we tapped into the main water line for our reclaim pit. No hot or cold abilities and have great success.
I would say its more gold than hot

There should be no need for high pressure. Water alone should dissolve the unexposed stencil. Spraying water at a glass full of sugar cubes won't really make them dissolve faster. Let the water do its work. This is another reason to use a dip tank and let the water do its work.



No water over 100 degrees F. Use the baby bottle test. Warm water works faster than cold water.

cold or warm is best for me. hot seems to harden any areas that aren't washed all the way out. cold's cheaper too! i'm cheap.

If you are fighting with washout you may be overexposing. Get a step wedge and find out.
