First project: Old semi V hull conversion

[perchin]

Ok so I am getting ready to steelflex. I waited too long to order a paint mixer so I thought I would make one with the limited resources I had. Does anyone think that the make-shift steelflex mixer I have pictured below is a bad idea? I know it looks really bad...lol.. I had a long carriage bolt and an angle support. I put both together but my bolt threads did not extend all the way to the bolt head so I used duct tape to secure. I guess I am mainly concerned with the glue residue from the duct tape mixing with the chemicals from the steelflex and causing some adverse reaction. Thoughts?

BottomDweller..... you may want to just cut off the head of that carrige bolt, then drill a hole in your L bracket and use a two nuts on the threads to sandwidch the L bracket. Then use the other end in the drill..... If your steelflex mixes as stiffly as mine it will probably just twist off the bracket using the tape . You can look at my thread to see what I did that was similar.
