Flexi tubs

Ah in gorilla kitchy yeah, know exactly what you mean, because your not sinkin the full paddle in you can't get the water to go through it properly.[emoji106]
Get a proper bucket, sounds so simple & silly but I won't mix up in any other than the ones I have now, ever!!

Not taken as a dig Lodan, don't be silly.
Your keeping the drill slow by whatever means, why?
So it doesn't go all over the place is the answer!!!

yeah keeping it slow and the reason is on my own its easier to not clean the bucket and i can just knock the old shite out of my gorilla the next day and give it a wipe with a scouring pad

sorry i am one of them....once i knocked it out in the morning i give it a quick scrub
 
Cleaning a bucket takes 30 seconds (if that) when it's soft. It's quicker than banging it out, never mind a scouring pad.
That's another thing, gorilla are a c**t to wash out, you can't just throw some water in and spin the whisk in it, in the taller buckets you can, bucket and whisk clean in 10 secs.

Must be bored tonight!!

Can't get on with gorilla tubs.
I've got a 200mm paddle and the s**t goes EVERYWHERE.
Tall buckets no probs. Straight in. Boosh. Just churns it round in seconds. No fannying about moving a little whisk round and round...

Get a negative rake paddle
Takes a bit longer to mix but stays in the bucket lol
 
I only use proper skimming buckets for skimming balls to the monkey buckets tried it for a bit and f**k that OK for throwing rubbish in then chucking it in the skip tho [emoji106]

Use flexi tubs if I'm not using my board and stand. Easier to knock the plaster out when I forget to clean it out straight after putting on, or if I get caught by the set going off, can just leave it and knock it out later.
 
Never used the flexi tubs but after seeing how common they are I might have to give it a try.

I use a old plastic bucket that used to hold chlorine for a pool store. It holds 12.2 gal. Mixes fast and cleans up easy but I don't let my plaster stay in it long.

Worth having a look at our PUTZ TaliaGOM Buckets. They are very very robust - yes 2 x very's! Made of a special type of Gum/Rubber in France. Our biggest selling bucket and the reviews are great

ive had mine on a pully for few weeks. hoisting up buckets of gear 4 lifts up. not a split in site.
good product mr Hill
 
Hmmm...rubber buckets look good.

No one round me seems to stock genuine gorilla tubs any more and the copies are so bad I'm lucky if I get more than a week before handle snaps.
like @Cornelius, I tend to mix skim in tall tub, but mainly because the mixm8 can empty a gorilla tub in less than a second if I'm not paying attention.

Anyone had flexi tub mares? I had a handle go on 1 bag mix carrying it up into a loft conversion. Luckily stairs were narrow so I managed to wedge it with my leg. That could have been a very bad day....:eek:
