Bought Me A GoSpout

Picked up a GoSpout, from WaterPort. I plan to use this in multiple ways for the AMBROTOS KANATA project. The unit provides pressurized water (hand pump) that comes out of a spray gun. I can use it to wash huge trays outside, to wash large new plates outside, general cleaning of tables and other tools. I can use it to clean the floor of the darkroom trailer. I can even use it as an emergency shower. The cheapest price I could find online in Canada was $217 CAD from Walmart online shopping (shipping from Ontario).

This unit is small and rugged,and should store nicely in the trailer.

Note* This last week I had a hard time cleaning the large trays used to make 20x20 plates. No more, this unit should fill a important cleaning need.

Note** I might even be able to use this thing to rinse plates covered in a collodion image. Will have to test it to see if it damages the sensitive emulsion.
