foaming quetion

[Ron Musgraves]

the homemade foamer post on tgs got me thinking. could you use a canistar under high pressure as a potable foamer.

the same kind of canistar we used to fill with water and shoot people with in high school. old fire extinguisher, we would put like 1000 psi on them.

just a thought.

They actually make something like that, I think I know what kind of cannister you are talking about. Firefighters are using foam more and more and there are several options available in those portable cannisters:

So your saying it can be done, or have you tried it?

I've never tried it, just heard of those fire extinguisher foamers you are talking about. I am sure there has to be some video around of them working.

Here you go:

That's what Poo is trying to do. He has as least thrown away his pump up an now using cannisters and trying to foam. It's a step in the right direction.
