First year I did more and didn't use a paddle. Now I use one paddle and less abrasive. Buy a bigger mixer if you want to do more traps a one time.

I pulled the paddle and doubled the abrasive and number of traps. Actually the bolts holding the paddle came loose and it fell off. Did 100+ traps Saturday as I worked on other things.
