Ultra-CAT™ veneer adhesive is activated by mixing water into the powdered resin. Very small batches of adhesive can be mixed with a paint stick or whisk, but that can be time consuming. Instead, I recommend this helical mixing tool to quickly and easily get a smooth blend. Attach the mixer to a cordless drill and use at low speed. I think you'll find that mixing a batch of Ultra-CAT has never been easier.
Small - $2.95This size is great for mixing up to 1 lb of the U-CAT adhesive. It's cheap enough to be disposable, but it can be cleaned and re-used as neeed. Click the image to see a larger view.

Great mixer for Ultra-Cat. It is a necessary accessory for mixing this type of glue. I can't imagine trying to mix Ultra-Cat without it. Good for small to medium glue-ups.

Small mixer: very good and inexpensive. Will mix the glue very well. It scrapes container sides gently to ensure complete mix. Don't spin it too fast in free air as it tend to bend and vibrate.

Definitely a useful thing to have for mixing up the powdered PPR glue. Doing it by hand with a paint stick takes a good bit longer. Everything on this website is high quality and you can ask as many questions as you want and the owner will send you a nice reply. Happy to support this small business.

I've being using PPR glues (mostly from this website) for at least 10 years and everytime I mix a batch I tell myself that I will break down and buy a mixer on my next order. I was just using a paint stirrer and that just took forever to get the glue mixed smoothly. I took the plunge and now I wonder why the heck it took me so long to do this.
Do yourself a favor and get one. Your arm will thank you and your supporting one of the few honest web businesses left. These are good people. You support them and you'll see that they will support you.

Works great. No more sore arm from mixing glues and finishes. Just chuck into your cordless drill and go. Best money you'll spend. Buy it.
