Bigger Batch

[idreamofsoap]

I need your help guys... I am making a bigger batch of soap and I want to know whether the cement mixer attached to a drill will work as a hand blender? I am going to make about 400 ounces of soap and the hand blender wont reach the bottom as you know.

Thank you.

Sheila

I've heard of people using a "squirrel cage" attachment and a drill - is that what you mean?

You may want to mount your drill on a stand.

I have the attachment to mix concrete. I needed a strong drill and it tossed lots of concrete out of the bucket. It does put a whipping for concrete. You may want to start off with a paint mixer blade first to blend then beef it up to the concrete blade when at trace.

**** Just be careful thats a lot of lye to be mixing!! **** :shock:

My son regretted having no old jeans with him and I had to quickly wash off the odd splash. But thats my big bucket scenario.
My battery powered drills wouldn't work with a heavier paint drill head.
Happy soaping.

They make industrial sized stick blenders........if you are doing this size of batch frequently it might be worth the investment.

Now that is an interesting title. There could be a story behind that.
My three sons call this my big cubby house. I asked them what style they thought I had decorated in.I think I was hoping they might say shabby sheik or something even though it is far from finished. Anyways there unnaimous decision was that it is 'FUN' A playhouse for anything whimsical.
Thanks for the links to the stick blenders. Now I have something to aim for and that holder also..
I did find some aussi sites with them also.
That has been a help in that I have been looking at a second hand big chefs mixer. The owner wanted $350.oo aussi and it didn't even have beaters.Now I am thinking that the commercial stck beater is the best way to go.
