Hi geeks.
I had a foam cannon thats been sitting forever in my garage
and yesterday finally decided pick up a PW and move on from foam gun.
I for poops and giggle, I picked up Ryobi 1600 psi with 1.2 GPM (I know this GPM is joke lol) because its cheap, compact and I knew it would fit with foam canon I had
without any issues.

I was still happy with result for how cheap PW washer was
but in order to get more sticky foam that doesnt run down as fast,
What do I need? more GPM or PSI?
or coulve've been my soap / water ratio?
Thanks.

I use a cheap black and decker with the AG foam cannon. I would start with getting a good snow foam first off...then you can play with ratios.
I use Chemical guys honey dew snow foam , 2 oz in the cannon and the rest warm water. I get thick and clingy foam no problemo.
I also make sure that I am on the "more foam" settings as opposed to the "more water" setting on the cannon (the little dial on top).
Hope this helps :)
