Re: Cleaning An Automatic Taper
Awe shucks! You bought the "TAPETECK BAZUCA" from JAPAN! Look inside the head-there should be a little gook in there turning the gears. Tell him to open up the gate and pump away!
HE WRILL TELL WROO RIGHT FROM RONG.

Re: Cleaning An Automatic Taper
You guys are ornery!! If I am not mistaken, I think the American made computers have spell checker on them...
But not the Chinese made versions.Just take that bazooka to the car wash and give it a good bath with three thousand pounds of pressure. You have to hold it under your foot so it doesn't get a way. |

I got ran off from all the local car washes buy the owners or maintenance. They say, we don't want that crap here, it clogs the drains. So this past spring I bought a nice pressure washer. It's one of my favorite toys now.

Re: Cleaning An Automatic Taper
Nothing works better than a big slop sink, hose and hot water.
Be careful with the power washer, especially with the bottom side of your boxes. Tim= stick in the mudd... ![]() BTW, open the gate to the edge of the wheel and crank out mudd until it stops. Now open the gate and squirt it out where you fill the tube. Now put foot on Badzuka and squirt out until you see the cable is clean... |

Re: Cleaning An Automatic TaperQuote:
Wish I could use ya. I have 4 jobs I'm working on now. One is an old house built in 1851 completely gutted and reworked with all 5/8" board and level 5 finish. One new house and two additions. After I wrap these up in a couple weeks, that's it. Nothing else coming in for this spring.

Re: Cleaning An Automatic Taper
kin ell boys dont bother cleaning them. just buy a new one every time its too dirty. if you cant afford one you aint doin it right.
1 day pay in the uk for peice work £1200 = approx $ 1700 taper = £ 700 every few weeks |

Re: Cleaning An Automatic Taper
Brocktologist summed it up for cleaning.
In between cleanings some of us leave the bazooka head immersed in a 5 gallon bucket of water. This will soften it prior to cleaning and also just an easy way to keep it if you will be using it again shortly. Always have a short chunk of garden hose to clean out at jobsite. |
