Has this ever happened to you, or your,or on your UK roads this does not happen, did I packed it wrong, not enough tapping? Or anything else? Should I scrap the whole lot?
Hi Pierre,

Bin it and pack the scrubber tighter.

I always fill my scrubber twice to make it tight, I'll explain.

I fill it and put the scrim and spider on and tap it down. When it is tight and has gone down about three quarters of an inch, I remove the spider and scrim and top it up and start over.

My rule is so that you can just preess the lime with your finger and it makes a slight indent, that's when it is tight enough.

As mentionned above, a bit more WOB is preferential to CO2 breakthrough from channelling.

Cheers

Dave Cooper
