[papercreters] Re: mixers

Sam, my hubby and I have been doing our experimental blocks and some
very small retainer walls around the barn with just one of
those "paint mixers" attached to our drill. You can buy these at
most any tool department in a Home Depot or Lowe's. It has worked
fine for our small projects so far.

It just so happens we had a large 50 gal. barrel to soak the paper in
first. I think the paint mixer would be a pain if the paper wasn't
soaked first to the point of falling apart.

We then do the actual mixing of ingredients in a more manageable pool
chemical bucket that is probably about a 15 gallon capacity.
