Step 1: What You Will Need
Things that you will need:
-Pressure pump 1.5 or 2L
-2 luer lock syringe 10mL
-Something to cut (scalpel/knife..)
-Scissor
-Plies
-Wrench
-Flat spray nozzles F110 (015, 02, 03, 04, 05)
-Needle to puncture
-Glass wool
-Sponge, optional to decrease the water flow
Step 2: Disassemble the Original Nozzle/tip
With the wrench and your hand do a small pressure to remove/tear the tip off
Step 3: Syringe
*Test if the tip will fit in the pressure pump.
Step 4: 1st Syringe
1st Syringe do as the pictures
Cut the "tail" and enlarge the tip
Step 5: 2nd Syringe
Do as the pictures
Cut the tip off and enlarge the role until you can fit the flat nozzle
Take the rubber plunger off, cut a hole.
Step 6: Two Syringes Together
The two syringes will be like this
Step 7: Fill With Glass Wool and Cap It
Fill the big barrel with the glass wool
Be aware of that maybe you will have to put more or less glass wool to produce more or less foam.
Usually: more shampoo = less glass wool; less shampoo = more glass wool (You have to test the amount).
To cap one syringe on another, you have to enlarge the plastic.
Step 8: The Pump
Make a hole with the needle as the picture, it will make air mix with the shampoo+water.

Well sometimes it happens when the mesh is clogged or the hole on the pipe is wide/or clogged.
Best way to figure out what is wrong is take off the sryinge, if u use the pump it should come out water/soup+air, always mixed.
In the sryinge clean the mesh, if it's dirt. Usually the problems are: the mesh got soaked or dirt. U may have to add more mesh to the sryinge or remove some.
If you interfere too much in the water flow, I mean resistance, it won't produce constant foam.
