Using a drill to mix reminds me of a few yrs ago when I worked for pilkingtons glass,a swimming pool in middlesbrough had a number of portholes so people could watch swimmers underwater,well one cracked so the pool was emptied for only a limited time only & we had to remove & reglaze them before it was filled back up, well using a 2 part mix polysulphide compound & had to be mixed by hand,so I made a ''mixer'' out of a bent hook bolt using the electric drill in a small storeroom,all went well till the tin slipped from between my feet & the whole bloody lot went flying, all the walls, my mate & me were covered in horizontal stripes,we had to get thinners & clean the walls before it hardened,we mixed by hand after that, btw they were 1" thick plate glass & about 3 ft in diameter [& none of them leaked!!] ps we've lived in yorkshire all our lives & mrs artfull's a farmers daughter from north yorks & a cook & I love her ''yorkshire puddings' fnar fnar we allways have them the traditional yorkshire way ie eat them 1st with gravy then the dinner comes next & if there's any left we eat them with sugar or jam
