Cleaning boxes

**Brian S** · 01-08-2010, 03:50 PM

More than likely most people already do this.
As we use hot mud in a 7" for first coat, that needs to be cleaned out asap, we get a pump up garden/rose sprayer about 5ltr size, after getting the worst out spray with the sprayer and your good to go.
Got to be done before it starts stiffening up

We fill the box by hand, and don't use a pump for hot mud

good idea a pump spray!!
why dont you get a better than ever mud tube to fill the 7"box cheaper than a pump and quicker than filling with hand,i would think..
i think hot mud means fast set????

I like the idea of the BTE tube,

I have an 18" one that would do nicely

Sorry about the "Hot Mud" been reading too many Yank drywall sites, yes fast set

Could be the answer if putting fast set through pump & boxes.

The job I'm on at the moment would need a

12 stone rottweiler chained to it, to stop it getting blagged.
Cracking piece of kit though

O well the £79 is wrong now just bought another of Ebay for £135 but it is the better model with usb charging and a light!
If u cant get near water and electric then just go buy 1 u wont regret it!

I put (hot mud) through my pump and 7" box. I have a small pressure washer which cost me £30 which I run of my geny and a bucket of water, I set it up ready to go before I mix 2 or 3 buckets depending on house size, start the clock and run for an hour the wash out. Oh Yeh I shortened the lance so its easier to hold the box/pump with one hand while washing with the other.
