You definitely don't want to confuse the two, which is why these are ... usually bright colors.

[At the offer he glances down at the bucket again before shrugging. He grabbed a gun to demonstrate both methods as he spoke.]

Sure, you can put the whole gun under water or just pour it straight into the hole- I find the first way works best.
