SLC mixing bucket and dispenser. - Tile Advice

[Blunt Tool]

Seen this a few times on different sites, thinking of making one for next full house slc pour I’ll have again in a few months time. Anybody got one, bought one, made one? Any advice appreciated. Take it you mix about 3 bags at a time to fill it?

If I have help with me I could maybe make 2, one pouring and Labrador mixing next batches

Id like to see your Labrador on the mixer.
Good idea, not sure how well 3 bags at a time would mix ?

Maybe get him to mix then pour in, mix another etc till full

Put one of these on a decent mixer and it'll do three bags easily...

Do you think the one in picture is just a dustbin and some waste pipe with a valve

No. Isn't there a plumber on here you can ask?...

Looks like you'd want to fill the bottom of the bin up to the bottom of the pipe though or you'll have half a bag of SLC left in it, unless you can tip it up of course.

Yeah was going to ask one when one of them tile a day guys fell out with him!
Good idea about bottom of bin tho

A quick Google, that sort of fitting with a valve ( I'd use one that can be dismantled for cleaning) in the pipe.

Good call, so boss 60 to 50, waste 50 to 40, waste 40 to 32? So that it slows the flow down?
