Hello All

[The Apprentice]

Just saying hello to all before I say a little about myself.

First and foremost I'm a plasterer by trade, back in the day when I started tiling was a plasterers job but I know that this is no longer the case and long may it continue. I've been teaching plastering for the last 10 yrs but got made redundant last summer so spent a bit of time back on the tools. Looking to start work in the not too distant future demonstrating the mix_m8 mixing paddle.

If you need any advice on plastering feel free because I will be asking plenty about tiling.

Hi Dan
The mix-m8 is a mixing paddle that is made from a rubber based compound that is designed to mix up to a full bag of plaster using a cordless drill, beauty for tiling is that it washes off in a bucket of water with a press of button or it can be knocked off with a hammer if you forget to wash it. The guy is also looking at bucket glove, do a search for those, save you hours cleaning out

 

[Dan]

Sounds cool!

I like the rubber buckets that you can whack with a hammer to clear them out. So the paddle would go a treat.

When you say 'they guy' - Who's that then? The manufacturer / designer guy like?

The paddle copes well it's all down to the mixer, mixed KRend up with one without any problem.

Would be interested in having a play with one of those......

Looks as if it could be worth a bash, where can I buy one or test one out for you?

 

[Stef]

Just looked at the web site, it will need to work well at those prices..

Hi and welcome....can't see the cordless lasting long, my metal paddles don't take long to do a mix of finish....

Same with anything, it all depends on what you buy in the first place but it also works on corded drills
