Been following your threads for a while, now finally got my own foam gun. I was wondering if you can give me a tip on how to make that kind of thick foam like that? I think I followed the instructions properly, but the foam came out really runny. Not to mention I went through way more than I thought I would. The place I got it from said a 16oz bottle is good for 30+ washes?? Or is that for hand wash?
Thanks for your help!
