Chris, I think Jim Brasheer byes his b-mix dry blended in the bag. His
students get to learn how to mix clay, play with reclaim, but he gets b-mix.
I think hes in fairbanks, chat chat chat. For what you pay to ship water
you can buy a mixer and you'll always know where the chunks are coming from.
If you havent thrown the stuff fluffy out of th emixer instead of those
super pugmills you gotta try it out.
