Update: my helper asked why I was mixing small batches in a 5 gallon bucket and I had no good answer
Spent two seasons splitting my mix into little batches "so I wouldn't waste any," then last Tuesday in the shop he pointed out I was dumping half of every batch down the drain anyway, so what's the point?
Two seasons of doing extra work for nothing, that stings lol. At least your helper caught it before season three, mine would've just watched me do it and said nothing.
