Re: [papercreters] Re: Boat motor mixer?

Cement and lime alone would total the bearings most likely the concept is great. The environment flowing into and around the blade bearing much less the cooling system would destroy it. That's why you do not want to leave pc on your skin it draws moister right out of it. Besides transferring ink from the paper print plus whatever other chemicals are in or on the paper beyond what you add to your mix. Like I said great concept but pc's got to many clog/wear out problems involved in it when using a boat motor as a mixer.But if someone has got around them I'm all for it pass on the word.
