Frequently asked questions
How does the Gum Blaster remove gum?
It directs high-heat, pressurized water from your truckmount at the gum. The heat softens the gum and the pressure blasts it loose so it can be extracted, rather than scraped by hand.
What machine do I need to run it?
It is designed to work with a truckmount producing 300 to 400 PSI and at least 170 degrees F at the wand. It is not intended for low-heat portable units.
Does hotter water work better?
Yes. The higher the heat at the wand, the quicker and more completely the gum releases, so a well-heated truckmount gives the best results.
How fast is it?
With adequate heat and pressure, a technician can remove dozens of gum pieces in just a few minutes, which is far faster than manual scraping.
Is it durable?
The wand and its 1,000 PSI valve are stainless steel, built to hold up to repeated high-heat, high-pressure use.
