    Boot Dryers

    Anyone tried the Peet boot dryers? Any good?
    Or any other varieties out there worth looking at?

    For years I have effectively used the old electrolux vacuum cleaner on "reverse thrust" with the hose thrust up into the toe of the gumboots.
    Warm and dried in minutes.

    You still got one of those that work? Do you want a sprayer attachment for it?

    BTW, you can also use a vacuum cleaner head set on suction and stick it into the boot toe space, it also forces air through the boot and does the job but not as quick as hot air.

    Yup good. Have found they take around 24hr to dry properly wet leather boots which is a good thing as won't cause any damage to glues etc. Do gumboots ect overnight

    Ta,
    They are great, we use ours everyday during winter.
    Get the fan assisted model, costs a bit more but well worth it.

    My thanks for the kind offer, but for paint, I have a Wagner airless unit and for weeds and other politicians, a couple of 125 litre back packs.:>)
