So was that 2 ppl working 10 hours each which = 20 total hours, or 2 ppl working 5 hours which = 10 total hours?

A normal foam gun won't require it, but a "foam cannon" like his would. Benefits of the pressure washer style foam gun is that it comes out thicker like in his pictures.

Care to share how to make your own foam gun? Or willing to make one to sell me ?

Or do you have any recommendation to buying a foam gun?

I had to get some custom parts to make the foam gun, Im going to try and get them mass produced....

BTW, thanks to everyone for their comments and for the posters who helped me answer the questions asked.

I apologize for not being able to answer that quickly! I am an investment banker by trade and this is just a hobby!
