Any suggestions of a source for a new plaster mixing bucket please?
Needs to hold at least 30litres & be suitable for mixing with a power
driven paddle.

ISTR seeing one in a screwfix catalog within last 18 months or so, but
can't track it down.

TIA

Cor, they've come down in price - either that or that's a smaller one
than mine.

They are good though - and make handy tool-totes, too.

I particularly like the tubs of washing powder you get from Costco -
big stiff plastic ones which must be about 20 litres; vertical sides
and flat bottom so great for mixing/cleaning; and I cut a 3" hole in
the middle of the lid, which just lies in top and I can poke my
electric mixer, and not get everything covered in plaster while using
it...

And failing that, loads of places sell black plastic builders
buckets for GBP1 a go.

The important thing is that is has a flat bottom inside,
or you can't get the mixing paddle to mix it all.

TFT exactly as I had in mind. 38l capacity flat bottomed flexible
sides. They were piled up next to the sand etc in my local Wickes.

Bought! Problem solved!

Didnt they used to have lots of laborous then? Seems now they have to
do their own mixing and cleaning.
