Mixing S&C with drill??

[SpankySouthport]

Ok so I'm gonna give mixing S&C with my drill a go what is the process? Water first if so how much?

 

[Nisus]

You'll need 9litres of water mate :RpS_thumbup:

 

[beddy]

I just chuck some in to get it going. Add sand and cement then just add water to suit

So a full builders bucket :RpS_lol:

 

[johniosaif]

Fill bucket to nine tenth s , add fairy liquid or bubble bath, spin for five mins.

you mixed it with a shovel on a board, put a shovel of cement in the middle of your pile of sand and worked it in with the shovel, layering it with your shovel. bit hard to describe in text.

I would have hoped everyone has mixed S&C with a shovel before but who the fck wants to do that plus a labby couldn't mix it fast enough before you use it..

anyone mixed with drill before?

 

[owls]

I've mixed with a drill a few times on small repair jobs and absolutely hate doing it. I would deffo use a drum mixer for 20m2, not just for speed but because IMHO you get a nicer, smoother drop of gear using one.

you can apply that logic to anything, we used to mix browing in a bath with a bike cog, but i wouldnt want to go back there.
