Bucket question.

[Deleted member 23452]

Just curiosity, but how many use the tall plaster mixing buckets? Why do you or don't you?

 

[Donzo]

Don't like tall narrow ones,,,, getting trowel in on occasions.

 

[Vincey]

I use both depending on what kind of room I’m in or if I have a lot of time or not , tall hard buckets don’t splat the walls in smaller rooms but gorillas are easier to take materials out of if in tight spaces

 

[Rossi46]

Bucket trowel always snags on the handle

Refina buckets are the best for me by far! the gorilla tubs are not strong enough for plastering imo the handles always bust.

If using a spotboard and a labourer tall buckets with fresh 1bag mixes at a time.

If working on own big buckets 2-3 bags mix up at once and work our of bucket.

Why you bothered @imago ?

Always use the tall plasterers buckets, have for over twenty-five years.

I’ve got a tall big Refina bucket for skimming, I like it so I don’t get splashes coming out of the bucket and I can also rest the drill in the bucket and leave it there without it toppling over. Putz gorilla tubs are decent but I prefer tall skimming buckets.

Fill them to the top and they will always bust, They don’t make them like they used to.

You are not using “gorilla tubs” you are using Mickey Mouse ones

 

[Cockney]

Not using Mickey Mouse tubs because I Don’t use tubs! And I’ve seen plenty split open or handles bust. I use refina mixing buckets imo they are the best buckets out there! I always have a little chuckle to myself when I see spreads get them poxy rubber tubs out lol.

This is my Friday bucket

Never had an issue with the handles

The tall buckets are great for sitting on and having a poo in the back of the van......Ahhhhhhhhhh

 

[Nisus]

I've always used the tall buckets when using the spotboard or when I put a bin liner inside the tall bucket in the back of the van
But don't seem to use the spotboard as much these days depends on the job

Too much tallness and you get a severe splash back. Unless you break the fall with a thin layer of bog roll.

 

[Rossi46]

The original original gorilla buckets were bulletproof. Even gorilla don’t make them like they used to.

Always have a layer of bog roll down first it's the law

My mate gets the black mixing tubs from topps tiles £5-6 I think, thicker and tougher than like the selco ones.

I bought a black bucket from b&q and got 1 use out of it and the handle snapped. Garbage!

Them ones I mentioned wont snap

Handles on the other ones will only snap if the buckets are too full from mixing too much, half a bag a bucket per day is enough for any man

Just curious as you see them for sale in all the merchants but I can't remember the last time I saw one being used.

Not the proper gorilla tubs you haven’t

If You’re talking about the ones that were around 20yrs ago then fair enough! Not anymore.

You are confusing cheap makes with the still quality gorilla tubs, as you don’t use them you wouldn’t have a scooby doo what you are talking about as usual.

Just because a tub is black and round doesn’t make it a gorilla tub
