Like i said in my earlier post, it's hard to keep the water flowing using the gardent hose faucet. Try running your hose from inside the house. I used my laundry sink, because I could thread the hose onto the spout, and pulled my hose through the basement window.
Then use the hot water, so that it doesn't freeze in the hose or sprayer. Where two layers of gloves/mits or just stake the hose to the ground.
Drink scotch while you spray. Nightly applications are required to build a decent layer.
The easy way is to go to Canadian Tire and buy a kit, which is like a big plastic bladder that you fill with water, and then let freeze. when Frozen, pull the plastic off the top. Leaves a smooth surface and a bottom layer of plastic to keep the ice from sinking into the grass on warm days.
