Can anyone recommend a mixer for a 100-gallon slip tank? It
originally came with a 1/3 horsepower mixer, which was totally
inadequate. I added another, same size, to make it workable. Now
they are both wearing out and I would like to make a more informed
decision about good equipment. Any suggestions?

Friend B:
Try checking with a mason - masonry supply house.
I've got a 1/2 horse motor with 24 inch stainless steel shaft and fins,
originally used for mixing stucco...20+ years old and still in fine
condition - great for paper clay too.

Berry,
It has been years since I read this somewhere and don't remember the source:
someone suggested using a "trolling motor" for this purpose....... i. e. the
electric motor used to slowly propel a boat through the water when fishing.
That was just weird enough to make me think it might work, and make the idea
stick in my memory. You would also have to come up with the appropriate DC
voltage supply.

Yes it works.. not too long ago I got one in a buyout of this ladys shop.
they had changed the motor however to a regular ac motor.. its a little too
fast for my personal prefference, but WHOOWEE can it mix some slip!!!
