- Everyone check out this new tool for drywall, painting, tile, or other trade work. It can work for diyers, pros, anyone who wants to mix up powder and water to make something.
Purchase this kit at PaintersSolutions.com Amazon.com or visit MudNMoreMixBall.com to learn more about the product and company.
I got to make several batches of hot mud with the Mud n' More Mix Ball yesterday and today.
I was really looking forward to using this new tool, and I'm happy to say that it works quickly and easily to mix up hot mud and it helps get your work done faster.
The kit comes with the measuring cups for the powder and water and the mixing bit to hook up to your drill.
The mixing ball, along with the other tools, cleans up in a bucket of water really easily without scrub brushes or scouring pads.
I recommend making a double batch or maybe a little bit smaller to start out. A single batch is considered three scoops of powder and one scoop of water. This is an okay amount for small fixes but won't last long on bigger repairs.

jmulato04jm thanks man!
Because of watching your videos you insprired me to start doing the same thing, im a painter as well in Denver, Co my buisness is called "Dad and son painting". :)
jmulato04jm Cool and awesome. Doing videos is a great outlet for painters, and is a great way to share positivity and share knowledge.
Hi XC,
I've been waiting for more videos. I hope you are doing well.
Thanks for asking. Things are going okay. I'm putting more videos out, sorry that they aren't very often lately. A really good Brush review is in the works and due out soon. I have a lots of footage to work with still. Sometimes it's hard to get a video made if I feel the video doesn't explain things enough, or just isn't complete. How are you doing?
@@XCPainter I'm doing great.
I'm glad you're doing fine, just busy is a good problem to have.
Keep it up
Have you used this product again? ...I would think most (professionals and DIY'ers) would rather mix by hand instead of cleaning & storing more limited use tools.
Jeremy Trafton Thanks for asking about that valid point. I haven't used it lately, but I have bern doing mostly all new construction lately which requires zero patching or mudding. Although I still expect to do Lots of hot mudding in the future so I will gladly bring it with me for those jobs. You do have a good point, but I've got literally, a ton of tools in my garage that I do not use regularly, but still value greatly.
Great product but what’s up with the Dexter plastic room?
That was my temporary spray booth I put up in order to paint two or 3 shop projects
Have you put any paint to this yet?
Tomorrow's Tools No I haven't yet, but will be working in the shop soon so you never know, might happen.
Spatulas are for blending, folding, and scraping the sides of a container out, not mixing (they're likely used in this system because the proper tool would damage the ball). The kitchen aisle of your local secondhand store will have a ton of old beaters for electric mixers that fit into any drill and you can mix up your mud right in the pan. Ditch the measuring cups and just learn to add water until you get the consistency you're looking for, since that might not be the same for every project. Practice by making your crew pancakes or something. And whenever using an electric tool to do your mixing, be careful not to over-aerate by cranking the speed way up.
Jacob Thompson Hi Jacob. I took all your points into consideration. Reflected on my own use of the mix ball and the mix bit, versus the methods I have used for 20 years to mix hot mud.
If you look up Spatula on Wikipedia, it states, "A spatula is a broad, flat, flexible blade used to mix, spread and lift material"[1] including foods, drugs, plaster and paints."
If you had another mixer of your choice, it wouldn't hurt the ball one "bit ".
I feel the Mud n More mix bit works quite well and is easy to rinse and wipe clean.
It's flexible, smooth, no blades to clean between like the metal beater/mixers you suggest I use. Those rounded beaters wouldn't mix the bottom and corners of a mud pan anyways... so I'll skip that.
I should "practice making pancakes"? I make pancakes by eyeballing measurements already.
I have had years of practice mixing mud in a metal mud pan, by adding water and mixing with drywall knives.
I do just fine with that. But I don't think drywall knives were made for mixing. They were made to apply drywall compound. Rectangle metal pans weren't designed to be mixing basins either.
Nonetheless I'll continue to adapt and use the best tool that I have on me........
I found a little mixer that mixes on the bottom and corners just fine. Mixed perfect and of course incredibly faster. It did make a little splatter if you crank up the speed like stated, but I would sometimes put a cardboard box big enough to go around the pan and mix away.
If I have a bunch of skim coating or taping I like to mix just a bit of hot mud then add mostly premixed to it, and then mix it all up. Prevents any mud drying in the pan, but speeds up the drying time on the wall considerably compared to premixed by itself.
Get yourself a 24" mix ball best decision you'll ever make.
I am speechless which is not good.
Haha that's okay man.
This is double work, and now you have to clean the pan and the ball
Mateo Carrion Thanks for commenting... I keep a bucket a water handy when using hotmud and the ball cleaned out in about 1 minute in a little water.
Jesus on that mainline
