side of brush head and scrat it lol.

I'm about to order the Gardiner one as I came up against some unbeatable bird **** the other week, I think it sits opposite the brush and has an abrasive pad and scraper in one.

I don't have a gardiner pole and i heard that only fits them

 

[Jimroot]

Ok soz can't help then :-(

 

[Dave B]

Maybe ubik or virosol on the brush might work..got some first cleans to do wfp

I turn the pole round so the back of the brush can be used to 'scrape' it off, though you need to be careful you don't scratch the window, but it does work. I use this as a last resort though, not really ideal!

 

[Jimroot]

If you're using the brush head, couldn't you stick on a mild abrasive pad direct? Might be less chance of a scratch

 

[Dave B]

That's an idea jimroot

Might give that some thought

I used these on both my slx poles, great for the job but I've just put on an Aqua-daptor on my SLX18 and due to the the way the scrapper fits onto the pole it doesn't fit with the Aqua-daptor :-( the angle dosent sit right with the AD on top of it. THE AQUA-DAPTOR IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT by the way. /emoticons/wink.png

We use this when we come across some really stubborn stuff.

When we first started wfp 10 years ago we used Unger Teleplus poles with Vikan brushes. So the Ungers are left over from that era. We still use them from time to time though, especially when we are doing high level internal window cleaning.

I have an optiloc 3 section and a harris pole with optiloc cone so that is a good idea..cheers bud

Its a pain having to walk back to the van to get it but it doesn't happen very often.

 

[Dave B]

I had 1 like that yesterday

New clean 1 spot of bird :turd:

3 soaks with pure and nothing so put a bit of neat virosol on the brush and it finally moved

 

[Dunner]

Same as Spruce, it happens here and there but as you know daeyboy1 from trad you can tell a

stubborn one just by looking. A soak is normally enough though.

Once you take the crust off you can remove it easily with the brush but sometime you leave a shadow that can only be seen from inside or when the glass is almost dry and the right angle, the scraper is good for these too.

I too use the edge of the brush stock at times but with brick dust on the stock it could scratch the glass.

 

[Dodger]

I stuck Velcro on ends of my tecbuk with resin and worked a treat, using Gardiner sill more and more though and can't do it with that sadly.

 

[Dave B]

I have a load of velcro at home so will try that..cheers dodger

i have scrued a gardner super scraper to my angle nack wrks very well u can then put any type of scrub pad on u want i use the white gardners one or bronze wool pad cut up an elastic banded on :thumbsup:

 

[Posh]

I got that idea off dodger yonks ago. He told me about it. I went out & bought some xtra strong Velcro & stuck it with super glue to the brush. Works a treat @daveyboy1 & good for fly crap when you can see it.
