Blazer15 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking for a foam gun. I know Adam's used to make one but stopped because a piece wasn't made in the U.S. ( which I highly respect). Where can I find one that's of good quality. I see them on amazon but am unsure of what I might get. Thanks for the help. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer15 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Also if anyone could point me in the direction of a decently priced pop up canopy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChargerMatt Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have the gilmour gun, the only issue I have with it is that when I let go of the trigger, it doesn't stop for a while. It slowly comes back to a stopped position. I probably should just put some WD40 or grease on it... hey that's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer15 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yea those were the foam guns I was looking at. I'll grab one of those. As much as I like that canopy it's a bit pricey and a bit to large for the space I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txredgt Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I use one of these. Thompson Racing Product List I spoke with Eric about one recently and said they were currently out of stock but that he could order one for me if I wanted. I haven't heard back from him since then but I know summer time with racing is a very busy time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer15 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ok guys, I just ordered my foam gun. I got the Gilmour foam master 2. It has the multiple settings, and I was wondering what the best setting is with Adams shampoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer15 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Anybody? Do you guys just fill the reservoir with shampoo and use the highest ratio setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPaycheck Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 There are a bunch of threads on the subject, but the general consensus is a 4:1 water to soap ratio. As for the dial setting, it's personal preference and practice. And have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
