Hey John, Does this tip fit on the 4-10mm adapter from Chris? The adapter that comes with it seems like it¹s too small for the B2 wand? I agree that the 2-hole small isomac is a bit slower than I¹d like, though it makes beautiful foam.
I could add this one to the repertoire if it fits the adapter. tx, bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....."
