mixing buckets

[bkh]

after some new buckets to knock up in as im using the 25 ltr wwhite buckets at the min but always find im a bit short on a full mix, what are you guys using and where do you get em from

 

[irish_spread]

I tend to use 2 if one isnt enough, and if that isnt enough3 and...... ;D

 

[S a plastering]

75litre refina tubs with 2 handles mix 3 bags if need be

 

[skimmin2day]

I use the yellow gorrila tubs just under 2 bags and full to top for a pis sy mix how i like it.

gorrila tubs, cant go wrong for missing, had the same ones for 5 6 years, brilliant buckets

A skip. Fecks up paddle on the drill when u get into the corners tho

i hate them for mixing finish in ok for backing plasters an such but for me you get too much air into the mix with a big open bucket like that which can send it off quicker but its whatever works for you i suppose

only ever used those 25l buckets, what are the gorilla ones like to lift up to the spot? they seem too flimsy to me

 

[simplybesty]

we collected all the muller rice tubs up and mix in them, there really good because you can lift 2 onto the spot at a time. ;D ;D

40 liter white 2 handled bucket ......refina..bit expensive,...but lasts..made out of decent virgin polyethelene plastic.....takes 2 bags at a time.......sod mixing to separate buckets......get a big one done and slap it on the board...job done...gorilla buckets are used by chimps........throw ya shiiiit in em not your mix....to each their own tho

 

[simplybesty]

im the same as you mate the big 2 bag from refina, the only thing i wish the would do is have a lip on the bottom of these buckets so when you pick them up you can grip the bottom.

I always use a bath for knocking up hardwall on domestic.
Then any left over just pull the plug & turn on tap to rinse out,
customers don't usually like it though, bits of hardwall stuck in their batty crease ;D
