Now all you need is a “trowel mate” and you’ll really look the part. ?

Far easier not to overload the mixer, and put it on a square of membrane.

Sure that was on Dragons Den a couple of years ago

In theory 

I’ve had the mixer facing away from a wall . Bit splashes out into the floor - some of it went behind and hit the wall 

 

Use to put a sheet down and not overload . Still get splashes on things you don’t want splashed . This does the trick !!! ?

If you stand in front of it and stare into it like it's a black hole abyss then the wall won't get hit. This might be a bit of an issue for you in your normal state of undress but am sure you would get used to cement burns on your delicate bits.

Soon I’ll be doing the block paving which has to bedded in concrete .

Needless to say ; I need to mix concrete and not have it splash over my paving , or wall , or cladding , or fence !!

plastic sheet on floor and ‘magic lid’ seems good.

You are all obviously tidy and make no mess . I function differently ??

Ahhhhh ! Then it was worth the post to find an accomplice! eBay is your friend !

Does it just wedge in tight and can you take it off easily enough??

Most mixers I ever used had been on the end of quite a few bangs with hammers and shovels so the front was more egg shaped.

Lol !

i had to bang quite a bit of crud off for it to fit . Not tight at all ; but doesn’t fall out either !

Mine has an automatic overload preventer. The belt is so worn of you overload it it stops turning.
