Mixers and mixing

[Time's Ran Out]

Just had my evening meal sitting on the bar with another coffee!
Thinking about those hard working lads back in Blighty!
And to think my boss has allowed me to be off for another week and he's just taking it all in his stride!

I have an Aldi special, nearly 2 years it's been going. It did pack up a couple of weeks ago but, a bit of fiddling and it's running again. I always mix in a gorilla bucket, half bag at a time. I have a water bucket that sits alongside that holds about 20 litres, I also use this bucket for cleaning the whisk and my trowels etc.

I use an evolution mixer , mix on a tarpaulin sheet , large bucket of water to whisk the paddle in after each mix! Do all my own mixing as I work by myself !

I picked up a Lidl paddle mixer a couple of weeks ago, for £40.

Before that, I was using an electric drill with a Faithful mixing whisk. I mix in a Gorilla tub with another gorilla tub full of water for cleaning the whisk and trowels.

I mix myself too, as I work on my own.

Some technology makes our job easier!
And I note the arm is tight fisted!

this is same as mine, I usually mix up maybe half a bag a time if I'm on bathroom walls or a full bag rapid set if I'm on a decent sized floor. Usually mix into a 42 litre gorilla tub.

I have Rubi BL mixer, on its 3rd year. I mix up to half a bag a time, depending on the area being tiled. I had my doubts about this mixer when iI first got it as I could smell the brushes burning every time I used it. Its on its second paddle, and its used daily, as I never use tubbed addi.
