To celebrate the 50th anniversary I made this decorative foam cover for my bucket on a belt:

Ha, sorry, It's a one off /emoticons/wink.pnglooks really good make me one please
You like to use your diy skills thenHahaha, yeah I'm pretty bored alright /emoticons/smile.png
Well let's have a look at the more functional modifications of my bucket. I know this bucket does look a little rough, but it's very old and it's been used as a guinea pig for various ideas I've had over the years...
You can ignore the rubber that protects the squeegee blade, but these white and green plastic tab I glued on are a must for stopping wet leg. Imo, this mod is essential for these buckets. Bear in mind this is for a left handed setup, right handed would have to be the reverse of what you see here:

Also, I shortened the bucket for a 15 inch applicator (18" t bar with 1.5" sawed off each side and a 14" strip washer stretched over, since I don't think they make these things tight enough and I hate it slack). This decorative cover allows me to plaster over the join:

On a side note, I use an aluminium channel in the ergotec squeegee. I use a contico hi-rise channel and drill two holes in. I would not go back to a steel channel now:

Thanks mate.All very good mods!
These pictures should explain (left handed setup, btw). The first picture simulates what happens without the pads. You can see the soapy water which is pouring over the side:Im very interested in ur wet leg stoppers on the i side of your boab, does this simple drag excess water off the applicator fenderjaguar?
Nice, 30 degree and 0 degree ergotec swiveloc? Pretty much the best comination of squeegees to be carrying around imo. I modded the 0 degree for the s spring and carry just the handle around in my back pocket without a channel, then switch the channel out of the regular ergotec, if I need it.Very good ideasI don't know if it is the porcupine sleeve which holds less water or the unger ninja boab i use now which is a tad bigger i think due to the thicker channels on a ninja squeegee which i don't use anyway but i never get a wet leg nowadays
I like the ninja boab
Loads of room in it
