Removing WB ink

[ZooCity]

We use Franmar D-haze as part of every screens reclaim cycle.  It's pretty mild and won't wipe out all staining but, used every cycle, does well enough for us.  The rest we've found to be too harsh.

Hot water is a way bigger deal with WB for general cleanup too, especially HSA and I just ran us hot at the new space (filtered at the booth area) for this reason.  We've always just had cold.

John a 3k psi hot water pressure washer would be freaking awesome, I might just look into that.

Something like this. I ran one of this guy's ancestors when I did screens at Andy's T-Shirts all day long.

I'm going to take advantage of the 12 months of sunshine we get and work on installing a solar water system on the roof for the sole purpose of getting warm water into the screen area. I can simply run a few hundred feet of coiled pex on the roof painted black and i've got plenty of hot water.

Save yourself a step and just buy irrigation pipe/pex. It is already black and a fraction of the price of regular PEX. As long as you are not drinking the water you should be fine.

Oh, and you can take your 12 months of sunshine and shove it!

1. I used to run the previous washer from the water heater drain valve. It helped a bit, but the Mi T M kicked some serious butt on problem screens!

2. Those 12 months of sunshine are going to cost a lot of us some serious coin as dairy, meat, and produce prices climb due to our drought. (current storm notwithstanding)

PIP as that tubing is called is rated at 130 degrees whereas PEX is rated at 210

Be careful doing that. You need to have a Adjustable thermostatic mixing valve to make sure the water does not come out too hot. You would be amazed at how hot the water can get. Up to 200 degrees is possible.

I have an old screen that I forgot to clean out, so I went with my scorched earth solvent, pregan c4. It looks like it has loosened it up and I got most of the ink off, I just need to hit it with a pressure washer to see how well it worked.  It's a trax screen so no biggie if this doesn't work. C4 isn't quite like haze remover, but it will soften solvent proof emulsion.
