I just got a Gilmour Foam Gun, the orgional version with the brass parts, and I also picked up some DP Xtreme foam concentrate. Origionaly I thought to just use straight concentrate in the gun and adjust the mixture using the brass valve.



However, this still used the soap rather quickly and I wonder if I am just wasting concentrate.



I did a search and noticed that some people suggest diluting it.





What do you recommend as a good mixing ratio of concentrate to water.

I want the concentrate to last a bit longer, but don`t really want to compromise the foam ability too much.

I do it like it says on the website. Like 2 or 4 oz of soap in the container full of water. Shake it up and go. Works like a champ for me.

I agree.. just 2oz of soap, fill with water - you`ll get great suds out of it...
