AcF 50 help

[majaem]

After getting caught up in snow twice in a week I decided to purchase a bottle of ACF50 and give the bike a good going over.

The question - how do you get the AcF to spray? I had an empty bottle / spray trigger on top but the Acf50 is too gloopy to spray. I can easily rub it on on a cloth but I really want to get the AcF50 into the nooks and crannies where the cloth won't reach.

Any advice

Thank you

I always used a paraffin gun and compressor so never had a problem. It gets thinner if you heat it.

Can't help with your spray problem but you should book a visit to all year biker! They did a great job on my bike and are very thorough. Spent about 3 hours from start to finish and charge £65.00 all in, great value I think

Warm it up in a bucket of hot water for a while, this should make the ACF50 thinner and should be ready for spraying onto your bike

It needs warming up in a bucket of warm water first. Have a look at how the MF does it. Alternatively get a cheap compressor from machine mart etc and spray it on. if you do that see how all year biker do it

Good luck but keep it off your brakes and tyres

Thanks guys. I'll try the hot water option first and if not I'll try the all year biker option.

I have the same issue...get a 1" brush and paint it into the nooks and crannies..20ml in a spray tin lid will go a fair way

Spray it into a container & brush it on. It'll go so much further

I heat it in a bowl of hot water, then spray it into a garden hand sprayer (4 quid from B&Q), back into the hot water then twist the bit on the end so it 'mists' and you're good to go. Also used the paintbrush method, which is surprisingly quick as it spreads really easily and goes a long way so even if you cover the bike you'll use a tiny amount and don't get the run off/waste you get from spraying.
