Mixing buckets - money saving tip

[Leatherface]

Want free mixing buckets ?
Then take a trip down to your local swimming baths, all swimming baths use chlorine which is usually supplied in large rigid plastic tubs, similar in size to a gorilla tub but not quite as wide. They are great for mixing adhesive in. I have about 40 in my garage now. Most swimming baths just throw them away and are happy for someone to take them.
Health and safety tip - when transporting them keep your van windows wound down as the chlorine vapour is dangerous. Wash them out when you get home

Empty adhesive buckets ok, but these are 3 times the size. Also great for throwing waste tiles into etc.

I have started throwing 4 quid (soz pound sign still wont work on keyboard) on every job that i do and get some of those crap orange buckets from B and Q for 98p. Use them and toss them.
