Mixed Prodamine shelf life

Post by Adam_M » April 4th, 2021, 1:33 pm

On quite literally my first column of prodamine application, my sprayer wand sprung a leak. Can it stay in the sprayer tank for a couple days while I get a new wand?

I can't find anything official, but I do see a lot of guesses as to that. I'd personally say yes, let it sit.

Wands can be temporarily fixed using duct tape. Ask me how I know...

Cool, thanks (I did see your response right after you responded - thank you for the instant response, I just moved on to other projects and finally came back in). This was a weird break. Something went wrong on the plumbing between the hose termination and the wand. The agent actually got loose internally and delaminated the rubber grip from the body - which very much got in the way of the trigger. I later confirmed it was liquid and not just air. That was mildly unpleasant. Not sure duct tape can take that much pressure!

New one is on the way.

Three layers if you use a bit of hardened epoxy glue underneath. Again, ask me how I know. :-)
