I have one but it's too large for the hole in the KR 5 gallon containers.
I made a similar mixer to stir a 55 gallon drum. I cut a flat piece off a sheet of stainless and twisted it into a propeller, drilled a hole in the center, and attached it to a piece of threaded rod. It made enough movement of the fluid that I had trouble holding onto it or it would pull itself to the bottom of the drum.
If by mixing you mean stirring with a propeller chucked into a drill, it won't foam because you aren't introducing air. I mix my tire cleaner, presoak, and foam brush. I cut a transmission funnel so about a half inch will fit into a piece of 3/4" PVC with it cut to let the funnel just touch the bung and the bottom cut at a 45° angle and long enough to sit on the bottom. I have no problem pouring 15 gallons of foam brush soap into a 15 gallon drum without it foaming, and I can pour it almost as fast as it will flow.
I don't have the capacity to make my own mixer, You have to mix it very slow to prevent the foaming.
It will not foam when you mix it unless you intentionally lift your mixing blade to the top and let it aerate the chemical.
Mac I don’t think you get it. The soap isn’t separating in the tank, it’s separating in the bucket before they are opened and when stir or shake it up it’ll go back into solution but will then drop out after a few day or sometimes overnight. I gave up on the KR branded chemicals years ago for this very reason.
Ha.... Don't believe him. I've been waiting for him to mail me parts he's owed me for SEVEN MONTHS. He just gives me one excuse after another and a promise that the parts are coming.
I offered to sent you some money instead and you said no.
Thanks MEP, years ago I made homemade mixing blades to stir chemical tanks when I worked in aerospace. Since I lack a garage I don't have much materials to work with. I'll look around and get a small piece of stainless and make one and give it a shot.
