With a rotary nozzle on the pressure washer I can make pulp as smooth
as I want. Takes a bit more time, but you can get it down to a thick
batter consistency as opposed to the normal oatmeal consistency. Will
require a bit of water being drained off for sculpting use, I suspect.

If you are not sure about putting a couple hundred into the washer and
nozzle, try borrowing one from a friend or neighbor first. Worst case,
you can rent one at your local rental outlet for around $50.
