As I posted in a reply somewhere in that thread, the mistakes I made
were overconfidence and complacency. The corrective measures I took
were:
1. Vowing to always wear boots when working with papercrete.
2. Replacing the old worn buckets with new ones.
3. Getting in the habit inspecting my buckets for undue wear before
each use.
4. Rounding the corners and dulling the butt ends of my mixer blade.
5. Not getting carried away and zipping the blade so fast. So what if
I have to mix a bucket for an extra 30 seconds? I was in typical male
macho overkill mode of "YEEEEEE HAAAAAW MORRRRRRE POWWWWWERRRRRR!!!!!
LOOK AT THAT SLURRY SWIRL!!!" Eh.... what can I say? I'm easily
entertained by the little things in life. It beats being a boring
stuffed shirt any day!

the paper?
