    Default There's a hole in my bucket..

    My BAL mixing bucket bit the dust the other. Let some addy go off and it didn't take to kindly to a hammer

    So it got replaced with a free Mapei one, buy 2 x keraflex get 1 x bucket free (shame it wasn't the other way round)

    I loved my old BAL mixing bucket but have to say the i'm starting to like this one better. It's shorter and wider than the BAL one so makes working straight out of it just a little bit easier.

    Or maybe i just like the fact it was free

    I use a lot of flexible tubs for mixing screed. usually I leave the dregs of the screed in them and the next day when it's hard a good tap with a hammer knocks it out in one ( maybe two or three). I saw ones in Asda for £3 and I thought why not? The day after I used it I tapped as usual and the hammer easily went right through it. You get what you pay for.

    The problem was I was spotted by a couple of brickies at the time
    Regards,
    Sandy
